GUEST REVIEW BY SREEPARNA GANGULY
Cleansing is the first and foremost step to have good skin. For people like me who have oily and acne-prone skin, this step is vital to keep the facial pores clear all the time. This way a major part of lingering acne problem can be solved. I generally put my faith on strong acne face washes for this purpose but they tend to make my skin flaky dry in winter. So, this year I decided to give Lotus Herbals JOJOBAWASH Active Milli Capsules Nourishing Face Wash a try. I will be presenting my experience of the same to you today. Stay tuned to know how it fared on me.

Active Herbal Ingredients
Jojoba
Gently cleanses, natural moisturiser, provides deep skin nourishment and maintains natural pH balanace.
Avocado
Makes skin soft.
Vitamin E
Prevents water loss from the skin & helps retain natural moisture.
How To Use
Squeeze a small quantity on wet palm of your hand. Crush milli capsules and work out lather. Apply on your wet face with circular motions. Wash off.
Packaging
This face cleanser comes in a light yellow transparent flip-top tube. In the opening of the tube, there sits a yellow flip-top cap that also has a screw-open facility. This kind of dual open cap is very convenient when it comes to Lotus Herbals face washes as most of them have a tendency to dispense excess product through the opening of the flip-top cap.
Colour, Texture & Smell
This face wash is basically a transparent and colourless liquid which has some sparsely distributed cleansing beads called ‘Milli Capsules’ suspended in it. Colour wise they are blue, yellow and light greyish blue. When I massage the cleanser in my face they get smashed. These Milli capsules provide extra nourishment to the skin.
It has mild floral fragrance. The smell is not at all overpowering and lingers for only 10-15 minutes after application.
Suitability
In my opinion, this is a great winter face cleanser for all skin types. Although it is not a foaming cleanser it produces enough lather to cleanse my face well in the winter when the sebum secretion is less. But I do not think this product would be enough to cleanse my extremely oily face in the summer time.
My Views
At first, I was sceptical of using only this cleanser as my existing acne face wash was able to clear the breakouts to some extent. So, I started to use it as my night time facial wash. I followed it up with a non-comedogenic moisturiser. For the first 2-3 days everything looked the same about my face. I felt the dryness was a little less than before. I could see no aggravation in my existing pimples. After that, I decided to take a chance. I stopped my acne face wash totally and carried on with this twice a day. For the next 2 weeks, I relied upon only this cleanser and moisturiser. I applied nothing else to my face in the time span, not even my favourite sunscreen or BB cream. I could notice a subtle glow in my skin after 1 week of continuous usage. It hydrated my skin well and soothed the dry zones of my face.
I did not experience any new breakout, though, the existing zits were healing at their own pace and the acne marks remained same too. I do not consider it a con because the product does not claim any such things. It claims to cleanse and nourish the skin that it certainly does.

HI, Nice review. I too have oily and acne prone skin. Which moisturizer do you use after using this face wash?

Thank you Aarti 🙂 After this face wash I use Neutrogena moisturizer for combination skin. It is a non-comedogenic face moisturiser.
