My Experience with L’oreal Hydrafresh Gel Foam:
While I have found my HG toner and face cream, I am still looking for “the face wash” that would satisfy me completely. My search is still on and the latest purchase is this L’Oreal hydra fresh face wash meant for combination-oily skin.
The face wash comes in a clear gel formula, slightly green-ish in colour, with no beads or particles. I take a little less than a coin-sized amount for each wash. It’s a gel formula which turns into foam when it comes in contact with water. It lathers lightly and has this really amazing, pleasant, refreshing fragrance which I love. I guess its a mix of fruity/citrus. The fragrance lasts for a minute or so.
One thing which has impressed me about this face wash is that it makes my face extremely soft and supple. My skin is more on the combination side in winters and when I use this, there is no stretchy feel. It cleans my face thoroughly and leaves behind no trace of oil/dirt. I also see a slight glow. It removes my routine makeup, but I feel it is not sufficient enough for removing heavy makeup.
Overall, I find this face wash nice. I believe this would make a good face wash for you if you have combination-oily skin, but no skin issues like acne.
Pros of L’oreal Hydrafresh Gel Foam:
- Removes oil, dirt, grime, impurities well.
- Makes my face super soft and supple after washing.
- Gives a fresh feeling.
- Mild, pleasant, refreshing fragrance which I like
- Does not give any stretchy feel.
- Good packaging.
- L’Oreal products are easily available.
Cons of L’oreal Hydrafresh Gel Foam:
- Does not remove completely heavy makeup.
- Slightly expensive for the 100 ml quantity you get.
- Not meant for dry skin.
- Contains parabens

Clinique (type 2) clarifying is my HG toner toooooo but vichy did not behave well with my skin…currently dealing with pimples…. but TBS Tea tree face mask is taking them to task….hope to see some light before the new years party …… but some how I felt this toner has oodles of alcohol in it….not sure if you feel the same way.
Akhila, this toner does have alcohol in it.. however Clinique has launched its new formulations which they claim has less amt of alcohol….

Wanted to ask u abt ur HG toner & Cream. But u have answered the question in the previous comments :victory2:
I have to try this face wash as I too have combination skin..
I hope u like it Richa :victory2: :victory2: :victory2:
Nupur – I bought that Biotique cleanser becos of that wonderful review from you :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: and it is suiting me great and now you go ahead and review this one and this also sounds good..not fair..cant confuse us like this :duel: :duel: :duel: :duel: :duel: :duel: :duel: :duel: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: i am sticking to Biotique :smug: :smug:
:lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:
Aruna, use I use dis during the day/morning, n that one for night time cleansing. O:) O:) O:) O:)
I rest my case O:) O:) O:)
offfffo…two two cleansers now :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: tum log mujhe kangaal kar doge. :announce: :announce: .well not that you guys are putting a gun to my head or anything.. 😥
hhhehe… :vampire: :vampire:
noh aruna, dat creamy cleanser is just for the winters ya, in summers toh i use one face wash only :victory2: :victory2: :victory2: :victory2:
ok wait..lets start at the beginning now..face wash not equal to cleanser??? ?:) face wash milder, cleanser thicker?
:toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin:
Face wash is a cleanser only Aruna, but a cleansing milk is different naa, it does not foam, is creamier. In winters I use a cleansing milk like the Biotique one I reviewed/ the H2O sea results one “for night time only” instead of my normal face wash, just bcoz, thy r creamy n they do add some moisture to ur skin :victory2: :victory2: :victory2:
hey thanks Nupur, many of my doubts are now clear….but one thing I wanted to ask you…..you review atleast one prod per day….which also means you have been using that prod for atleast two or three weeks……you having a sensitive combi skin….will this not effect your skin’s ph and how do you really handle that ???? :waaa: :waaa: :waaa: :waaa: :waaa: :waaa:
Akhila, i stick to my toner and moisturiser and do not experiment with them a lot. its just the face wash i keep changing over time. Also, I always make sure than i buy good quality skin care . Along with all this, I do use some home remedies like applying curd on the face, besan+milk pack etc and take supplements like vitamin E, c and A .
And if i see that my skin is not in good cndition, i stop using everything and start using the products my derma has prescribed me for a week to bring back my skin to normal.
got it… :pompom: :pompom: :pompom: thanks for your patience in explaining..feel like a dud sometimes..a year atleast on IMBB and now am asking what si the difference bet a face wash and cleanser.. :ghost2: :ghost2: :ghost2:
Glad to be of some help Aruna O:) O:) O:)
