Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Scrub: Scrub for Sensitive, Acne Prone Skin

Hey guys,

My love for Himalaya Herbals revived again, after I received a few things from them, you already saw a few reviews. I am planning to buy the kesar face pack too.

Now I had reviewed this Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Scrub long back in 2011, as I had mentioned in the Neem Face Pack post that I have been using the Neem Range including the face wash since time immemorial 😀

I have also reviewed the Gentle Exfoliating Walnut Scrub earlier, which again is quite gentle and nice but this Purifying Neem Scrub is specifically amazing for people with acne prone skin.

About: 

What it does: Himalaya’s Purifying Neem Scrub removes impurities and dead skin cells. It also 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.

Key ingredients:

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

Turmeric has been used as an antiseptic for centuries. The herb also has strong anti-inflammatory properties which soothe your skin gently. It also makes your skin soft and supple.

Directions: Apply Purifying Neem Scrub in a circular motion on the face and neck. Rinse with water and pat dry. Use at least once a week for clear, acne-free skin.

MRP: Rs.130/- for 100g, Rs.70/- for 50g

It comes in the flip cap tube packaging and with different size tubes, so you can even carry the smaller one while travelling, I believe there is a sachet too, for one time use.

It has small green and brown granules as it’s a mix of neem and apricot, the granules are very fine and not at all harsh or gritty. Since the exfoliants are quite mild, that makes this scrub perfect for sensitive skin. The base is creamy with a light green tint and it makes exfoliation on the face quite easy. I go more around the corners of my nose and on my T zone as I have combination skin. It has a slight herbal smell, but it’s not bothering.

As I had mentioned already mentioned in the Neem face pack post, neem is excellent for oily skin as it is anti bacterial and kills the germs at the root level, not allowing it to spread further while turmeric is anti inflammatory. Here in this scrub, while the walnut granules help exfoliate, neem and turmeric helps kill the germs.

I quite like this scrub and if you have acne prone skin, you will like it too.

They even have a TVC..
