Review: L'oreal White Perfect Re-lightening Whitening Facial Foam & Garnier Light Fairness Face Wash

Let me start off by letting you know that I do not fall in that category of people who have a problem with their complexion. I believe that beauty is not a reflection of one's skin color; it depends on various traits- the 2 most important being the 'features' that you have been blessed with and also the way you 'carry' yourself. Both of these are interdependent & complimentary. Therefore, it is important that we respect and take care of ourselves :)

Having said that, let me also add that before using the products listed in the title I had never in my life used any sort of lightening potions/concoctions/creams etc! 

Also, as you guys know, I have been busy with studies  because of which I have taken time off work and as such this time when I ran out of face-wash I was not really hesitant in using up these two products which have been sitting in my medicine closet for a while!

Without further ado, let's quickly jump into the review and here's how the two products look like

On to what the company claims:

Garnier: Click on image to enlarge

Loreal: Click on image to enlarge

PRICE:

As I have mentioned I have had mine for a long time and dont remember the price, but for your convenience I checked on flipkart and Loreal costs 315INR whereas Garnier costs 125INR (both for 100g of product).

INGREDIENTS:

Garnier

L'oreal

Both are made up of the same ingredients ( More or Less) & I am not in a position to interpret the ingredients for you. However, both of these have been manufactured at the same plant of L'oreal India Pvt. Ltd. situated at PUNE!

MY TAKE:

(I used up L'oreal White Perfect Re-lightening Whitening Facial Foam before I started using Garnier Light Face Wash.)

1. Are these effective?

    Yes, both of these perform as per their claim. However, I feel Loreal is more effective than Garnier in terms of instantly visible effects in a single wash. It cleanses the face more thoroughly.

2.Consistency:

    Both of them have a creamy consistency and have a peculiar shine to them which I do not really appreciate because whenever I see that shine in products, its as if they are screaming "CHEMICALS" in my face! Although, L'oreal doesnt have too much of that chemical effect, Garnier does.

3. Usage?

        I used them both with my pink baby, reviewed here-. My pore cleansing facial pad . Whereas, L'oreal suits my super-duper oily skin and cleans the excess oil thoroughly without drying my skin, Garnier stretches my skin a bit (which is shocking)!. You need a tad bit of each to really foam up your face!

4. Any additional facts?

       Recently I discovered that I am allergic to lemon, as such I would say that it can be a lil tricky to buy a product like garnier which has added essence because many a times you might be allergic to such things. Loreal claims to have only Melano-blocks  (Trade Mark rights)  & Vitamin C.

Overall:

Even though L'oreal is bit on the expensive side, I would still go ahead and buy it because it is unlike any other face wash that I have tried. It definitely adds a glow to the face by thoroughly deep cleaning your pores.

I will not be buying Garnier, not only because I'm allergic to lemon, but also because it feels more synthetic, stretches my skin and is not really all that effective!
