L'oreal Hydrafresh Instant Freshness Foaming Cream (Normal- Dry Skin ) Review

My mom got a few products from the L'oreal Hydrafresh range last year as a gift and obviously all the goodies went to my stash ! Since, I have a combination to dry skin the hydrafresh range for normal-dry skin suited me well . I have reviewed their All Day Hydration supply aqua cream at IMBB last year (go to # 11 HERE)




What L'oreal says about the face wash-

Delicately fragranced, the Hydrafresh Foaming Cream leaves your skin feeling instantly refreshed.
Gently cleanses the skin everyday: Instantly removes make-up, cleanses skin thoroughly and eliminates all impurities for an impeccably clean skin.

Result-Skin feels soft, supple and perfectly cleansed
Application- This innovative soft and rich creamy texture lathers abundantly in contact with water, rinses off easily and leaves your skin soft and comfortable.



Price- 249 INR for 100ml

Sadly, since everything written on the packaging is in Chinese I could not understand any of it! I searched a lot for proper information but didn't get them anywhere :( Please let me know if you can find them !


Ingrdient List- 


However, I got some information on what goes into it here

Water,Solvent,Myristic acid,Moisturizer,Palmitic Acid,Stearic Acid,Disodium oleamido PEG-2 sulfosuccinate,Potassium Hydroxide,Lauric Acid,Corn Germ Oil,PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate,Cocamide MEA,
Glycerin,
Fragrance,Panthenol,Phenoxyethanol,Disodium EDTA,
Cetyl hydroxyethylcellulose,
Butylparaben,
Propylparaben,Triclosan,Xanthan Gum,BHT,
Polyquaternium-7 Capryloyl Salicylic Acid



What I Liked about L'oral Hydrafresh Instant freshness foaming cream(Normal-Dry skin)-

  • Mild face wash but cleans well, even removes minimum makeup.
  • Does not make skin overtly dry or stretchy
  • Has a mild ,lovely fragrance.
  • Did not at all cause any breakouts or irritation
  • Lathers well and you need a little of the product
  • travel friendly packaging with a flip flop cap
  • Affordable and available through L'oreal counters and online shopping sites



What I didn't Like about L'oreal hydrafresh Instant freshness foaming cream(Normal-Dry skin)-

  • You feel the need to follow up with a light moisturizer after washing your face with it.Fails to take total care of severe dry skin
  • Stings if gets into eyes
  • Contains parabens as preservatives
  • L'oreal does animal testing
My Rating- 3.5/5

Final Verdict- As a mild cleanser and which does not make my skin more dry I like this, But for the price, this might not be for all.

  11. Hey Sukanya,

    I just have a doubt. I saw a review in Link Within widget here and clicked to see it. Surprisingly it opened up to IMBB page and the review was mine at IMBB !!! Though I don't have any problem with this, just wanted to let you know. Are you aware of this? I thought the link within just displays the reviews that we put in our blog :|

  12. hi Aarthi, this is the first time am seeing this problem n only with this post.i don't have any cluw why, cause this is totally unintentional. I posted the issue on a facebook group and friends there said i should remove the linkwithin and then again place it. I did the same, still for this post ..IMBB posts are being shown and am really surprised at this whimsicalness :'(
