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.

 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.
