Many people still like a product which gives skin lightening effects, I however do not support any such notion. Lightening or brightening of acne marks and acne scars is something I can understand. Today I am going to post a review of one such product which claims to lighten acne marks and scars.
Let’s see the Ethiglo Face Wash Review and how it is backed by the ingredients which help in lightening the acne marks.
Skincare Science has advanced over a period of time with the innovation of chemical exfoliation via AHA, BHA and other acids. With the help of these exfoliating acids, it is not very difficult to reduce or fade acne marks or scars within a certain period. Let us see which AHA, BHA ingredients Ethiglo face wash has.

Ingredient-Benefits of Ethilgo Face Wash
Kojic acid – Kojic acid is an antioxidant and skin brightening agent
Vitamin C – Vitamin C boosts the skin’s own collagen production and fades pigmentation and brown spots. Sucscreen is a must while using this ingredient in any product.
Liquorice – a skin brightening agent
Nicotinamide – fades brown spots alone or in combination with amino sugar, acetyl glucosamine
Glycolic Acid – It gently exfoliates the dead skin cells to reveal newer, fresher, smoother skin and fade brown spots caused by sun damage or PIH. Don’t forget to use your sunscreen
Lactic Acid – It has same benefits as Glycolic Acid along with skin hydrating properties
Salicylic Acid – effective for treating blackheads and acne
Vitamin E – has antioxidant properties and works as an emollient
Glycerin – works as a humectant
D-Panthenaol – Its main job in skincare products is to moisturise the skin. It’s a humectant meaning that it can help the skin to attract water and then hold onto it.
Directions for using Ethiglo Face Wash
Take a small amount of the face wash with a little water on to your palm. Work up lather and gently massage on your wet face and neck with a circular motion. Rinse off with clear water and pat your face dry. For best results use twice or thrice a day regularly. Looking at the ingredients list it is a must to use sunscreen during the day time while using this product.
Price, Shelf life and Availability of Ethiglo Face Wash
499 INR for 200ml with a shelf life of 3 years. Available on Amazon
Packaging, Texture and Fragrance
I loved the super white tube packaging with a silver wording of the name. The packaging size is small and quite travel friendly to fit a handbag. Now coming to the product fragrance, consistency and colour, the consistency is frothy like a shaving cream and colour is similar with a shiny sheen of the face wash. The face wash is exactly like a shaving cream in appearance as well as consistency (excuse me for the comparison). The consistency is neither runny nor thick. The face wash contains very tiny pink granules. The density of the granules is moderate.
My experience with Ethilgo Face Wash
Now the efficiency part, the face wash foams quite well and the quantity required is very less. The foam is frothy (like a shaving cream) and gets washed off easily. The face wash contains Liquorice and the effects are quite evident in just one use. The face wash makes the skin super clean without drying it. It gives a subtle glow and freshness to the skin which lasts for around 2-3 hours. The face wash does its job quite well and helps in curing the dark spots left by acne.
I would also like to mention that it takes time to show effects on darker shades of acne scars. However I am yet to see any effects on the pigmentation I have below my lower lip. However I don’t expect overnight effects especially by a face wash which we put on skin for just less than one minute.
But according to the amount of time we put the face wash on the skin, it shows great effects with respect to that. I would prefer this face wash as a super cleansing agent with added benefit of fading the scars over a period of time. As a thumb rule to get maximum benefits from any face wash one should use or keep on face for 60 seconds. This will definitely be beneficial in case of Ethiglo Face Wash as it contains many AHAs means exfoliating agents.
