My Experience with Biotique Almond Oil Cleanser

I bought this last winter to combat my extremely dry and rough skin! I have used Biotique Orange and Parsley and loved it very much for its true citrusy fragrance and awesome exfoliation. :inlove: So after my pleasant experience with the orange & parsley soap I wanted to try some other soap from Biotique range for my dry skin. I quite loved its description mentioned in the cover (very impressive indeed) :woot: and also the ingredients list. It contains several kinds of oil which would be beneficial for moisturizing. Its recommended by doctors too. :thumbsup: When I first used it, I noticed it doesn’t lather much on its own like the orange and parsley soap. It lathers only when I rub with a bathing loofa on my skin after applying. After bath, my skin remains moisturized and healthy for a long time. I feel as if I have applied some moisturizer or massaged oil on skin. So many times after using it, I skip oil massage too. I would love to tell that this is also beneficial for rashes and mosquito bite areas, which I noticed in my case. It leaves my skin soft and hydrated. But it’s a huge bar of soap, my fingers are quite small so I couldn’t hold it at all and thats why I had to slice this soap bar into two pieces. I would buy this every winter for that extra moisture that my skin needs badly.

Pros of Biotique Almond Cleanser

-It’s recommended by doctors for sensitive skin.
-Keeps my skin hydrated.
-My skin feels very soft and healthy. :makeup:
-I can skip a body moisturizer during normal days. :haanji:
-Very useful for rashes and other infections.
-It’s a must have for dry skin people. :thumbsup:
-Contains no harsh additives, dyes or hardening agents.
-Its hypoallergenic and clinically tested.
-It makes skin clean and healthy looking.
-It relieves skin from ringworm, scabies and dermatitis infection with regular use.
-It contains oils of castor, neem, turmeric, almond and coconut with glycerin.
-It has got very subtle sweet fragrance.
-Price is damn reasonable for this huge bar of soap.
-Available at all cosmetic stores stocking Biotique products.
-It’s a transparent bar with no color.
-As I split the soap bar so it lasted me nearly two months, may be 50 days I think.
-Packaging is attractive and very refreshing.

Cons of Biotique Almond Oil Cleanser

-Fragrance doesn’t linger for a long time.
-It doesn’t lather on its own, lathers well when used with a loofa.
-I feel the Biotique Orange & Parsley soap is more refreshing than this one.
-I don’t like using it during summers.
-Very oily skinned people may not like this.
-It’s a hige bar and I had to slice it into two. icon biggrin Biotique Almond Oil Cleanser Review

hi taps,

nice review… i have used it many times during winters and all the properties you have mentioned and correct. once i had this strange dry itchy rash on my wrist… and i used this soap, the rash was 95% cured in 2 days!
about the orange and parsley soap, dear, these are two different soaps actually. orange peel soap ( exfoliating. love it) and basil and parsley soap. ( little less moisturing than almond one). try that also, good one again.
