We all are aware that lakme has introduced a new way of salon treatment with this new range of clean ups consisting of a face wash, face scrub and a face mask which has three variants. They talk about salon like clean up at home will be gained after adding these to your beauty regimen. The available variants are-

1)    Lakme clean up Fresh fairness

2)    Lakme Strawberry nourishing glow

3)    Lakme Clean pores with green tea extract

Since I have oily skin I got attracted to the clean pores variant which has green tea extracts. Green tea is different than our regular black drinking tea as green tea undergoes minimal oxidation method, has a lot of antioxidant properties and removes toxins from our skin and makes you look younger! It’s now a preferred drink everywhere and if I find it in any product, it becomes a must try for me 🙂

MY EXPERIENCE WITH LAKME CLEAN UP FACE WASH CLEAR PORES WITH GREEN TEA EXTRACTS

Lakme clean up face wash is packed in a sea green tube with a flip cap. The face wash is gel based and therefore one needs to be very careful while using it, as it’s so lubricious that it bounces out of the palm (yes I am an expert in doing weird stuff).

As I rubbed the face wash against my palm taking the coin size amount  I got disheartened as I wasn’t able to see any foam formation. On taking out a little more quantity than the coin size in my palm I added few droplets of water, tried again and thankfully it did lather now.

As I rubbed the face wash across my face the first time and rinsed it off, I felt cooling effect which got me really excited. ‘This is something new’, I exclaimed!

The gel face wash feels very creamy and soft on skin. The fragrance of it is that of typical lakme face wash. It felt slippery first while washing my face with normal tap water and it required a little more than the usual water to wash it off completely but after when it got washed off I got a squeaky clean face.

All the dirt, oil and impurities were gone and what remained was a fresh matte face. This was the best part undeniably!

It helps keep oil at bay for more than 2 hours (if I don’t apply anything after washing and want to keep a bare face@ HOME) which is an amazingly good time 🙂

It is very gentle on face yet the action is very effective. This clean up boasts of clearing blemish as well but can’t comment on it as I don’t have any, so unable to judge.

TURN ON: LAKME CLEAN UP  FACE WASH CLEAN PORES  WITH GREEN TEA EXTRACTS

1)   It’s very gentle on skin yet it’s very effective.

2)    Removes oil and dirt easily from face.

3)   Didn’t cause any breakout.

4)   Feels very cool on my face.

5)   Since its very gentle and everyday face wash it will not rip off your skin’s natural oils and hence won’t dry out your skin.

6)   A perfect match for oily and acne prone skin.

TURN OFF: LAKME CLEAN UP  FACE WASH CLEAN PORES  WITH GREEN TEA EXTRACTS

1)    Except the cooling effect I get the same result through my other face wash (I usually use dove face wash pore care REVIEW HERE). So didn’t understand the need for this price range of the clean up.

It’s definitely an expensive option.

2)    The face wash doesn’t lather very well IF I don’t add water in my palm, To make it lather well without adding water I need extra dollops, which obviously would mean that the tube will get finish soon.

3)    Takes a little more time to rinse as compared to the rest of the face wash I use. (this is just a minute point I thought to mention: however after the wash I did notice a difference in my skin texture which was soft and clean at the same time)

4)    SLS present( it’s a harsh chemical) 🙁

COSMOCHICS RATING: 4.50/5(MINUS THE MARK FOR THE HIGH PRICE & SLS)

“INFO ON A SILVER PLATTER:- LAKME clean up face wash is definitely a good option if you are bored using your regular ones. It does pretty good job removing the makeup, Oil and dirt but apart from this I am unable to see any other cause as to why it should be so highly priced!!

Still, there is no harm in buying a tube and checking out yourself, (IF presence of harsh chemical & high price doesn’t bother you) isn’t it?
