Hi everyone! Let us talk about a product today which though is meant for men, I find it works great for women as well.

Himalaya Herbals Power Glow Licorice Face Wash Review Price India

Himalaya Power Glow Face wash is meant for men. However I did go through the ingredient list and all ingredient it had were very much common to the ingredients of a normal face wash meant for women. So I decided to buy it. I have been using it and I feel this is pretty much a deep cleansing unisex face wash.

In Detail Himalaya Herbals Power Glow Licorice Face Wash Review and My Experience

This face wash comes in a blue coloured stout opaque tube with a white coloured flip open top. The lock on the top is sturdy so pretty safe to travel with. I love the fact that Himalaya has mentioned the complete ingredient list on this product.

The face wash smells a bit fruity although I cannot put my finger on any particular fruit. Its a little sweet with a slight zesty scent. I actually find the smell refreshing. When we look at it, its a bright yellow coloured product with a semi-gel like consistency. It has some red coloured particles suspended in it which are solid and are meant to give this face wash its scrubbing property.

How I Use it

This face wash is for the use of all skin types however I would say, it would be best for oily and combination skin types like mine. I use it everytime I come back home. I take almost a little more than a dime sized amount and apply it all over my face and neck. It lathers up into a soft foam and the tiny red scrub particles give a thorough cleansing experience to my skin.

Effects

My skin feels squeaky clean after I have used this. It takes out all dirt and impurities and cleanses the skin amazingly well. After using this face wash when I apply a toner, I notice no impurities on my cotton pad. Isn’t that amazing? I have also noticed that my skin stays oil free for a longer time post using this. For an oily-combination skin girl like me, its a huge plus point.

I always follow this up with toning and moisturising my skin. A good moisturiser is very important after using this face wash since this does make the skin feel a bit dry. Also, I would not recommend using this face wash as your default or daily face wash because of its drying properties. If you do not need heavy duty cleansing, go for a milder face wash.

CONs of Himalaya Herbals Power Glow Licorice Face Wash

1. They claim that this face wash is going to whiten the skin via Licorice, I find this completely ridiculous since no face wash can decrease the melanin content of the skin. Skin whitening is a totally absurd claim and I find this claim offensive in so many ways especially in a country where we have such beautiful ladies with golden glowy skin.
2. It may not be very suitable for dry skin beauties.

MBF Advices

1. Always use a heavy duty cleanser after coming back from an environment of lot of dirt and pollution.
2. Always moisturise the skin well irrespective of the type of skin. Use a moisturiser suitable to your skin type.
3. Do not believe in skin whitening claims, be proud of your skin tone. You are beautiful, trust me 🙂

  1. I have used men’s face washes in the past. I don’t find them much different from women’s face washes; except they could be a little more drying. But everything seems the same.

  2. Thanks for this honest reviews. It’s a great cleanser removing all the impurities in the skin, leaving it clear and fresh. Its good also in stopping the appearance of acne and makes the skin oil free. Just make sure that after you cleanse , you also put moisturizing cream to keep your skin hydrated, making your skin healthy.
