Clean & Clear Morning Energy Face Wash Purifying Apple Review

I have this weird habit of buying every possible face wash available in the market. I often juggle between varieties, but I always prefer to keep by HG face wash - Ponds active carbon, handy at all the time. During winter, I reduce the usage of face washes as the skin is already dry most of the time. I just prefer washing it only at night and rest of the time follow the CTM method. I used Clean & Clear face wash long time back when they had only a single variant in the market. Later, with so many options in the market, I almost forgot about this brand. Last month when Lavanya reviewed a variant from this family, I fell in love with their packaging. This gave me a thought of trying out a variant of the Indian version. I was little skeptical about the paraben portion but it is surprising that they don't have parabens in the Indian version. No wonder, I had to choose the green apple one as the smell is just amazing and stimulating. Read on to know how this face wash worked for me.

My Experience With Clean & Clear Morning Energy Face Wash Purifying Apple:

The face wash comes in a light weight transparent plastic bottle with a purple cap, that has both flip open cap as well as screw lid. You can use it as per your own convenience. The bottle is quite sturdy and travel-free. It easily fits into your little sling for carrying around. The face wash is greenish translucent liquid which is neither runny nor thick and somewhere in the middle with lots of minute green bursting beads. Needless to say, the face wash smells heavenly of green apple and the smell lingers for sometime even after the wash. I wish it stayed little longer to have that refreshing feeling early morning.

The product is very effective on oily skin and removes the grease and grime. It cleanses the face totally. Do not expect it to remove your makeup because you require an effective makeup remover/coconut oil for that along with a thorough CTM procedure. Post washing the face, the dry and combination skin beauties might feel the need to apply a moisturizer but extremely oily people will not need it. I felt that the beads were useless as exfoliation didn't help my skin much. Regardless of that, as the face wash promises, it keeps the skin oil free for a stretch of 2-3 hours. Another notable thing is that the face wash didn't break me out and is absolutely refreshing as a morning wash.

Final Note:

I was quite happy using this face wash as it works great as a mild dirt removing face wash.
