Himalaya Herbals Hydrating Face Wash Cream Review

Face cleansers take an important place in our daily skincare regimen. Today, I am reviewing the Hydrating Cream Face Wash from Himalaya herbals brand. Previously I reviewed other products and this is the second last one left form Himalaya Herbals in my case. I have been using the fairness face pack too for a long time, the last one and I may be reviewing it some other time. I will be purchasing few more products from Himalaya (Yippee) and you can expect many more reviews from my favorite brand. Now lets move on to the product description and review.

Product Description: A soap free herbal formulation that gently cleanses and moisturizes. Unlike soap, it will not leave your face feeling dry and stretched. Cucumber cools and soothes, and Aloe vera tones and softens your skin. Use regularly for clean, fresh and glowing skin.

My Experience with this Product

I have been using this face wash cream for almost two months and I have a lot to say about it. It comes in a sturdy tube like every other Himalaya Herbals products come and is quite travel friendly. The packaging itself is simple and cute. Every squeeze is in your control too and hence overall, goodly packed.

 The consistency is some what in between thick and runny, it has a normal creamy texture. I have no complaints about the consistency part and the cream is milky white in colour too. Isn't that cute? While coming to the fragrance part, its a bit okay-sh to be honest. The fragrance is not super sweet, floral or fruity. It has a kinda herbal with talc mixed smell which might be uncomfortable for sensitive noses. But don't imagine any bad, it is gentle, nothing harsh  or overpowering. 

Himalaya Herbals Hydrating Face Wash Cream

 When I first used this face wash, I was disappointed because of the lathering part. Gosh! It doesn't lather at all. A big squeeze gives a very little lather but then I realized it is a face wash "Cream". Doesn't it? Why should we run behind the myth that only lathering products cleanse? It is somewhat like a cleansing milk come cream that cleanses skin without leaving it dry. My skin felt instantly clean, smooth and I would say that it is perfect for everyday wash. Normal to dry and dry skinned people will love it as it doesn't stretch skin by striping off excess moisture. About removing makeup, I am not sure. You may need to go for some other to cleanse heavy makeup. I have no complaints about this face wash as it does almost what it claims. It cleanses well, softens and doesn't dry out skin. Give a try for sure, it comes in a dirt cheap price too!

PROS

1. Leaves skin smooth, soft and clean.
2. Doesn't dry out skin. Retains moisture but not to the extent of skipping your moisturizer.
3. Perfect every day face wash for normal and dry skin types.
4. Comes in a dirt cheap price. Easy available too.
5. Milk like creamy consistency spreads smoothly over face and gets washed off easily.
6. No side effects such as breakouts and such.
7. Travel friendly.
8. Contains natural ingredients like Aloe and cucumber.

CONS

1. If you are looking for a lathering face wash, then this wont be your pick. Remember, this cannot be taken as a con because this is a face wash "Cream" (They clearly stated) 
2. Contain parabens. Every other product do so, nowadays.
3. The fragrance can be improved. 

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

My Recommendation: I highly recommend this face wash cream to dry and normal to dry skin types. It cleanses and softens well even without lathering. Comes in an affordable price too, so give a try!

Will I Repurchase?: Of course I will. Being an oily skinned person, I somehow love this too, because of the softening effect.

My Experience with this Product

Oh gosh! we get 500 ml for 115 bucks! This is the very first shocking thing, as well as surprising for me. Mostly cleansers come at a rate of 200 or 300 bucks for 100 ml and such but this cleanser comes in a dirt cheap prize. I really felt like getting a cool drink bottle, that huge the bottle is for this price :P I did not under estimate this product because of its price because the effectiveness doesn't depend on the price in most cases. This cleanser comes in a water opaque plastic bottle with blue a cap which is firm and leak proof. I would suggest not to get the 500 ml bottle unless you don't travel because it weighs a lot and makes traveling hard. Go for the small bottle, it is easy to carry and very travel friendly. It comes with a firm flip cap, hence hygienic too :) I accept, the packaging is very simple, but I don't mind because the quality of the product is important to me, not the packaging.

So, I have been using this cleansing milk now and then.. Oops not now and then, at least twice or twice a week till now to observe its good and bad things.  It has a white milky consistency, neither too runny and nor too thick. It glides onto the skin and spreads quickly. I usually massage gently for a minute on my facial skin and wash off. You can also wipe it off with tissue and splash water. While coming to the fragrance part hmm not so good, but not bad for me too. It has a kinda medicinal + herbal smell which is okay for me, but will be not okay for sensitive noses. They haven't mentioned the full ingredient list and the shelf life is 3 yrs, so I doubt whether they added any harmful preservatives in it. But so far, I experienced so side effects, breakouts or dryness. It cleanses out the oil, dirt and light makeup well and leaves my skin soft and moisturized. Oily skins can skip it in hard summers, because it may make your skin greasy but this cleanser is a perfect treat for normal and dry skin types. Dry skins will love it but not to the extent of skipping your moisturizer. Overall, it is a very good cleansing milk for this price. Surely get one for you! Worth trying!

Hey take a look at here. I used random shades on my hands (Some waterproof and others not), rubbed with this cleansing milk, wiped off and washed. Isn't the result better for the price? But sure, you need a better cleanser for removing waterproof eye makeup.

PROS

• The price! You get 500 ml for 115 bucks!
• Smooth and creamy consistency which glides onto the skin easily.
• Gets washed off completely without leaving any slippery feel.
• Travel friendly and sturdy packaging.
• Cleanses well. Leaves skin fresh and moisturized. 
• Contain natural ingredients like rose water and aloe vera. I felt the softness on my skin :)
• Removes oil, dirt and light makeup effectively. 
• I experienced no side effects such as breakouts or acne
• Screw cap and hence hygienic.

CONS

• The fragrance! It might be strong for sensitive noses.
• Full ingredient list not mentioned.
• This is not a con for this price and goodness, but still I am just mentioning. This is not for removing waterproof and heavy eye makeup.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

My Recommendation: I highly recommend it! At least get the smaller bottle and give a try! Normal and dry skins will love it. 

Will I Repurchase?: Of course! It will take months for me to finish this 500 ml bottle :P
