MY REVIEW:
We are all aware of the importance of a face wash. Especially during summer season, we need something that'd not only take off all the dirt and oil but also keeps pimples and dark spots at bay. I have a combination skin and my T-zone gets really oily. Also I had dark spots on one of my cheeks and nothing was helping me reduce them let alone disappear. After having tried many facial washes, I wasn't holding out much hope with this one. However, I am pleasantly surprised.

I use this face wash twice a day. After my first use, I noticed results the very next morning. My skin appeared clearer, brighter. This wash didn't leave my face feeling tight and rough.

I pour like a pea size amount and gently massage on my skin, starting on the problem area first - my cheeks. After two months of regular use, my dark spots have significantly reduced. My skin looks even and fresh. It does not prevent but does reduce the chance of having pimples. This face wash leaves a cooling effect after application. It removes all the impurities and makes my skin clean and baby soft. Keeps oil at bay for almost 4 hours. 

It has a minty fragrance that wakes you up in the morning but if you have a low tolerance for strong minty smell, it might be a discomfort for you. It's a green liquid with a runny consistency. The bottle is a flip open bottle so it's leakage proof and that's what makes it travel-friendly.

I reckon the trick is using a small amount as it lathers quite well (not foamy though) and as tea tree can be very drying, it is more suited for those with oily/combination and acne prone skin. Although it's nothing a good moisturiser can't fix.

Overall I think I have finally found my HG face wash. My skin feels so calm and it leaves a fresh feeling behind. You only need a small amount as it goes very far making it great value for money. I will definitely continue to buy this product.


PROS:

• You have oily/combination and acne prone skin.
• Makes skin clearer, brighter and even.
• Reduces dark spots.
• Great quantity. Little goes a long way.
• Comes off easily.
• Cooling sensation after wash.
• Travel-friendly.

CONS:

• Makes you skin dry or irritates you.
• You expect it to control oil for long hours.
• You find it pricey.

MY RATING:
5/5
