Pond’s Pimple Clear White Multi-Action Facial Wash Review

This Ponds pimple clear face wash is one of my most favourite face washes although it contains comedogenic ingredients. It has helped me with my pimple outbreaks and it does control them. I really don't know how :-/ :-/ But anyways, I am going to review this Ponds face wash for you named Pond’s Pimple Clear White Multi-Action Facial Wash...

Packaging- The Ponds White Pimple off face wash comes in a tube form with the cap being not-so-tight but the packaging is sleek and beautiful. The cap could have been tighter but at-least all the product details and ingredients have properly been mentioned! :)

Color, consistency, fragrance- The facial wash is kind of light green in colour with dark green mild exfoliating beads in it. It is slightly thick in consistency and smells herbal but slightly chemical-y and a very very little bit like detergent. But, anyways, the fragrance is mild enough not to irritate sensitive noses. Overall,  the colour, consistency and fragrance can score a 4/5 :)

My Take On Pond’s Pimple Clear White Multi-Action Facial Wash-

PROS-

1) Very affordable
2) Little goes a long way
3) Very easily available
4) Exfoliates the skin mildly
5) Did help in controlling my pimples
6) Removes all oil and dirt from the skin
7) Easy to rinse off
8) Never broke me out
9) Brightens the skin
10) Tightens the pores

CONS-

1) Only for oily skin. Excessively dries out the skin

2) Contains comedogenic ingredients- Glyceryl Stearate, which is mildly comedogenic, Lauric Acid that is highly comedogenic and Myristic Acid which is highly comedogenic (Although it did not break me out and rather controlled my acne)
3) Did not do anything for my blackheads
4) Cap should be made sturdier 

Alternative find- I found that the ponds pimple clear white and the Fair and Lovely Pimple Off Fairness On Face Wash have almost the same ingredients and both work exactly in the same way, the fragrance is same and have the same consistency and I just assume that they put the fair and lovely face wash in a ponds tube :P

Final Verdict- Overall, the Ponds pimple clear face wash brightens the skin, controls oil, actually controls pimples and makes my skin a bit smooth due to the mild exfoliating particles. I like it as I have very oily skin but if you have dry or normal or combination skin then just stay away from this because this excessively dries out the skin. I am also afraid about the long term effects of this face wash on my skin as it contains too many chemicals...Anyways, as on now, I am happy with it and might repurchase this :) A good face wash for acne prone, very oil skin ^_^

Rating- 4.75/5
