Aroma therapeutic skin and hair care products have always been able to hold a special position in my vanity because nothing can lift up my mood like an appropriately fragrant product. Citrus, berry and mint are three of my absolute summer favorites. In my today’s review I am going to blabber on a soap-free facial cleanser which is currently blowing my mind with its minty freshness. I got this one from the Aroma Magic counter in my local beauty store last year but could not finish. I am going to finish it very soon so I thought about sharing my views on this product to you. Read on to know how it works for me.
About Aroma Magic Mint Cleanser
A soap free non oily cleanser. Deep cleanses the pores and removes excess oil and sebum. Its anti bacterial agent helps skin to maintain normal condition and look fresh, clean and healthy.
Price
Rs.135 for 50gm
Active Ingredients
Natural extracts of Peppermint, Spearmint, Clove, Neem and pure, organic essential oils of Geranium, Rose and Tea Tree.
How To Use
Dampen skin, apply a little cleanser with warm water and massage gently. Wipe off with damp cotton or sponge. Use morning and night.
Packaging
This cleanser comes in two types of packaging. The 50gm pack which I have is a tub pack while the 100gm pack has tube packaging. My tub is made up of sturdy plastic and is completely leak-proof. Its body is pure white in colour and the screw-cap is red. Previously majority of Aroma Magic products had such packaging but recently they have revamped their packaging. The mint cleanser tub has every bit of information mentioned on the body along with brand logo etc. There is nothing much worth mentioning about the packaging except I find such tub packagings quite unhygienic. I don’t like to dip my finger every time I am applying it to my face. So, I have kept an ice-cream spoon to help me out with my cleanser tub.
Fragrance & Texture
This soap-free cleanser is greenish white in colour and its texture looks thick and creamy. But when I apply it with a little water the creamy feel just vanishes away. You can actually dissolve the cleanser in water.
I have always been a fan of fresh fragrances and that is the reason I will make repeated purchases of this product in future. It has a very energizing mint and clove fragrance that feels quite strong when the product is being applied. After that it reduces greatly and only a faint hint remains as I cleanse it with water.
My Views
Aroma Magic’s Mint Cleanser was my first attempt towards cream cleansers for oily skin and I am quite happy that I have come across such an effective product. Though this one looks like a dense cream in the tub, once applied it does not feel oily at all. It takes surprisingly less water to get off from the skin. It mattifies the skin like foam face washes like Himalaya Neem foaming face wash or Pond’s Whitebeauty face cleanser.
Though my combination skin becomes oily in summer, twice a day application of this product is not required. So, I use this in the morning because this is the time I experience more oily skin. This cleanser has cooling effects on the skin which is another nice thing about this product after its minty fragrance. If you are someone with sensitive eyes you are advised to keep this cleanser away from the eye area to prevent stinging sensations. This product is able to shrink the existing pimples but not those stubborn cystic ones. Though it does not disrupt my current skin condition, it does not prevent new break outs either.
