St Botanica AO Anti Oxidant Boost Foaming Face Wash Review

 Hi MBT friends

How are you? Hope you are all doing well and safe! Last week was really stressful as my dad was hospitalized for the treatment of COVID. The conditions are really worse in each state so I request you all to stay safe. 

Face cleansing is one of the most important part of skincare routine. It’s not just grab a face wash and wash your face. You must know which cleanser suits your skin types so it won’t dry out or cause breakouts to your skin. Last month I ordered St Botanica AO Boost Foaming Face Wash. I have now dry skin but due to summer season, my nose was getting little bit oily. As this face wash is for all skin types, I thought of giving it a try. So here’s my honest review on St Botanica Anti Oxidant Boost Foaming Face Wash.

Price- ₹599 for 120ml BUY ONLINE 

St Botanica Anti Oxidant Foaming Face Wash comes sealed in a plastic wrapper to ensure that the product has not been opened or used. The actual product comes in a transparent, thick plastic pump dispenser bottle with a clear tight fitted pull off lid. The packaging is quite simplistic yet attractive and soothing. The liquid inside the bottle is pink in color and transforms into foam as soon as it is dispensed through pump dispenser mechanism. The bottle is quite sturdy and can be easily carried around in a bag. The smell of the cleanser is very mild and is noticeable only when you sniff it closely.

The texture of the cleanser is very soft, smooth and gentle. The pump dispenser is easy to use and the product is dispensed onto my hands without any effort. I just need one pump for my whole face and neck. It spreads easily and the foam feels gentle and soft on my skin. It produces gentle lather to ensure that my skin is cleansed thoroughly. It contains rich antioxidants that removes excess skin dulling cells, pollutants and oxidised substances. It also contains botanical extracts, retinal, vitamin c and vitamin e. It does cleanses my skin effectively without leaving oily feeling behind. Though I don’t know how retinol and vitamin c play in this face wash but it really cleanses my skin effectively. It doesn't cause any tingling sensation to my skin. 

My skin feels clean, clean and squeaky clean. It removes all dirt and grime off my face. It does remove non waterproof makeup but fails to remove heavy and waterproof makeup properly. I does not give glow to my skin. My skin just looks normal after washing my face. I have dry, combination skin but it does not dry out or make it oily so yes it can be used by all skin types especially in this hot season. I won’t recommend this face wash for dry skin in winter season as it may dry out your skin. The foaming face wash does not break out my skin so it safe for acne prone skin as well.

PROS:

• Foams very well. Very easy to use.
• The foam feels so soft on the skin.
• Cleanses skin very effectively.
• Mild scent.
• Suits all skin types.
• Does not dry out the skin.
• Travel friendly packaging.
• No sulphates and parabens.
• Contains lots of botanical extracts.
• Lightens blemishes with regular usage.

CONS:

• Pricey for a face wash.
• I haven’t noticed glow in my skin whilst using it.

Overall Thoughts:

St Botanica Anti Oxidant Foaming Face Wash is just like other regular face wash that does the job of cleansing the skin effectively. It suits my dry combination skin really well. I didn’t find this face wash enticing and would not repurchase it. It’s just a decent face wash that you can give a try!

My Tips-

1. Use it twice a day.
2. A pump or 2 is enough for face and neck. Don’t use much as it may dry out the skin.
3. If you have makeup on then make sure you remove it with a makeup remover first and then was your face with this face wash.
