The Glow Reset

Some people meditate. Some people run marathons.

Me? I wash my face.

Not in that quick, half-awake splash-and-go kind of way. I mean, really wash it, deliberately, slowly, like I’m rinsing off the day itself. There’s something strangely healing about the quiet sound of water, the silky swirl of cleanser between your fingers, the cool touch of your own skin. For a few minutes, it’s just me and my reflection: no deadlines, no noise, no makeup filters. Just skin and stillness.

That’s what I felt the first time I tried Amohas.

You know how sometimes a brand doesn’t just sell you something, it changes how you approach it? That’s Amohas. Their name literally means freedom from illusion in Sanskrit, and that couldn’t describe their philosophy better. No gimmicks, no fake glow, no trendy ten-step routines. Just clean, intelligent skincare that feels like truth on your face.

And yes, I’ve fallen a little bit in love.

First Impressions: The Brand That Feels Like a Deep Breath

Before I even touched the products, I was drawn to the story. Amohas is inspired by Goddess Radha, the embodiment of love, grace, and balance, which already sets the tone: beauty that’s nurturing, not demanding.

Behind it all are two people who clearly live and breathe this philosophy.

Mr. Tirupathi Srinivasa Venkatesh, the strategist, the structure, the steady hand, and Ms. Aishwariya Kannan, who has the scientific chops and soulful curiosity that make you trust her with your skin. She’s got dual Master’s degrees in Biotechnology (one from the University of Illinois, Chicago), and you can tell her formulas aren’t just built to impress, they’re built to work.

It’s that mix of business and biochemistry, discipline and devotion, that makes Amohas special. You can feel it in every texture, every detail, every decision. This isn’t a brand trying to outshine anyone; it’s a brand that knows quiet confidence is the real luxury.

The Start of My Amohas Ritual

I began with two products from their launch collection:

1.     The Mulberry Tri-Ceramide Cleanser — a silky, nourishing cleanser that feels like washing your face in morning light.

2.     The Hydrating Rose Water Drench Gel — the dew-drop of all moisturizers, soft, airy, and whisper-light.

I didn’t expect to love both right away. My skin and I have a complicated relationship. It’s the kind of combination skin that can’t decide if it’s desert-dry or oil-slick. And don’t even get me started on sensitivity, one wrong move and I’m blotchy for hours.

So, I approached with cautious optimism. The packaging resembled something from a minimalist dream, clean, elegant, and grounded. But as we all know, skincare isn’t about appearances. It’s about what happens when it touches your face.

Step One: Cleansing, Reimagined

The first night, I pumped a little of the Mulberry Tri-Ceramide Cleanser into my hand and immediately noticed the texture: creamy, velvety, no harsh foaming or stripping. The kind of formula that feels more like a soft hug than a scrub.

As it touched my skin, I could actually feel the hydration.

And I know that sounds dramatic, but when you’ve used enough cleansers that leave your face feeling like a crumpled paper towel, one that doesn’t is a revelation.

The ingredients list reads like a skincare love poem:

·        Mulberry Extract to calm redness and smooth texture.

·        Manjishtha, the ancient Ayurvedic root known for brightening and evening tone.

·        Niacinamide, the modern-day miracle worker that minimizes pores and balances oil.

·        Centella Asiatica, that soothing, healing herb that makes stressed skin feel safe again.

·        And Tri-Ceramides, the skin’s own superheroes, sealing in moisture and strengthening your barrier.

The thing about this cleanser is that it doesn’t just remove, it restores. It gets rid of the day (and my sunscreen, my makeup, my bad decisions) but leaves my skin feeling balanced. No tightness, no dryness, no “quick, get me the moisturizer.”

Just softness. Clean, calm, content skin.

By the third day, I noticed something subtle, the little patches around my nose weren’t flaking anymore. My face didn’t feel shiny by midday. It was like my skin had finally stopped fighting me.

And that’s what Amohas does. It doesn’t try to fix your skin. It teaches it how to heal.

Step Two: The Rose Drench Moment

The morning after, I reached for the Hydrating Rose Water Drench Gel. I’d been saving it like dessert, and oh, it was worth the wait.

The texture is pure bliss. Think of chilled rosewater meeting cloud cream. It’s feather-light, melts on contact, and leaves that dewy, glassy finish you usually only get from professional facials or very good genetics.

It’s made with Rose Hydrosol (which instantly soothes), Niacinamide (because consistency is key), Glycerin, and Hyaluronic Acid, which we all know is hydration royalty. Together, they don’t just sit on the skin; they bind moisture into it.

And here’s the part that really impressed me: it doesn’t pill under makeup, it doesn’t feel sticky, and it doesn’t make your face look like you’ve just slathered on oil. It’s fresh. It’s light. It’s skin that glows, not gleams.

One pump, massaged gently over clean skin, and I swear my cheeks looked happier. There’s a quiet radiance that lingers all day, like my skin had a good night’s sleep even when I didn’t.

I’ve always been skeptical of rose products because many smell too heavy or artificial, but this one smells like an early morning garden, soft, clean, faintly floral, never perfumey. You don’t smell it after a few seconds, but your skin feels it all day.

What It Feels Like to Really Care for Your Skin

Something shifted when I started using these two together. My skincare routine stopped feeling like a checklist and started feeling like an experience.

The cleanser became my reset button, the thing I looked forward to at the end of each day. The rose gel became my soft start, the moment before everything else begins.

And the results? Beyond texture and tone, it’s the feeling. My skin feels steady. Balanced. Not reactive. Like it’s finally operating on its own rhythm instead of mine.

I didn’t need a shelf full of products. Just two that actually understood my skin’s language.

That’s what makes Amohas so refreshing, the simplicity. They don’t promise instant miracles or ten-year-younger nonsense. They promise balance. They promise science with soul.

And they deliver.

The Science Behind the Serenity

Here’s the thing, behind all the sensory beauty, there’s hard science at work.

Ceramides rebuild the skin barrier, that invisible wall that keeps moisture in and irritants out.
Niacinamide boosts your skin’s resilience and regulates oil.
Hyaluronic Acid draws hydration from the air into your skin (a single molecule can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water).
Centella Asiatica heals and calms inflammation.
Manjishtha and Mulberry bring brightness and balance.

It’s the best of both worlds: Ayurveda’s timeless wisdom and biotechnology’s precision. Aishwariya Kannan has found that rare formula harmony where ancient botanicals and clinical data dance together instead of competing.

So yes, it’s luxurious. But it’s also intelligent. And that’s what modern beauty should be.

The Ritual That Grounded Me

Now, every evening, I’ve made it a ritual:

Warm water. Two pumps of the Mulberry cleanser. Gentle circles. A minute to breathe. Rinse. Pat dry. Then, the Rose Gel: cool, light, and quietly indulgent.

Sometimes I’ll play soft music or light a candle. Sometimes I’ll do it in complete silence. Either way, it’s my small rebellion against the rush of life, five minutes that belong entirely to me.

My skin has changed, yes, softer, clearer, smoother, but so has my relationship with myself. This isn’t skincare as a task. It’s skincare as stillness.

And maybe that’s what Amohas is really about: peeling back the illusion that beauty has to be loud, complicated, or expensive to be meaningful. It’s about the purity of ingredients, intention, and routine.

If You Ask Me…

If you’re looking for skincare that feels human, that doesn’t just polish your skin but nurtures your mind, this is it.

The Mulberry Tri-Ceramide Cleanser is the gentle teacher that reminds your skin what calm feels like.

The Hydrating Rose Water Drench Gel is the morning affirmation that keeps that calm going all day.

Together, they’re not just skincare. They’re care, in its truest form.

I’ve tried more brands than I can count, but this one made me slow down, breathe deeper, and fall in love with the process again.

The Last Drop

Skincare shouldn’t feel like a science experiment or a social media performance. It should feel like coming home to yourself: one cleanse, one touch, one quiet glow at a time.

And that’s what Amohas gives you:

A ritual rooted in truth.
A cleanser that clears both skin and clutter.
A rose gel that hydrates and heals in equal measure.
A reminder that luxury doesn’t have to shout; sometimes, it just whispers in the language of balance.

Because in a world of illusion, freedom looks a lot like clear, comfortable, honest skin.
