New Patanjali Saundarya Face Wash - Review

So I had already used the earlier version of Patanjali Saundarya Face Wash. I meant this one. It was so-so, nothing exceptional! But the one I’m reviewing is a new one, Patanjali Saundarya Face Wash with the goodness of Pearl and Vitamin B3.

It’s supposed to be used for normal to oily skin and not suitable for dry skin. At least, that’s what is written on the tube.

New Patanjali Saundarya Face Wash – My Review

Packaging:

As you can see from the image, Patanjali Soundarya Face Wash comes packed in a white colored, opaque plastic tube with a golden colored flip  cap. The packaging seems to be quite sturdy and strong. It also appears to be quite spill-proof and travel friendly.

Fragrance

When you squeeze out a little bit of it, you can see that it is white in color and  has a creamy texture. It does have a citrusy aroma – not too much, and a slight hint of a clinical smell but since the overall fragrance isn’t too overpowering, that’s not a con as such.

My experience:

I gently splash water on my face to wet it. Then I take a pea-sized amount  of the face wash and gently massage it on my face. A little goes a long way… Yes, you only require a pea sized amount of it.

It has such a creamy texture -feels like a shaving cream, in fact! Unlike the previous version, it doesn’t work up too much lather but rather feels like creamy foam stuck to your face.

When I rinsed it off,  my face feel squeaky clean but I got a bit of dry and stretchy feeling after that, which I didn’t like too much. And I have a combination to oily skin. So forget about dry skin, I think it’s not even suitable for normal skin.

I have been using it since last 2 weeks and as far I have noticed it doesn’t prevent pimples. These days I normally don’t get pimples but once in a while it does erupt. In fact, 1-2 pimples did erupt after using it. I wouldn’t say that this face wash caused it, but it didn’t do anything to prevent it also.

To be fair, this face wash does a good job of removing dirt, oil and dullness from my face and the fragrance does linger on the face for quite a bit. The face also glows for a while.

But that's all to it, nothing exceptional but not bad also!

Conclusion

New Patanjali Soundarya Face Wash isn’t a bad product. It does its job to a certain extent for oily to combination skin  but it’s not likely to be suitable for normal and dry skins. Overall it’s a good, cheap, drugstore product that’s free from parabens and SLS.
