Ahaglow Face Wash: Hit or Miss?

 

Glycolic acid-based products work well for my oily and acne-prone skin. I used Ahaglow face wash a long time ago, about 3 years ago.

At that time I didn't know much about AHA and BHA based cleansers and treated toner like a regular. There's more to this facial toner though! Read on!

Ahaglo face wash brand claims

Ahaglow Face Wash rejuvenates dry, dull skin while keeping it soft and hydrated. It deeply cleanses the skin with its natural foaming ingredients and helps in improving the texture of the skin. The gel is made from over 80% purified water and packed with natural, plant-based surfactants that help hydrate the skin. Enriched with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, it refreshes and rejuvenates the skin.

·        It rejuvenates the skin by promoting the shedding of old and dead skin cells.

·        Reduces the number of superficial wrinkles

·        Improves skin tone and texture.

·        Loosen and clean pores.

Ingredients of Ahaglow Facial Soap

Purified water, acrylate copolymer, sodium laureth sulfate, aloe vera, polysorbate 80, sodium cocoyl, apple amino acid, decyl glucoside, colored capsule, glycosylic acid, phenoxyethanol, fragrance, vitamin E acetate and potassium hydroxide.

Packaging, texture and consistency

The toner comes in a yellow plastic tube with a flip-top cap, though the toner is clear in colour. It has a liquid consistency and consists of multi-colored milk capsules. Millicapsules are very soft and can be easily crushed during use and are not made of plastic. The texture of the toner is smooth, sticky and runny. While not sticky as such, proper care should be taken while using it. The facial tonic smells pleasant of cologne, which does not bother me at all. The smell is not permanent at all.

How to use Ahaglow Facial Toner?

Wet the face with clean water. Squeeze out a coin-sized amount of Ahaglow Facelift. Crush the capsule contained in the face wash gel. Coat the tonic into your palms, then gently massage your face in circular motions. Wash off with clean water and pat the face dry. Use as tolerated by your skin for best results.

My Experience with Ahaglow Facial Toner

Ahaglow Face Wash is glycolic acid based and is designed to be used as tolerated by your skin. I have used the toner daily, weekly and sparingly and will write my review accordingly. Facial toner lathers very well and leaves enough lather. Contains 1% Glycolic Acid, SLS, Aloe Vera and Vitamin E along with other ingredients.

It exfoliates the facial skin in a single application, leaving it quite soft and hydrated. I have noticed a reduction in my minor cystic acne with 2-3 use of face wash daily. The toner also reduces those whiteheads that can be felt to the touch, although it does not reduce them beyond the surface of the skin. In a sense, it does not reduce the appearance of pores or blackheads. Ahaglow face wash also lasts longer. A 50 gm tube can easily last for more than 2 months though it depends on how many times you use it in a week.

Along with the scrub, Ahaglow Facial Wash provides instant fairness without drying out the skin. The basic catch here is that since the skin does not dry out, it is more likely to irritate the skin. Also note that facial cleansers will be somewhat flaky and the actual effect also depends on the type of moisturizer you use. Every time I use oil free moisturizer my face feels great and acne starts to reduce. Whenever I use other moisturizers that are not oil free, I can notice an increase in pimples on my nose and the surrounding area which was previously untouched.

As far as usage is concerned, initially I was not used to the right way to use it. I did not apply toner in my palms, but tried to make a lather on my face myself. It irritated my skin at times and I had some red spots on my skin. I have been using the toner for almost a month or so now.

I really played around and considered a few things while using face wash to avoid skin irritation.

Ahglow Facial Toner Precautions

·        Make sure to apply the toner in the palms of your hands and not directly on the skin.

·        Simply wipe on the toner and do not rub into any areas.

·        Do not use more than required

·        Don't follow the 1-minute rule with this facelift. Just 20 seconds is enough.

·        Do not massage it into hard areas of whiteheads and blackheads.

·        Apply foaming toner to your face (like ice skating :D)

·        Be as gentle and beautiful as possible when using toner

·        Do not use it twice a day. Use twice a week in the beginning and then see how it goes

·        Vitamin C (a completely different product) and any AHAs should not be mixed. Vitamin C in the morning and glycolic acid in the afternoon.

·        Retinoids and glycolic acid should not be used at the same time. This can cause excessive peeling and the skin may become irritated with redness or red bumps.

·        Contact your doctor if you are breastfeeding or pregnant.

  The deadly virus of 2020 Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment.  Older people and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illnesses. The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).
