Himalaya Neem Foaming face wash

Foaming face-washes are the BEST of all the ones out there. Seriously!

I stumbled upon the first one I used by accident. It was the Vichy Purete Thermale (by Vichy Laboratories) which I got for free when I bought the Vichy Bi-white reveal night cream. Pretty good, but I didnt want to buy it again cos it was really, really expensive for a daily-use facewash.

It was at this point that I chanced upon the Himalaya Purifying Neem Foaming facewash (let's call it HPNF for short). This had been in the market for so long, but I was finally opening my eyes to it only now!

Amazing product. Effective, economical, and like all foaming facewashes, so easy to use :)

HPNF comes as a green liquid in a big cylindrical clear bottle, that has a pump to dispose the foam. It claims to be made of

  • Azadirachta indica (Neem, Nimba)
  • Curcuma longa (Turmeric, Haridra)
  • Veiveria zizaniodes (Vetiver, Ushira)
that combine to form anti-bacterial, antiviral and germicidal properties, helping in purifying the skin. It also claims to control acne, pimples and their recurrences.



This is my favourite foaming facewash till date. You need just about two pumps to wash your face and neck, and it lathers so softly and smoothly onto your skin. Like a dream! It has such a light and airy texture which feels oh-so-great when applying. I love this product because it makes my face feel soft and clean, without stripping my face completely of oil. However it has a very tiny drying effect - which I actually like since I have combination skin which tends to get oily as the day goes by.


As for acne control, I'd give it a thumbs-up - even the occasional breakout that I used to have seems to be in hibernation after I started using HPNF.

Priced at Rs. 150/- for 150 ml of product (and trust me, that's a lot). Wow!
