Nowadays, regular soaps are getting replaced by aromatic body washes and luxury shower gels. Most of the women are preferring these over their typical beauty bars and I’m also not out of this loop. I love to try body washes from different brands. So, when I was sent this Lux White Impress Body Wash by a marketing portal called SocialNoise, I couldn’t wait to give it a try. Here is how this product has worked for me:

Packaging:
The packaging of Lux White Impress Body Wash is extremely feminine and I fell in love with it immediately when I got it. The bottle comes in a unique cardboard carton with a transparent plastic front (not shown in the images). The container of the product is basically a milky white curvaceous bottle with beautiful graphics and all necessary information printed on it. The sleek and unique shape of the bottle is a trademark design of the ‘White Impress’ range by Lux and is very much womanly by appearance. There is a matte golden flip cap on the top of the bottle, which is extremely tight and makes the sturdy bottle a leakage-proof one. The overall packaging is quite attractive and absolutely travel-friendly. Oh yes! the product came with a very pretty white loofah, which was basically a ‘bonus’ and I loved it so much!

My Take on Lux White Impress Body Wash:
The body wash is pearly white in color and thick creamy in consistency just like many other similar products. But what make it different from others are those dark pink and purple microbeads floating all over. The product also has very small silver and golden balls in it, which gives the liquid a shiny appearance. The fragrance of the body wash is just awesome! It is a rich floral aroma that is very refreshing and soothing.
I’ve been using this body wash since last three and half months and there is not much product left inside now. The first thing that I noticed about it is that a very little amount is required for each application. Hence, a small bottle goes a long way. Though it doesn’t create foam when used alone, applying it with a loofah can give wonderful lather. The cleansing capacity of this product is quite well. But the microbeads do not work up to the claim. You should not expect significant exfoliating effect from this. The amazing fragrance also does not last long. It fades away within almost 30 to 45 minutes minutes after using. However, the whitening claim of the product is absolutely lame. Even after using so many months, I’ve not seen any changes in my skin tone.

As a body wash, it is really a very good option, I must say. But if you want to purchase it for its skin whitening claim, do skip it.
