Garnier Pure Active Real Neem Face Wash Product Review

If you are a regular reader on the blog, you would know that I am a die-hard fan of Garnier Pore Unclogging face wash even though it has SLS. On my last trip to the supermarket, I was searching for another face wash which my skin would love and I picked up this Pure Active Neem one thinking it would be just the same and more over it was in a buy 2 get 1 offer. Bad idea to buy things for the first time in such offers!!

Anyways, needless to say the product disappointed me a lot. Why? Let us check out.

Garnier Pure Active Real Neem Face Wash Product Review

  • Price : Rs 90 for 100gms
  • Availability : at all the supermarkets and online shopping sites
  • Packaging : travel-friendly like all the tube face washes.
  • Texture : gel face wash, green in color and needs a bit of water to wash off as it leaves a slimy feel after washing the face.
  • Ingredients : It does have SLS, salicylic acid and sodium benzoate instead of parabens as preservatives.

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Shampoo Conditioner Product Review

Huh…I should have posted this at the end of February but with shifting to wordpress and Mr. P’s sprained leg and a family function, I just could not find time for this post.

So, let me start by saying – this is definitely one of the product ranges which can be given a try. I have successfully completed one month of #HappyHairChallenge without finishing either the shampoo and conditioner and, considering they are over the counter products, they are not really expensive.

One peeve which I had with this range was that they could have come up with an intensive hair treatment or hair mask as well since it is meant for dry and damaged hair. It would have been SO helpful. So, lets see what I have to say about the product overall.

Specification First

  • Price: Rs 135
  • Availability: All super markets + Online websites
  • Packaging: Yellow color adds a pop to your bathroom. Travel-friendly.
  • Smell: It smells decent. Nothing strong or over-powering.
  • Texture: Both shampoo and conditioner are creamy in texture and spread easily on hair.
  • Contains SLS

Usage and Results

One dollop of shampoo is enough for two washes of my hair. It lathers well even in very small quantities and removes oil from even oil-dripping hair.

The conditioner is creamy and spreads easily on the hair length. And, also washes off easily.

The combo leaves the hair feeling healthy and nourished. But, the results wears off after a day or two. And, the hair does get a lot softer and tangle-free. It might be able to control moderate amount of frizz but a leave-in treatment is extremely necessary to protect the ends of the hair.

Overall Verdict

One of the decent shampoos which can be given a try. As I said, if they had come up with a intensive hair mask treatment, it would have been an added bonus to use!

What do you say?

 Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Shampoo Conditioner Product Review

As I mentioned sometime back, I had started with the #HappyHairChallenge and I had asked you to guess the products! So, yes, you are right. It is Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition and let us see how is my hair doing after 15 days of using the products!

My Biggest Hair Problem

As I mentioned, I had been searching for my HG shampoo after a stint with Organic Surge. For now, let us see how it is doing.

I did not use any other products except for hair oils and shampoo and conditioner duo, not even the leave-in or any other after-wash treatment.

Split Ends

See, the sad truth about splits is that nothing can repair it. So, do not believe any claims on this ground. No, I need a hair cut.

Itchy Scalp

I do not have hair fall issue or hair breakage problem but what I do have itchy scalp. My scalp starts itching badly after two days of wash. So, I need to take care of my scalp better. And, the shampoo has not made any change to it.

Dry Hair, Undernourished Hair, Rough Hair, Dull Hair?

Hair looks bouncy and healthy for almost a day and half after a wash but gradually becomes drier after that. And, it does not give a lot of shine to the hair. The hair does look healthy after the wash.

Soft Hair

Hair has, no doubt, become softer for any number of days after the wash!

Frizziness

And, the finale! Yes, it helps with the frizz.

Also, I have to add that the weather has become warmer and less drier so it is also having a good effect on the hair.

Summary

There is not much a shampoo and conditioner duo can do for the hair so I can safely say that it is doing all that it claims – making the hair soft and shiner as in healthier. Since my hair is not really weak, I can not talk about it improving the strength and, anyways, only new hair can be stronger not the existing ones!

Also, can not really comment on the split ends part because there were already a pretty lot of splits in my hair which I did not get rid of. One thing I would like to add here is that the ends of my hair before using these products were looking straw-like which has, since then, improved. Final review coming in the end of this month.

So, that is my hair condition right now. Let us see how much the product helps to improve it! Have you used the Garnier Triple Nutrition? Did it improve your hair? Did you like the range? Or, do you love some other shampoo?

Are men listening?

Ok, so, Garnier has started a very cool campaign of #SayNoToBars specially for men. Obviously, drinking is bad and adds a lot of years to your man. But, we are talking about soap bars here. So, when I was talking to P about this campaign (who btw uses soap even on my countless behests), he was like yeah, I love that face wash but damn who will use so many products in the bathroom when one does all the work!!
Men will be men like the Imperial Blue ad says. And, my struggle with him continues. In the mean time, enjoy the campaign details by Garnier while I try to talk some sense into him 🙂

Join Garnier Men India In The Nationwide Movement

Men will be men! No matter what the situation, this statement will always hold true for them.

Take a minute to think this through…
How many men have you seen who pay attention to grooming? Well, we know your answer – barely any, right! That’s true for most men. As the brand that cares about men and their grooming, Garnier Men India is out on a mission to change this.

We believe, behind every successful man there is a woman – who helps him with what to wear and what to do. So, what could be a better way to make men change their attitude towards grooming than get the women to lead this initiative with us?

This is why, Garnier Men has partnered with over 30 bloggers who are recognised as experts in beauty and care, in this Nationwide Movement where we ask men to Say No To Bars. Yes, we mean – Say No To ‘Soap’ Bars. Wondering why? Here you go –

1. Soap bars are unhygienic as the same bar is used for multiple purposes. Instead, why not switch to a face wash which is for a defined purpose?

2. Soap bars are history now! Modern men prefer to use face wash that is customised to suit their skin’s needs.  So, why not be the man of today who loves modern facilities?

3. Soap bars are inconvenient and not practical to use at all. Then, why not be smart and switch to a face wash which is easy to carry?

Keeping these advantages of face wash in mind, we ask men to take a pledge against the use of soap bars. We instead recommend men to use the Garnier Men Oil Clear Face Wash for a deep cleansing action which removes excess oil without drying your skin while ensuring a day-long oil-free feel.

To make sure, they get the message clearly, here’s a fun song which tells you why it’s time to #SayNoToBars and #SayYesToOilClear – bit.ly/StupidThingsMenDo

So go ahead, bring a change in the men you care about!

Garnier Daily Care Gentle Cleansing Milk Product Review

So, on the days you do not want to write anything serious, product reviews can be a boon but let me make it very clear when you are doing a serious review, writing the review itself is a huge issue!! Anyways, coming back to the product, I am not a fan of cleansing milks because they get empty very soon 🙁

This cleansing milk is very thin and spreads easily on the face and neck and arms easily. It does remove the makeup pretty well. I can not really talk about kajal, though. But, then, kajal is probably the most stubborn in my stash except for mascara.
Pros
removes makeup really well
does not leave any film on the skin
gets washed off easily

Garnier Daily Care Gentle Cleansing Milk Product Review

So, that’s pretty much my review of the product. Btw, I want to leave you pondering on something which I want to discuss soon enough. What is the difference between face washes and cleansers and cleansing milks? Do you think one can be used in place of another?

Also, I would like to tell you all that I shall probably not be around this weekend on the blog so please excuse the unanswered comments. These days I am getting time to answer them only in the weekends. So, see ya all on Monday. And, wish you all a very Happy Independence Day 🙂
Availability
The product is easily available but I got it from myntra.

Have you used the product? What special are you doing for the Independence Day?
PS: Product sent by website.

Garnier Pure Active Pore unclogging wash {Product Review}

· · 9 Comments

So, just on the weekend I revealed that I absolutely love this particular product. Little did I know that I had almost run out of the product so I would anyway be doing the product review within 3 days! Anyways, as I said earlier this is amazing for oily and acne-prone skin though I am not really sure about the dry skin. 

Let me start with the packaging. Hate it! First, the product just comes out as soon as you unscrew the cap. Also, you get more than enough of the product because of which you tend to overuse it and run out of the facewash early. It lasted just 15-18 days with two uses per day. Also, if it came with a flip top cap, it would have been easy to open it in the shower otherwise the tube feels a little slippery in water. 
Pros
feels cool on skin
removes blackheads completely
helps to avoid breakouts
Now, let me come to the good. It is a light blue tinged in color and foams really well. Well, it does have SLS 🙁 Anyways, it feels so so cool on your face after applying as if you have poured a lot of menthol on the face. Damn awesome in summers specially. Might not be a really great feel in winters, though 😀
Now, it has salicylic acid so yes the blackheads are all GONE! First product which actually works on blackheads and I do think it works on breakouts as well because I did have a few bumps thanks to my skin-picking habit which did not dwell for more than 24 hours. It definitely helps in prevention if not cure. 
Cons
bad packaging! 
might dry out the dry skin
might not be great in winters
What else do I like about the product? Ummm…I pretty much mentioned everything. Yeah, one more thing is this might not be a great product for winters. Otherwise, yes, I would suggest it to every oily, combi and acne-prone skin.
Price: Rs 79 for 50gms

Availability
This facewash is pretty much available in all supermarkets and general stores. I got it from myntra, though. 
PS: Product was bought against a voucher in return for a product review for the website.
