Reviews
Speaking about cosmetics from Himalaya Herbals, users were divided not even into 2, but into 3 "camps". Some are delighted with it and say what a tremendous effect they got after using it, others say that it is "neither fish nor meat" - no harm, but little benefit. Well, the third were frightened off by an allergic reaction (rash, burning, itching, redness of the skin), so they abruptly stopped using.
And what do professional cosmetologists say about this cosmetics? The fact is that independent tests were carried out, which showed the following: the pH level of all brand products is close to neutral, the moisturizing effect, tested using a corneometer, turned out to be average, but there are complaints about the packaging: creams in jars deteriorate faster than those that in tubes, therefore preservatives are added to them.
In general, cosmetologists are not opposed to Himalaya Herbals being used as daily care, provided there is no allergy to its components.
