2 Best Face Wash for Combination Skin Available in India Under Rs 500 – 2024

Originally published in May 2021. I have always faced a challenge to find the best face wash for my combination skin. Since 3 years, I have been using these products consistently and can definitely claim that these face washes are still as good.

I choose to not spend way too much in looking around for the best face wash. A face wash should just serve the purpose of cleansing the face without drying it out.

What do I look for in a face wash?

I have tried around the budget ones and the pricier ones available in the Indian market and I still go back to these two. The best face wash is the one which does what it says.

1. Should Only Cleanse the Skin

Believe it or not, I have come across face washes which do not make you feel refreshed. A good product should clean your face well and get rid of blackheads. It need not remove your makeup and it need not scrub your face. But, it should definitely remove the last remnants of your makeup remover, cleansing oil or cleansing milk, whatever you use to remove your makeup or sunscreen.

Best Sunscreens Vol. 1 – Neutrogena Ultra Sheer vs Shiseido Multi-Defense

With all the house finishings and roaming around, I am being extra careful about my skin. In the last two months alone, I have used up almost four best sunscreens so you can easily imagine how much quantity of sunscreen I apply. Well, I am happy to share that winters and aging has helped control the grease and oil and my face has not been looking like an oil pan.

The real test of sunscreen happens only in summers though. So, I decided I would do a good amount of research and find out the best sunscreens that really work and pass the requirements like not getting too oily on skin, giving adequate protection, easy to apply and remove, not making the skin dull and many other things.

I usually prefer lotion and cream sunscreens which come with protective packaging. Spray sunscreens are not my type since there is a lot of wastage and the smell and fumes are usually very strong. Have you ever tried a spray sunscreen? Did you like it?

On a side note, remember the news I shared about us buying a house and shifting this month end. Life has been crazy last month but this month is even worse. The dealing with laborers is a job best left to experienced people but then there is always a first time, right? I just hope we can stick to our shifting schedule otherwise we are in suds!! No roof over our heads. Anyways, let me start with the least expensive and my favorite sunscreen.

I got this liquid neutrogena face wash sometime in October. Now that I am almost about to finish it, lets see what I think about it.

Liquid Neutrogena Pure Mild Facial Cleanser Product Review

Price : Rs 299 for 150ml

Availability : Flipkart | Amazon

Skin Type : It says all Skin Types. But, I am not sure it will suit the oily skin very well. Oily skin needs a little more strong face wash and anyways Neutrogena has deep clean meant specifically for oily skin.

Packaging

Liquid Neutrogena comes in a pump bottle. Very easy to use in the bathroom. But, the pump does not lock so is not travel-friendly. I am so loving the pump bottle that I am gonna store it and use it for something else once the face wash gets over.
