Okay the Himalayan Neem facewash really knows the trick to clear skin from the nasty things that daily troubles like pollution, sweat, and the general yuck of outside do to your face. Nobody is asking you to ditch that, but we have found products that work just as well, while also being more gentle on the skin. If you're looking for face washes with neem, aloe, or tea tree oil to help with breakouts and acne for under INR 200, then here's what we have for you.
Cleaner Than Himalaya Neem Facewash - These Do The Trick Under INR 200
Neem & Aloe Vera Face Cleanser - Nature O Care
₹100
Nature O Care has been around since the 1930s so you can safely assume that they know their way around skincare. Using (potent) Ayurvedic formulations and all-natural ingredients, the Neem & Aloe face cleanser will gently and effectively help your skin stay clear and toned. And we must say, this one smells great too, in a herbal sort of way. They have travel sizes too, so you can experiment before you make a commitment to it.
Tea tree & Basil Facewash - Mist & Dew
₹150
This facewash by Mist & Dew doesn't have neem but it does have two other powerful ingredients - Tea Tree Oil and Basil. While we don't have to tell you about the former, the latter is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Mist & Dew is known for keeping things natural, gentle, and great for those with sensitive skin. Paraben-free, and certified organic, this facewash will gently clear your skin, and keep it that way without stripping it of moisture.

Neem (BSE free Activ) Face Wash - Organic Harvest
₹132
We love Organic Harvest for its simple yet effective range. Team LBB has used everything from its hand cream and hair-spa cream to sunscreen and this Neem Face Wash. Sustainable, and cruelty-free, this face wash works best over time. It may not clear your skin from the first wash, but about two weeks of using it even once a day will show results. Clearer skin, that doesn't feel stretchy post-wash.

Basically, use it regularly and your chances of regular breakouts become super low.
