Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
Summer or very congested skin is where this cleanser shines, and the gurus found that it really decongests while still feeling gentle. Because it works more like a clay mask than an everyday wash, they suggest saving it for occasional use, since daily use may be too strong and dry skin out. Others are more mixed, admitting that a fondness for the Sanskrit name may colour their view.
What they liked
- Decongestant without stripping skin
- Gentle enough to use as a second cleanser
- Plant-based surfactants from Ayurvedic principles
What they flagged
- Too strong for daily use, needs spacing out
- Formula has changed since earlier versions
