My experience with the products:
I began using all the three products from this range around a week back and I quite liked the range so far. I even asked my sister to try this range since a week, as she had just came back from a week's excursion trip with heavy tan on her face, and the products from this range have already shown the effects much more visible on her. We both have been using the products in the steps as per mentioned by the range -
- Wash the face with the facewash first.
- Use Scrub to exfoliate
- Apply mask
Let us get to the each product one by one:
Lakme Clean up Fresh Fairness Facewash:
Price: INR 160 for 100 grams
My experience
The first thing that I loved the most about this entire range is its lovely pink packaging. It gives you an extra girly feeling, don't you think! Anyways, this facewash comes in a cute pink tube with a nice and handy flip open cap. The facwash has gel like appearance and medium consistency. It lathers well, cleanses off the oil and dirt, and gets rinsed off easily. It has this lovely fruity-floral fragrance which is quite relaxing to the senses. I like the way it effectively works in cleansing my face without being too harsh on my skin. I haven't felt any dryness (on my oily-combination skin!) after washing my face with this facewash. The presence of Menthol gives a nice cooling and refreshing effect which feels good in current hot and humid climate. Overall, it is a decent facewash for every day use.
The only things that I didn't like much about this facewash are the chemicals in the ingredient list, especially the presence of SLS in it.

My experience
Exfoliation is one of the most essential step in my skin care routine and I am usually quite choosy about the scrub I choose for that purpose. I like my scrubs to be gentle on skin, yet good on removing the dead skin cells. This particular scrub from Lakme comes in a thick paste that is loaded with small granules. The granules are a bit bigger than my preference and feel a bit harsh. I have to ensure that I keep my finger movements as gentle as possible on my face, while using this scrub, otherwise I might end up getting rashes. Not a big fan of this scrub so far, and I don't think I'd include it in my everyday routine.
However, I made my sister use this scrub too and I could notice a great deal of difference in her tan with just one wash. It worked amazingly in removing the tan off her skin and bringing forth a smoother and much brighter skin. So, if you are looking for heavy exfoliation, then this can be apt for you.
Again the dislikes that I've felt about this scrub are the presence of chemicals (SLS again!) in the ingredients, and the fact that the granules are a bit harsher in action.

My experience:
For me, this is the star product of the range and I absolutely LOVE using it. The mask comes as a thick paste and is easy to spread evenly all over my face. It gives a nice cool effect to my skin and takes just 5-10 minutes to become dry. It gets easily rinsed off and gives a much smoother and refreshed skin. I have been using it quite regularly and feel my skin to be much better, brighter and relaxed. My sister is also loving using it and it has definitely helped her too in getting a better and softer skin with every usage.
I have no dislike from this product, except for the fact that it has parabens in its ingredients.
Overall, I feel this mask to be a must have product from the range.
