My View About Lakme Perfect Radiance Fairness Face Wash
It was one among the 5 face washes I won in the contest. Because of the cute packaging and pleasant smell I decided to try it first. The pack comes in a lovely pink and opaque tube with silver printed letters and a sacred lotus symbol in it. It has a flip cap which makes it easier to use and travel friendly, as it is firm and good. The colour of the face wash is milkish light pink and the consistency is cream like, very smooth and soft. It is not runny at all, thick enough for a face wash. The very first time I squeezed the face wash in my hand, I smelt it and fell in love with the smell. It is very true that it has a mild lotus smell and totally the smell is very flowery which no one will hate. 
     As it is creamy, I thought that it might make my skin look greasy or oily but it never does that. I cleansed my face without any slippery feel and oiliness.. Wait..!! The good news is that it doesn't dry my skin too :) It was really a miracle, and I am in love with this perfect radiance face wash from Lakme. It is really suitable for all skin types, especially in winter. If your skin is super oily, then avoid it in summers. Mistakenly, I squeezed huge quantity at the first use, it lathers very much. The foam is very creamy, that you would love to wash your face often. It also washes out easily without any need of much water. A very little amount is enough to cleanse your face and neck. After washing my face, it instantly brings out the brightness and my skin felt softer too. Within 7 days of usage, it evened out my skin a bit and also helped in fading scars. This is going to be my all time favorite face wash hereafter! Worth every squeeze :P

PROS
  1. Affordable for the good worth
  2. A very little amount is enough to wash entire face and neck, so it lasts longer.
  3. Mild and Lovely flower like fragrance which makes face feel fresh.
  4. It lathers very much and did the cleansing work perfectly without leaving any residue or oiliness.
  5. It doesn't dry out the skin even in winters, makes skin softer with regular use.
  6. Instantly brightens skin without any slippery feel.
  7. Travel friendly, as it comes with a firm flip model cap.

CONS
I don't like to list out any cons for this awesome product, but few odd things I felt are..
  1. Not suitable for super oily skins in summers.
  2. If the tube is not opaque, it would have been easier in finding how much is felt in the tube.
My Rating: 5/5 (Yippee... No minus. It does what it claims)
My Recommendation: Shop it for sure. I am saying from my experience, worth every wash. It became my HG face wash within a month :)
Will I repurchase it: Sure. Every time!
