Final Verdict:

I was very disappointed with Nivea Men All-in-one face wash and Garnier Acno fight face wash.Its good to know Himalaya is coming up with really good products specially for men.These two face washes are worth the money and they do live up to their claims.Both face washes do not break me out.Skin feels good after cleansing,it does not dry the skin.Guys you can also use it for shaving,the foam/lather is pretty good and does not irritate the skin.Overall good products which are budget options as well and suits all skin types.
