• Personal Experience : I have been using  this product continuously for the last 1 month and seen that it helps calm my acne                                                
• It  removes excess oil but does not dry out my skin completely.
• It does wipe out dirt and impurities and helps keep the face fresh, smooth and clean as it claims . It helps eliminates dullness from the skin. The effect lasts for around 2-3 hours. 
• A small amount is enough to clean the face.
• Gives a cooling effect after cleansing the face with this face wash .

Rating :4/ 5  (1 point reduced only for the chemicals included but as I mentioned these are not harmful chemicals. Also, this is not a completely natural product) . My skin did not break out when I used this face wash. 

I would keep buying this product and  would recommended to anyone as it is suitable for all skin types and I had a great experience overall, using this product.
