I am not a person who is usually confused about stuffs; especially about products. Few uses and am usually quite clear about how I feel about those. However, one product has got me stumped for many weeks and as I write this review, am still sitting on the fence on whether I like it or not. I am talking about a product called ubtan face wash from mamearth. Let’s delve deep into why so much confusion.
Confusion 1 Mamaearth happens to be one of my favorite skincare brands. I have tried their hair masks, face masks and serums. I have nothing to complain from any of their products. Then why come up with such a product that baffles the mind completely? Was it just to add a product in its ambit? Just for that sake? What is the purpose of the product? Why I am asking the last question, you may wonder. To understand that let’s move on to the next confusion. Confusion 2 The product is called ubtan face wash. That’s bit of an oxymoron in the first place. If you look up the meaning for both of these, you will come across something like this. A face wash is supposed to help you cleanse off dirt, oil and gunk from your face. Whereas a ubtan is supposed to be act like a mask which you put on your skin, leave for some time to work its wonders and then rinse off. So, the name itself is kind of misleading what is the purpose; a wash or a mask. Confusion 3 Now when I received the product, it appeared like a face wash from the exterior; after all, the name says so too. When I open the tube and try to squeeze out the liquid, a thick yellowish product came out in spurts, which is never the structure of a face wash. Even with the most moisturizing face washes this can never be the structure. So, my first thought was this is a mask that I need to apply and leave on. But when I added water to it, the structure of the product started melting slowly creating a medium lather. So I apply it on my face and work it in. Confusion 4 Then comes another weird thing. It is not just an ubtan type face wash, but it has small scrub particles which exfoliates your skin. This was more than what I had bargained for. I wanted a simple face wash, which has natural elements of turmeric and saffron. These add natural brightness to the face and that is precisely what I was looking for and not being this confusion cocktail of an ubtan, face wash and scrub all in one. However, after I washed my skin, it felt great. It felt rejuvenating, fresh, clean and bright; everything what I was looking for. In addition, it removed tan a bit as well, just as it claimed. So, that part at least serves the purpose as mentioned on the packaging. Final Thoughts So, this works on the skin for sure, but what category of product this is, is completely uncertain. Even the product inside is so thick that it should have been packaged in a tub rather than a tube. The packaging is just not justified for a product like this. Easily available at Nykaa, Purplle, Amazon, Flipkart and mamaearth.in, if you want to try this product you can go ahead. I can hardly place a consolidated feeling on this product as it does its job but in a weird and unexpected way. Keeping aside every good aspect mamaearth stands for like, paraben and sulfate free products and without artificial fragrance, I don’t understand the purpose of this product still. I think they could have launched three separate products in their befitting packaging, instead of cramming up everything in one. |
