Final Verdict:
I bought this face wash when I was not on any acne treatments few months back and when Glomed(5% Glycolic acid)was not easily available.It contains 6% Glycolic acid.It is a good face wash for Melasma/Hyper-pigmentation skin problems/Acne blemishes.
Two very important usage instructions:
1) Please do not use with strong acne treatments.
2) It is advisable to use the face wash once a day since it is a very strong face wash otherwise it could cause more dryness.
One thing I really disliked is the fragrance,its a really turn-off
!Honestly I am bit disappointed here since most Curatio products have pleasant fragrance and of good quality.
If I had to choose between Glomed and Melawash,I would go for Glomed because it has liquorce extracts,aloe vera and pro-vitamin B along with 5%Glycolic acid and smells good too
