This is my first ever review online, please excuse my mistakes and do let me know how I can improve.
Gone are the days when people used to wash their faces with soap. Now a days there are so many options to cleanse your face. I have always been against using soap on face as I felt it is too harsh for the skin. Hence I have always used face washes, cleansers, uptans etc. But sometime back when my cousins visited us, I discovered a new product that they were using. And their faces were literally glowing. I thought they must have been to parlour before coming here. But then they told me it was Facia that they were using, so I thought of giving it a try as all beauty addicts like us do. So here’s comes my first ever review after using it for over than 1 year:
What is Facia Facial Bar? A light orange colour herbal facial bar. It comes in a cute packaging & sits pretty in a soap case which comes along with it. You can see the saffron once you open the packet. It has the ingredients that ensure a healthy, glowing and beautiful fair skin, it helps reducing pimples, eliminating blemishes. It can be used by both the genders.
Ingredients: Kesar, Chandan, Lactate, Aloevera, Camphor, Olive, EDTA, Bar Base, Preservatives & Perfumes.
How to use it? Moisten face, work up a rich foamy lather & massage gently in circular motion for 1-2 minutes. Wash off & pat dry.
I use it after cleansing my face.
Rs.38/- for 25 gm
My experience with Facia: I have been using this since last year March. Though the how to use part on the packet advices to use it twice daily, I use it thrice alternately a week as I have other beauty regimen for the rest 4 days.
- The smell is divine!
- Once you open the packet you can actually see the saffron on the bar.
- It has helped me eliminating some (I did not have many) blemishes that I had.
- The face literally glows once you start using this. You can see the result in the next day (Facial, remember!)
- It is not at all dry though you must moisturize your skin after using this.
- Skin feels soft & fresh
- I have got several complements after using the bar (seriously guys)
- Though I never had much problem with my skin but it was dull, but after using Facia my skin is hydrated & feels soft & complexion has also improved.
- Suitable for our pockets (money wise!)
- Worth every penny
- It is easily available at a local store near you
I have not found any cons with this product as of yet.
If you have always thought of not ever using soap on face, I would suggest just use it once. If you have extremely dry skin then please check before buying. But for girls/boys with combo/oily skin- try it guys!

Hi Guys…This is entirely my personal experience.It has suited my skin but that does not mean it will others.I simply shared my personal experience.Perhaps I believe in giving a product atleast 10 days time.I’v written in my article that this product can not be used everyday as its a soap it may hurt the skin if used regularly.So guys…don’t think am being too generous…am simply loving the product…. 🙂 🙂

I have used it…but…it worked exactly as a soap…..I loved the smell, but that’s about it…..but Debasree….it works differently for different people.
Enoji….I have rated the product 😀
I have seen this sooooo many times on shelves but somehow NEVER got it!!!! :idk: :idk: :idk:
But sounds good Debasree..
It was a great first review.. Congrats!!! :yes: :yes:
And please do share ur skin regimen for other 4 days… :-)) :-))
Thanks a lot Mrunmayee. I’ll definately..Next post will be my daily skin care regimen
I got bored of soaps but the ingredients here are tempting me 😉
I Love Facia bar too…
I agree with all your pros , But i have 2 cons for –
1. one little con is that it leaves me skin a li’l tooo dry, which is okay for me, cuz i have really oily skin, so my lovely face is back to being normal (non-dry) in 30 mins thanks to all the oils in my skin 😛
2. It foams a lot, which makes you think what and how much foaming agents are in it. Since it foams a lot, it finished up tooo fast, in a week or two, its all gone.
I agree that you can see the saffron from outside, but i seriously doubt if it is REAL saffron cuz it doesn’t smell like it…
But still its a good product.
Smita!! Have you done MBA???? ?:-) ?:-) ?:-)
yah!!! how’d u know ?
you talking like these management guys!! :giggle: :giggle: :giggle: :giggle: :giggle: “We have this this this problem, but otherwise everything is fine” :snicker: :snicker: :snicker: :snicker:
Thank you for pointing that out, Ms. Cali Coaster, we’ll get back to you regarding this.
LOL sorry couldn’t help doing that…..but i didn’t know it was soo obvious 😛

Hey, I love you too Rati….girls…..I had called Rati too on the same day after I became overwhelmed with what had happened……
Me: Hello Rati…..
Rati: Hi Jomol….how are you?
Me: Rati, its an urgent matter I wanna talk to you about……I am really concerned for you thats why I called….rush to your house immediately.
Rati: No, I am making my own eyeshadow palette…not now….it will take me whole evening and I am having Baskin Robbins Double Delight (don’t know whether that flavour exists).
Me: Rati, rush to your home…urgent…..you can’t have Baskin Robbins, your loving hubby is having an affair with someone he met on igniter.com and he is calling that female home.
Rati: Oh dontcha worry….you take unnecessary tensions…nothing is going to happen.
Me: Rati go home.
Rati: Oho Jomol…you are very irritating….that is Sanjeev himself…..you know he loves himself so much…..he only registers himself as Seeta, Geeta, and Meeta on ignigher.com….and then himself comes dressed as Seeta, Geeta, and Meeta to our home……….
