I received Dr Sheth’s Neem & Salicylic Acid Face Wash in one of my Nykaa Pink boxes. I was verye xcited to try this face wash as salicylic acid face washes work good for my skin. After thoroughly testing the face wash since 2 months I am writing this review. Most of the times salicylic acid face wash cannot be used daily, After using the Dr Sheth’s Neem & Salicylic Acid Face Wash I can 100% confirm this statement. Check out the Dr Sheth’s Neem & Salicylic Acid Face Wash review to know why you cannot use this face wash for any other skin type than oily skin.

My experience with Dr Sheth’s Neem & Salicylic Acid Face Wash
The face wash lathers really well even in hard water and takes sometime to wash off fully. The face wash cleanses oily skin thoroughly well while giving a squeaky clean feel. It cleanses excess sebum, dirt grime really well. It contains 1% salicylic acid which thoroughly cleanses the skin. Please check the quantity of face wash you use as pea sized quantity is enough to cleanse the whole face.
Dr Sheth’s salicylic acid face wash can easily remove a non-silicone based, oil free sunscreen. It will be a good choice for regular use for oily, acne prone skin. It reduces clogged pores and whiteheads easily. While using this face wash I have experienced lesser breakouts, reduced whiteheads and diminished appearance of blackheads. I haven’t used the face wash twice a day so I won’t be able to comment on drying or flaking effects of it on my skin.
However, daily use (in evening PM skincare routine) did make my skin bumpy and I noticed one pus filled small pustule. I immediately reduced the usage of frequency of Dr Sheth’s salicylic acid face wash to weekly twice and that too only in my PM skincare routine.
Do not use this face wash on a daily basis and don’t use it in your morning skincare routine. I haven’t used the face wash twice a day so I won’t be able to comment on drying or flaking effects of it on my skin. Since this is a thorough cleanser, it cannot become a part of double cleansing routine since it works good as a standalone cleanser.

Dr Sheth’s Neem & Salicylic Acid Face Wash Review
The face wash is designed to cleanse the skin thoroughly well. It performs the job of exfoliating the skin perfectly while reducing clogged pores, whiteheads and blackheads. It also helps in clearing up the skin and keeps it fresh and glowing. If you have oily, acne prone skin, I would recommend you to use this face wash only twice or thrice a week in PM skincare routine. People who face mild acne problem can definitely give this a try. The face wash doesn’t prevent any hormonal breakouts but the ones caused by clogged pores definitely are reduced. This can definitely be considered as Best cleanser for oily skin in India .
