Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Water

What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent

Community Rating: Loved

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Himalaya Purifying Neem Face Wash contains this as ingredient number 1.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

What it does: Cleansing

Community Rating: Disliked

Cocamidopropyl Betaine is a fatty acid created by mixing similar compounds in coconut oil and dimethylaminopropylamine. Dimethylaminopropylamine is a diamine, an amine with two amino groups.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine is a surfactant and cleanser. It helps gather the dirt, pollutants, and other impurities in your skin to be washed away. It also helps thicken a product and make the texture more creamy.

Being created from coconut oil means Cocamidopropyl Betaine is hydrating for the skin.

While Cocamidopropyl Betaine was believed to be an allergen, a study from 2012 disproved this. It found two compounds in unpure Cocamidopropyl Betaine to be the irritants: aminoamide and 3-dimethylaminopropylamine. High-grade and pure Cocamidopropyl Betaine did not induce allergic reactions during this study.

Himalaya Purifying Neem Face Wash contains this as ingredient number 4.

Parfum

What it does: Masking, Perfuming

Community Rating: Very Disliked

Parfum is a catch-all term for an ingredient or more that is used to give aroma to products. Parfum, or fragrance, can be a blend of hundreds of chemicals or plant oils. This means every product with "fragrance" or "Parfum" in the ingredients list is a different mixture.

In the US, the alternative name for parfum is 'fragrance'. The term 'fragrance' is not regulated in many countries. In many cases, it is up to the brand to define this term.

For instance, many brands choose to label themselves as "fragrance-free" because they are not using synthetic fragrances. However, their products may still contain ingredients such as essential oils that are considered a fragrance. One example is Calendula flower extract. Essential oil ingredients still impart a scent or 'fragrance'.

Depending on the blend, it can cause allergies and sensitivities on the skin. Some ingredients that are known EU allergens include linalool and citronellol.

Products use parfum often to give products a scent or cover up smells of different ingredients.

The bottom line is: not all fragrances/parfum/ingredients are created equally. If you are worried about fragrances, we recommend taking a closer look at an ingredient. And of course, we always recommend speaking with a professional.

I have combination skin. As a person who had acne at a young age and I used this product for 4+ years and this product is not bad. I wont say its good because there are some pros and cons. pros: hydrating, and brightening and had a lot of vitamin D. Cons: Drying and Irritating. This product isn't harsh but there is fragrance. I wanted to say I have a lot of hyperpigmentation. So this product can make your skin brighten your skin It just takes a loong time to work. I use this everyday this is my routine:

Product: Cost:
Cetaphil
Gentle Clear Clarifying Acne Cream Cleanser $10

Himalaya
Purifying Neem Face Wash $8

Peach Slices
Acne Oil-Free Moisturizer $13

Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer with SPF 35 $14

I hope this helps you to see this product is good for you. If you have combination skin this is good for you. So 4 out of 5. not bad not good.

This is not that bad if you’re just looking for something to use and you have budget, location, and availability constraints. Served me fairly ok...

This is not that bad if you’re just looking for something to use and you have budget, location, and availability constraints. Served me fairly ok during my teens when I was quite acne prone (likely hormonal tbh). It’s not too drying and it cleans well but make sure to compensate with moisture in the rest of your routine.

You MIGHT find it irritating sometimes but usually it’s reliable.
