Garnier Skin Naturals Pure Active Neem Face Wash Review

by Arpita

Today, I am going to throw some light on Garnier Skin Naturals Pure Active Neem Face Wash. I recently bought it, used once and I am planning not to use it ever again. Read on to know why..

Price: 

Rs.49 for 50g (Thank God I bought the smaller version)

 

How to Use?:

• Take an adequate amount of this face wash and apply it on your face.
• Gently massage and create lather.
• Rinse well.

My Take:

Packaging and Consistency: This face wash comes in a typical Garnier plastic tube with a screw cap. The consistency of this face wash is quite runny with a green gel like texture.

Before you start reading this section, let me tell you something about my skin type. I have oily (read very oily) skin which is pimple prone and is extremely sensitive. If something does not suit me, it immediately shows up on my face as pimples. 2 days before planning to try this product on my face, I ate healthy stuff namely apples, green veggies and drank lots of water to make sure that I can review this product accurately. My skin was completely fine and my face was glowing. I used this face wash at night and went to bed. Next day, I woke up and saw three BIG pimples on my face – 2 on both eyebrows and one on the cheek. I felt angry and I have thus found that it will not suit sensitive skin.

However, my daughter and hubby like it a lot. My hubby has oily skin too (same pinch to me lol) which tends to attract a lot of dirt. He says that it worked fabulously for him and it makes his face super clean and removes all oil and dirt. My hubby does not have sensitive skin.

PROS:

• Packaging
• Color and gel-like texture of the product, which is appealing to the eyes
• Makes the skin squeaky clean
• Removes all oil and dirt
• Fragrance is nice
• Contains Salicylic acid and Neem
• Available in different sizes
• A very small amount is needed for that perfect lather

CONS:

• Breaks me out
• A bit difficult to wash it off
• SLS

 

Final Verdict: 

If you do not have sensitive skin like me, then it may suit you. I think it was my fault that I tried it because it has been mentioned nowhere on the pack that it will suit very sensitive skin. However, it suited my hubby perfectly.

 

MABH Rating: 3/5 (-2 for breaking me out)

P.S: Have you tried this face wash? I am just curious to know if any Garnier products have ever suited you! Please do let me know in the comments below.. I do not know why every Garnier product I have tried breaks me out! SO strange :P
