As a dry skin person, I have always faced difficulties in finding the best face wash for my skin type. When we have such a huge amount of choices or options, it becomes really hard to count upon one.
The best face wash is not the inexpensive one, it is not also the one which is branded, but something that must work for the particular skin type.
Dry skin has its saga to tell and only a dry skin person can understand the pain. Our skin does not retain sufficient moisture and thus, we experience scaling, itching, and many more skin problems. Naturally, we need such a kind face wash that is not only enriched with helpful ingredients but also retains moisture or at least makes our skin hydrated.
In the following section, I am going to curate the 9 best face wash for dry skin in India. Some of these face washes are perfect for sensitive skin as well. Moreover, a few face washes are absolutely chemical free, SLS-free, and paraben free.
Here, I have not taken the price of a particular as a parameter. The efficacy of the product says it all. Anything that is effective and does what the brand claims have been included in the list. So, without blabbering much, let’s talk about the best.
This is one such face wash that I can count upon anytime. Although I had always been an ardent fan of Nivea, I never thought that I would love their face wash as well.
So, Nivea came up with a few more variants along with this. But, this one caught my attention immediately for two reasons. Firstly, I love anything with honey and second of all, it was promoted for dry skin people only.
I grabbed it and just from the first wash itself, I fell for this. This is indeed one of the best affordable face wash for dry skin in India. And, here goes the reasons behind my love for this face wash.
Pros
- Sodium Myreth Sulfate which is used as the main surfactant is pretty safe
- Real honey extract is used that makes skin hydrated even after washing off
- Makes skin soft
- People with sensitive skin can use it too
Cons
- All might not like the presence of BHT, paraben, and perfume in the formulation
Overall, it is one of my favourites and one of the best face wash for dry skin in India.
Well! This was my first ever purchase from the brand Forest Essentials. Before that, I used to be pretty sceptical because of the hefty price tag. Honestly, even when I bought this product, it was a ‘just like that’ moment and I was not sure whether it would be effective or not.
But, as the product is included among the list of the best, it is obvious that something interesting happened. So, let me tell you in the following section what compelled me to include this among the best face wash for dry skin in India.
Pros
- Enriched with Rose Flower Extract, Nagkesar Extract, Kumud Flower Extract, etc.
- Pretty mild texture that is perfect for daily usage
- Foams well
- Imparts a subtle glow.
Cons
- Complete ingredient list is not provided
Overall, if the high price tag does not bother you, then this is a face wash worth giving a try. I would always vouch for this product.

Often, people with dry skin ask me several questions. Most of the time, the questions are similar. So, in the following section, I have tried to jot down three of those queries.
Myristic Acid-based foaming face wash is not a very good option for dry-skin people. Those are way too drying. Rather, go for a soap-free gentle formula that can hydrate and moisturize skin at the same time.
Well! The herbal face wash has no base these days. And honestly, the ingredients say it all. An herbal face wash might be SLS-free or may not. So, the purity and efficacy depend upon the ingredients not the mere number of active ingredients or the so-called herbal ingredients.
SLES, Hyaluronic Acid, Decyl Glucoside, Coco-Glucoside, Potassium Cocoate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, etc. are ingredients that are safe and effective for dry skin.
