Packaging, Texture and Fragrance
The product is housed in a light pink squeeze tube packaging. The squeezable tube is plastic and has a white flip top cap. Packaging is basic, sturdy and travel friendly. The face wash has a gel consistency that has a baby pink tinge. The face wash has a pleasant fragrance of watermelon coupled with cucumber that is very faint and non bothering. The texture of the face wash is a little runny. It lathers up easily even in hard water. You will need just a pea sized amount to use in the evening routine.
My experience with Dot and Key Watermelon Face Wash
The face wash sufficiently cleanses the skin but doesn’t make it squeaky clean. It leaves the skin bright and plump with every use. In spite of having Vitamin C as an ingredient it doesn’t irritate the skin. The brightening effect doesn’t last long, but the hydrating effect does last for quite a good time. The face wash is more of a hydrating one rather than cleansing one.
Even if I use this face wash thrice per day, I couldn’t notice any zits due to dehydration. The face wash doesn’t dry out the skin or make it tight even when used with lukewarm or little hot water. The hydrating effect of it is real and very much evident.
Whenever I use this face wash I feel as though it doesn’t cleanse my oily t-zone so I just massage it a little bit more than the rest of the face. I would say this face wash is more suitable for dry, normal and combination skin types rather than oily skin.
Due to the hydrating properties of the face wash, it is best used as a morning cleanser or as a second step in the double cleansing routine. I find the fragrance very pleasing to the senses and kind of sweet for anyone’s liking. It is neither bothering or lingering as such nor does it feel artificial in any sense. It feels as if fresh watermelon or cucumber is being cut.
If you are looking for a face wash to include in your evening routine to remove the sunscreen or before calling it a day then this is not it. Dot and Key Watermelon Face Wash is more suitable as a morning cleanser and as a second cleanser in double cleansing.

Dot and Key Watermelon Face Wash Review
The face wash cleanses, brightens and hydrates the skin with each use. However, it doesn’t work much on whiteheads or leaves the skin squeaky clean. The face wash brightens the skin considerably and has a sweet and mild watermelon fragrance which makes the experience worth it. Dot and Key Watermelon Face Wash is more suitable as a morning cleanser and/or as a second cleanser in double cleansing. It will work good for dry, normal and sensitive skin types rather than oily, acne prone skin type. Grab it at a discount and you won’t regret using the face wash.
