Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Scrub - Product Review

Hi Friends !! 

As mentioned in my last blog .. I will be reviewing my exfoliating products one by one in my upcoming blogs .. One of them being Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Scrub .I usually prefer using it on my face and neck ...
The product claims that it is specially formulated to give you clear, problem-free skin, this scrub works with a dual exfoliation and purifying action. Neem, well-known for its purifying and antibacterial properties, kills problem-causing bacteria. Combined with exfoliating Apricot granules, it gently scrubs away blackheads, dead skin cells and embedded impurities, leaving your skin, soft, clear, refreshed and problem-free.

Without any further ado let's get started with the product review! 

Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Scrub

Which Brand is it ?? : 

The Himalaya Drug Company was founded with a clear vision to bring Ayurveda to society in a contemporary form and to unravel the mystery behind the 5,000 year old system of medicine. This included referring to ancient ayurvedic texts, selecting indigenous herbs and subjecting the formulations to modern pharmacological, toxicological and safety tests to create new drugs and therapies and products.They use minimal chemicals and have wide range of products available in organic formulations.

 Neem is an excellent skin care ingredient known for its antibacterial properties. It improves general skin health and immunity, combating bacterial infections such as acne, boils and ulcers. Neem tackles bacteria from the root and prevents the recurrence of pimples and blemishes. 

Apricot granules gently exfoliate dead skin cells, to bring out your skin's natural glow

How does it Look and smell like ?: 

• This comes in a typical white tube like all most of the other products of Himalaya range with a green colored flip cap.
• On opening the flip cap you will see a medium sized nozzle to dispense the product (refer to the image shown above).
• The scrub is a white , cream-like based consistency with small but visible green and beige colored granules of neem and apricot which do the real work of exfoliation.
• It spreads well and evenly.
• There is detailing on the tube regarding the product and its usage.
• It has a mild fragrance.
• 2 pea size product is enough to cover neck and face.
• Packaging is sturdy and travel friendly.

 How to use this product ? :

I usually use face wash first , considering that my skin is oily , if you have dry or normal skin you may use it directly, seeing the creamy consistency I was a little skeptical of whether it will be able to remove the gunk or not ..so I used face wash , you basically need to moisten the face , take about 2 pea sized quantity on your hands and massage all over face and neck , avoiding the delicate eye area. Gently massage in upward circular motion for good 1-2 minutes depending on how much u want to exfoliate ..don't over do it .. let the small granules work on your skin and let the product work on your skin for another 1-2 minutes .Wash off and pat dry. I mostly don't find the need to moisturise my face after this , again this depends on individual's skin type... cos the formula is creamy.However no new breakouts occurred on my face after using it.

Key Ingredients :

Primarily Neem and Apricot.

Details and Contents 

How much does it Cost? !! :

100gm comes for INR 130/- and it is available at   Amazon Himalaya Store and Nykaa.com .

What Did I like about this product ?:

• It is the most efficient and inexpensive way of exfoliating face  and neck .
• Removes impurities and dead skin cells. 
• It cleanses excess oil from the skin's surface, which is the root cause of acne. 
• The scrub is blended with the goodness of Neem, which clears blackheads and acne, and Apricot, which hydrates the skin. The natural ingredients cleanse, nourish and moisturize your skin to make it soft, fresh and radiant.
• It helped me getting smooth skin.
• Travel friendly.
• Neat and sturdy Packaging.
• Inexpensive as compared to the quality you get.
• One tube , if used twice a week goes upto 3 months.

What did I dislike about this product:

• I felt that the consistency could have been more thicker and with more saturated exfoliating beads so as to give a better result.however the current consistency is also workable.
• Also the beads should have been a little bit more granulated , the bigger beads are sometimes difficult to work on the skin. 

Recommended to use?

Yes , I feel for a price like that it's worth a try.I may consider repurchasing it , as my tube is already over.

Final Take and Rating !! 

I could say that this scrub does its primary job of  exfoliating the skin by removing dead skins with apricot granules and with the goodness of neem to prevent acne.After using this I ended up having a smooth skin and it's rather inexpensive as compared to most of the other scrubs out there in the market.No new breakouts or zits so its safe to be used.

Rating would be : 4/5
