Himalaya Herbals Oil Control Lemon Foaming Face Wash Review

I can't remember the last time I used a non-dermatologically prescribed face wash. I was so attached to the face wash which my doctor prescribed that I have absolutely forgotten how it feels to use something else to cleanse my face. After ages, trying something new felt fresh and nice. The way I was introduced to this particular product will definitely surprise you. I was at the petrol pump and was given Himalaya Herbals Oil Control Lemon Foaming Face Wash as a compliment for filling my vehicle tank. Unbelievable right? I was wondering what I was going to do with it but then I thought why not give it a try. So here is the review!

About Himalaya Herbals Oil Control Lemon Foaming Face Wash:

Himalaya's Oil Control Lemon Foaming Face Wash is a soap-free, herbal formulation that gently cleanses your face and removes excess oil. Blended with Lemon, an astringent and cooling agent, and Honey, which has natural, deep cleansing properties, the face wash leaves your skin clean without feeling dry and stretched.

Price:

175 INR for 150 ml

Ingredients List:

Lemon has an overall soothing and relaxing effect. Citric acid present in lemon lightens and soften your skin. It also helps fades freckles, age spots and eliminates blackheads. Lemon removes grime and dirt and leaves your skin supple and smooth.
Honey is very beneficial for skin as it can attract water to maintain moisture as well as provide nourishment to the skin. It is also a natural antiseptic as it contains antimicrobial agents that kill bacteria.

Directions For Use:

Moisten face, apply a small quantity of Oil Clear Lemon Foaming Face Wash and gently work up a lather using a circular motion. Wash off and pat dry. Use twice daily.

My Experience With Himalaya Herbals Oil Control Lemon Foaming Face Wash:

It comes in a see through plastic bottle with a pump dispenser. The cap is also see through and closes tightly. The bottle is sturdy and does not bend when pressed too much. This confirms the quality of the bottle. The pump dispenser is also made of plastic and is very sturdy. The contents of the bottle look like a transparent liquid with a pipe running through the bottle attached to the dispenser. Even though the face wash appears to be in liquid form within the bottle, once dispensed it is in the form of heavy froth.

When the pump is pressed, the tube sucks the liquid. This liquid is then foamed by a spring present inside the pump throwing it out through the opening. The foam is white in color and feels very airy. You might think it is just foam and wont lather well but you are wrong. Even though it resembles soap powder foam, it lathers really well. You need just one small pump to have the perfect quantity to cleanse the entire face. It smells like a hint of lemon which is not at all overpowering. It sucks the dirt and oil off the face with just one wash giving a clean finish. It makes the skin feel soft and bright, without making it feel too tight. It does not cause any dryness or outbreaks that I know of. Even though it gives a temporary solution for oil retention, it is not a permanent cure. I still love this face wash and enjoy using it every day!

Pros Of Himalaya Herbals Oil Control Lemon Foaming Face Wash:

• It has a very good packaging.
• Very efficient pump dispenser.
• Does not cause any breakouts.
• Does not cause any dry patches or dry areas after wash.
• Sucks the oil and dirt out in one wash.
• Makes the skin feel clean and fresh.

Cons Of Himalaya Herbals Oil Control Lemon Foaming Face Wash:

• I feel the ingredients list is incomplete.

4.5/5

Final Note:

It is a great face wash for every day face clean up. But those who need additional features in a face wash like whitening, glow etc. can skip this. I would however repurchase it.
