Description

Olivia Moisture Balance Face Wash addresses one of the most misunderstood yet widespread skin concerns in India — disrupted moisture-oil balance. Many people assume their skin is oily when it is actually dehydrated. When skin lacks water (hydration), it overproduces sebum as a compensatory mechanism — creating that confusing combination of oily surface and dry, tight feeling underneath.
 
 This face wash solves the problem at its source using a precision trio of actives: aloe vera vera replenishes the water content of the skin during cleansing; licorice extract (glycyrrhizin and glabridin) gently inhibits melanin production to address the mild pigmentation and dark spots that often accompany dehydrated skin; and cinnamon extract provides mild antimicrobial protection without the harshness of chemical antibacterial agents.
 
 The result after every wash is skin that feels genuinely balanced — neither dry and tight, nor oily and shiny. Suitable for all skin types, but especially transformative for combination and dehydrated skin types that have struggled to find a cleanser that addresses both hydration and tone simultaneously.
 
 Olivia Beauty has been formulating herbal actives for Indian families since 1987. This face wash reflects that legacy: clean, effective, affordable skincare rooted in natural science.

Benefits
  • Aloe vera deeply hydrates the skin during the cleansing process, preventing post-wash dryness and tightness
  • Licorice root extract (glabridin) gently brightens dark spots and evens uneven skin tone with consistent use
  • Cinnamon extract provides mild antimicrobial action to keep skin surface clean and prevent surface bacterial buildup
  • Restores the skin's moisture-sebum balance — addresses the root cause of dehydrated-yet-oily skin
  • Soothes redness and mild irritation caused by pollution, hard water, and environmental stress
  • pH-balanced formulation (5.5–6.5) — compatible with the skin's natural acid mantle
  • Suitable for all skin types, especially combination, dehydrated, and mildly pigmented skin
  • Free from sulphates, parabens, and artificial dyes
Direction to use
  • Step 1 — Wet your face and neck with lukewarm water.
  • Step 2 — Take a coin-sized amount of face wash on your palm and work into a gentle lather.
  • Step 3 — Apply to face and neck. Massage in gentle circular upward motions for 45–60 seconds.
  • Step 4 — Rinse thoroughly with cool water until all product is removed.
  • Step 5 — Pat dry with a clean towel. Immediately apply toner (optional) and then moisturiser to lock in the hydration from the aloe vera actives.

Best results: Use morning and evening. For enhanced brightening, follow with the Olivia Bright Boost 12% Vitamin C Serum in the morning and the Olivia Bi-Phasic Hydration Serum in the evening.

Ingredients

Full Ingredient List:
Aqua, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Cinnamomum Cassia (Cinnamon) Bark Extract, Glycerin, Panthenol, Allantoin, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate.

Key Ingredient Breakdown:

  • Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (Aloe Vera): Contains over 75 active compounds — vitamins (A, C, E, B12), minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and polysaccharides (acemannan). The polysaccharides act as humectants that bind water to the skin. The enzymes (amylase, lipase) gently cleanse while the vitamins provide antioxidant protection. In a face wash, aloe vera functions as both a cleanser support and a post-cleanse skin conditioner.
  • Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract: One of the most extensively researched natural skin-brightening ingredients. Contains two key actives:
    Glabridin: Inhibits UVB-induced pigmentation by blocking tyrosinase activity — the enzyme responsible for melanin synthesis. Studies show glabridin is 16x more potent as a tyrosinase inhibitor than kojic acid.
    Glycyrrhizin: Anti-inflammatory compound that reduces redness and soothes sensitive skin. Also provides mild antimicrobial protection.
  • Cinnamomum Cassia (Cinnamon) Bark Extract: Contains cinnamaldehyde and eugenol — two compounds with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. At cosmetic concentrations, cinnamon extract maintains skin hygiene without the harshness of chemical antibacterials. Also has mild circulation-stimulating properties that support skin glow.
  • Glycerin: Core humectant. Maintains skin hydration throughout the cleansing process.
  • Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): Strengthens the moisture barrier. Reduces transepidermal water loss.
  • Allantoin: Soothes sensitivity and promotes healthy cell regeneration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What does "moisture balance" mean, and how does this face wash restore it? +
Moisture balance refers to the ideal ratio of water content to oil content in the skin. Healthy skin has sufficient water to stay plump and calm, and produces just enough oil to protect its surface. When water content is low (dehydration), the skin triggers excess oil production as compensation — giving that confusing combination of oily and dry. This face wash restores balance by replenishing water content (aloe vera, glycerin, panthenol) while cleansing excess oil — addressing both sides of the imbalance simultaneously.
Q2. Is licorice extract safe for all Indian skin tones? +
Yes. Licorice extract is one of the most dermatologist-approved natural brightening ingredients globally. Unlike hydroquinone or mercury-based lighteners (which are hazardous), licorice's glabridin works by gently modulating melanin production — not bleaching or stripping the skin. It is safe for all skin tones and does not disrupt natural melanin.
Q3. Will cinnamon extract cause irritation on sensitive skin? +
At the cosmetic concentrations used in this face wash, cinnamon bark extract is well-tolerated by most skin types. The concentration is far below the threshold associated with the irritation that undiluted cinnamon oil can cause. If you have extremely reactive skin or a known sensitivity to spice-family botanicals, do a patch test on the inner forearm for 24 hours before full facial use.
Q4. How long before I see brighter, more even skin? +
Licorice extract begins inhibiting melanin production from the first use, but visible brightening of dark spots typically requires 6–8 weeks of consistent twice-daily use. Most users notice reduced dullness and more even tone within 2–3 weeks as the hydration benefit takes effect.
Q5. Can I use this face wash with a Vitamin C serum? +
Yes — this is a highly recommended pairing. The licorice extract in the cleanser inhibits melanin production, while Vitamin C in a serum inhibits melanin from a different enzymatic pathway and also reduces existing melanin. Together they provide dual-pathway brightening. Follow the face wash with the Olivia Bright Boost 12% Vitamin C Serum for comprehensive pigmentation care.
Q6. Is this face wash safe for daily use? +
Yes. The sulphate-free surfactant system is designed for twice-daily use without disrupting the skin barrier. The pH-balanced formula is compatible with the skin's natural acid mantle (pH 4.5–5.5).

So, my name is Yogita, and I have been using Olivia products for seven-eight months now. I initially thought they only offered beauty products, but they offer a wide range of beauty and skincare products. So let me take you on my journey with Olivia. It all started with their body wash, which takes you to a whole new level when you use it. It gives you a soft texture and feels like you just had a bath. I do it at least once a day and the aromatic bathing experience takes me to a different level of freshness.

Lipsticks are a must have in every girls vanity. I'm super fond of applying lipsticks and my current favourites are Olivia Beauty's newly launched Liquid Love Lipsticks. They come in so many shades, have smooth application and are highly pigmented. The best thing is that they don't dry out your lips and last very long. Hence i highly recommend these lipsticks. Perfect for all skin types and all occasions

I bought this after watching your Instagram post @oliviabeauty_india The foam that pumps out of the bottle generously covered my face. The bristles were soft on my skin, gently exfoliating and giving a good massage. I choose grapefruit+ vitamin C variant. It had a sweet fragrant. I felt refreshed and relaxed after using it. I would highly recommend everyone to try it
