Patanjali Neem and Aloe Vera Face Wash Review

I had gone on various trekking trips recently. All that sun and dust gave me nasty pimples on my face. Sigh! So, I went ahead and bought this Patanjali Neem and Aloe Vera Face Wash. Both Neem and Aloe Vera are known to fight pimples. After using it for over a week, here is my experience with it.

Product Description & Ingredients:

Patanjali Neem and Aloe Vera Face Wash Review

Product Claims:

Regulates excess oil secretion, softens & nourishes the skin.
Prevents pimples and improves skin glow.

Skin Type: Normal to Oily skin.

Price:

INR 45 for 60 grams.

Packaging:

It is a normal sturdy tube with flip open cap. I was not expecting much from the packaging taking into consideration its price. But, the tube had asymmetrical printing on it. That is so unacceptable. The rest of the tubes at the counter were the same too. Don’t they have quality checks in there?

Shelf Life:

Best before 18 months from the date of manufacturing.

My Experience with Patanjali Neem and Aloe Vera Face Wash:

I had heard a lot of rave reviews of Baba Ramdev Aloe Vera Gel. So, I was under an assumption that this face wash containing Aloe Vera would be a wonder too.

The consistency of this product is similar to any normal gel based face wash. The gel is colourless with a very weird smell. It doesn’t smell like a herbal product. Instead, I was reminded of some tonic syrup. Yikes! I had my signs! But, I chose to ignore it; afterall, it claimed it had all the goodness of Neem and Aloe Vera! And, who doesn’t want all Ayurvedic stuff.

I used this face wash for over a week. You require a very small amount of it. I have normal skin type. After using this face wash my skin felt really dry. You can feel that your skin is screaming for moisture. I had to provide dollops of moisture to my skin after using this face wash. It is really harsh on your skin. This face wash, because of its properties to dry out the skin, literally took away the entire glow from my face. I was so disappointed with it. It is similar to using a soap on your face.

It didn’t have any effect on my pimples, other than drying them out. I got new pimples even after using the product. I didn’t feel my skin getting any softer or healthier with the use of this face wash. In fact, it felt more dry and almost rubber like. I don’t know why used it even for a week!

Both Neem and Aloe Vera are really good for your skin. I don’t know what has gone wrong with the formulation of this product. May be, since both of the ingredients are oil control, a fusion product resulted in an extremely skin drying product.

Would I Repurchase Patanjali Neem and Aloe Vera Face Wash?

No. But, I might get other variants from their face wash line.

Would I Recommend Patanjali Neem and Aloe Vera Face Wash?

Definitely not to the beauties with normal skin type. Oily skinned beauties may find it useful.

In case you are interested to know what I finally did with this face wash, I added it to my hand wash! No wastage policy, you see. I have learnt a lesson the hard way, that the products with herbal and ayurvedic tag mat not necessarily be the best.
