Pond's Multi-Action Facial Wash Review

Pond's is a very old Multinational brand of beauty and health care products. Whenever I hear about this brand the first thing that comes in my mind is Pond's Cold cream which my mother use to pack it in my luggage while leaving to hostel. How some brands(Products) and our memories are mixed makes me smile sometimes anyhow after pond's cold cream it really took long time to get back to there products long time means really long time for about 10-12 years Yes!! I have never used there products specially skincare. Couple of years back accidently I have used Pond's Pure White Deep Cleansing Facial Foam and I liked it and started using it for almost 5months then I started to explore there more products frankly I like there facewashes than anyother products
.
When I saw a new facewash Pond's Multi-Action I ordered it through Nykaa.com and forgot completely about it after then I shifted to USA when I was searching for known products for my face(as my facial skin was getting very sensitive and having acne so dont want to take risk) here in US I saw the same facial wash in amazon.com and ordered it. So now lets get started with the Pond's Multi-Action Facial Wash Review!!

My Take:

This facewash with a signature fragrance of ponds is in light greenish color with greenish blue micro granules in it which hepls in gentle exfoliation. The fragrance is mild and does not irritate if u have sensitive nose. After using it for more than 2 weeks I can tell that it removes excess oil and gives a clean bright effect each time. Since I have oily skin the oil factory will be on my face so removing that greasyness and giving you the fresh feel is a thumbs up from me. Even though it removes excess oil does not make you skin dry or stretchy.

The consistency of this facewash is creamy and lathers very well little goes a long way. It comes with a sturdy flip open cap which can be travel friendly.

For all other skin problems like whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and blemishes it does nothing. I haven't seen any noticeble difference for the above mentioned problems. It does tighten the pore but thats not noticeble again. It didn't fight with pimples and also didn't irritate the skin to create new one's.

Pros:

• Removes excess oil
• Brightens the face each time after face washing
• Mild fragrance
• Travel friendly
• Gives a fresh clean feel
• Does not require lot of product. It can last for good long time
• Exfoliates gently

Cons:

• Does not fight against pimples.
• Loaded with chemicals
• Does nothing with blemishes
• No effect on whiteheads & blackheads

Overall:
It is a decent facewash which will be good in summers to remove oils from face and gives that instant brighten face. If your looking for pimple clearing facewash then its not for you.

Will I buy it again?
No, Just for brightening and excess oil removing I will not buy it instead I can go back to Ponds pure white deep cleansing one.

Best way to Teeze the Tangles - Tangle Teezer

I still remember the days I use to scream when my mum use to comb my hair. This is a childhood memory I have with my hair. I always love to grow my hair long but never dare to do that coz my hair is fine wavy and get tangles very easy and we all know tangles = hairfall. I have this habit of searching  different hair tools specially hair brushes and buying them which i think it will be useful to tame down my hair.

Currently I'm using Vega paddle brush which is working pretty decently but I always had an eye on Tangle Teezer back when I was in India. Frankly I was hesitating to put so much money on a hair brush so always gave up on the thought but finally now I bought it!!

About The Product:

This sensational detangling hairbrush removes knots and tangles as soon as you start brushing, no need for painful pulling and unnecessary hair breakage. Tangle Teezer's genius designed teeth flex just the right amount to de-stress, detangle and smooth the hair's cuticle. Tangle Teezer is also hair extension and weave friendly, unlike ordinary brushes and combs which catch, tug and snag. Tangle Teezer effortlessly blends with existing hair creating a seamless and flawless finish.

Cost: $9.86

I was debating between The original and The Elite but went ahead with the original one that too with my current favourite color purple its called Plum Delicious. I like the name!!

It can be used on dry and wet hair but I never comb my hair when its wet so, cant really tell how it works on wet hair. Its the perfect comb for removing knots and makes my hair a bit straight and more manageable. One thing I should mention that when I used it for the first time my hair scalp was oily usually at this point of time I should have a bit more of falling but this magical comb has managed it so well without too much hair fall and also distributed the scalp oil to my entire hair and made it to shine thus reducing the greasyness of the scalp. Totally in love with this beauty and will continue to use it. The size is also perfect for combing and it fit so well in the hand which makes our job easy.

Pros:

• As the product claims it removes knots and tangles easily avoiding pulling and unneccesary breakage.
• Makes my wavy hair a bit straight.
• Reduces hairfall even on the third day of hair wash. which is Yay Yay for me!!
• Distributes the scalp natural oils equally to the entire hair.
• Availability is not an issue
• Easy to clean
• Claims to be used on dry and wet hair.
• Suitable for all hair types.

Cons:

• Expensive but worth every penny.
• Not travel friendly but other travel friendly compact size with lid are available
• It gives a messy look so need other normal comb to get that neat hairstyles.

Over all I would give ***** and recommend it all hair types.
