Twenty-four face washes and conditioners read on 19 September. Two Simple listings publish the same 224,856 ratings - one at Rs. 599, one at Rs. 392.
We read Nykaa's face wash and conditioner listings on 19 September 2026 and seated 24 of the 33 that returned a price, an MRP and a rating. Prices run from Rs. 99 to Rs. 1,025, and the shelf publishes more feedback than any marketplace we have read this month - nine listings carry over 50,000 ratings. It also carries two Simple listings publishing the identical 224,856-rating pool at Rs. 599 and Rs. 392, and four Dot & Key face washes at one price. This page sorts the shelf by what is actually published.

Two Simple listings publish the identical 224,856 ratings at Rs. 599 and Rs. 392. Alongside them sit the most-rated products in the read: Cetaphil's Gentle Skin Cleanser with 433,017 ratings, and its Rs. 99 trial size carrying the shelf's only badge above 40 per cent.
Rs. 599 for Simple's Kind to Skin Refreshing Facewash - and a second Simple listing publishing the identical 224,856 ratings sells at Rs. 392.

Rs. 392 for Simple's Refreshing Facial Wash - the cheaper of the two Simple listings sharing one rating pool.
Why it earned its spot Same brand, same formula family, same feedback, two hundred rupees cheaper.

Why it earned its spot The dearest face wash seated here, with the second-largest sample.
Dot & Key sells four different face washes at exactly Rs. 214 against exactly Rs. 249, so the only number that varies between them is the rating count - and that runs from 1,566 to 78,731. Minimalist and Plum price the same way.
Rs. 214 for Dot & Key's Vitamin C + E gel face wash - one of four Dot & Key listings at exactly Rs. 214 against exactly Rs. 249.
Why it earned its spot A brand that prices its whole range at one number, and discounts every bottle by the same 14 per cent.

Why it earned its spot Nearly the same sample and average as the barrier wash, at the identical price.
Rs. 214 for Dot & Key's Strawberry Bright niacinamide gel face wash - 1,566 ratings against its siblings' 78,731.
Why it earned its spot Seated to show that one price across a range does not mean one level of proof.
Rs. 269 for Minimalist's 2% salicylic acid cleanser - 4.4 from 146,080 ratings, the third-largest sample in the read.
Why it earned its spot The smallest badge on the shelf, on one of its biggest rating pools.
Rs. 268 for Plum's 2% niacinamide rice water face wash - 4.3 from 51,443 ratings.
Why it earned its spot A rupee cheaper than the Minimalist, with a third of the feedback and a similar promise.

Rs. 350 for TRESemme's Keratin Smooth conditioner - 37 per cent off a stated Rs. 555, with the largest conditioner rating pool here.
Why it earned its spot Where the discounts on this shelf actually live - the legacy haircare aisle.

Why it earned its spot The highest average of any well-sampled conditioner here, near the bottom of the price range.
Rs. 248 for L'Oreal Paris's Hyaluron Pure 72H conditioner - the same stated Rs. 345 as the 99,430-rating listing, with a twentieth of the feedback.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 17 dearer than its far better-proven sibling, off the same stated MRP.
Rs. 431 for L'Oreal Paris's Glycolic Gloss shine-sealing conditioner - 30 per cent off a stated Rs. 615, on 4,002 ratings.

Rs. 279 for Nykaa Naturals' fermented rice water sulphate-free conditioner - the retailer's own brand, 20 per cent off a stated Rs. 349.
Why it earned its spot The house-label option, and a reminder of who wrote the MRP above it.
Rs. 399 for Bare Anatomy's anti-hair fall conditioner with Redensyl - 11 per cent off a stated Rs. 449, on one of the smallest samples here.
Why it earned its spot A D2C brand's named active at a D2C brand's small discount, with thin published evidence.
First: read the count under the stars, because on this shelf it is the only number that genuinely varies. Averages here run from 4.0 to 4.7 on every listing; the samples run from 925 to 433,017. Second: if a count looks familiar, check the other listing. Two Simple face washes publish 224,856 ratings each at Rs. 599 and Rs. 392. Third: ignore the badge and compare prices directly. A Matrix conditioner claiming 10 per cent off sells at Rs. 320 while three Unilever conditioners claiming 37 per cent sell at Rs. 350. Fourth: when a brand prices its whole range at one number - as Dot & Key does at Rs. 214 - choose on the ingredient and the rating count, not on the tile. And if you are trying an active ingredient for the first time, the Rs. 99 Cetaphil trial size is the cheapest way to find out whether your skin agrees with it.

Every selling price, stated MRP, discount badge, rating average and rating count on this page was read on 19 September 2026 from nykaa.com's own face wash and conditioner listings, logged out, in India. Thirty-three listings returned a price, an MRP, a rating and a count; 24 are seated.
Nykaa publishes more feedback than any marketplace we have read this month - nine listings here carry more than 50,000 ratings and the largest carries 433,017. It also carries listings with 925 and 1,566. Every card states the count, and where two listings share one count to the digit we say so.
Two Simple listings on this shelf publish 4.5 from exactly 224,856 ratings at Rs. 599 and Rs. 392. A count that matches to the digit is one pool attached to two product pages, not two independent verdicts, and both cards say so.
Discount claims here run from 10 to 56 per cent and sort by brand type rather than by value: legacy haircare claims 28-37 per cent, D2C skincare 10-16. The Rs. 320 Matrix conditioner claims 10 per cent and undercuts three listings claiming 37. We have not verified that any product sold at its stated MRP.
Nothing on this page was used on skin or hair. Ingredient, skin-type, hair-fall and results language is the seller's own listing text, quoted as such. This page makes no medical or dermatological claim, and where an ingredient is widely marketed we describe what it is rather than what it will do for you. If you have a skin condition, ask a dermatologist rather than a price page.
Usually pack size - but check what else matches. In our 19 September 2026 read, two Simple face wash listings sold at Rs. 599 and Rs. 392 while publishing the identical 224,856 ratings, to the digit, at the same 4.5 average. A count that matches exactly is one pool of feedback attached to two product pages, not two independent verdicts. The quarter-million ratings tell you the formula is popular; they tell you nothing about which bottle is the better buy. Compare the pack sizes and the price per millilitre before choosing.
Cetaphil's Gentle Skin Cleanser at Rs. 409, with 4.5 from 433,017 ratings - the largest published sample we have found on any Indian retailer this month, and more than four times the next-largest face-wash pool. The same brand's Oily Skin Cleanser at Rs. 659 carries 98,340, and Minimalist's 2% salicylic cleanser at Rs. 269 carries 146,080. Both Cetaphil listings also carry two of the smallest discount claims on the shelf, 11 and 12 per cent.
Because the brand prices its range flat. All four Dot & Key face washes in our read sold at exactly Rs. 214 against exactly Rs. 249, printing the same 14 per cent badge. The intention is to make the choice about the ingredient rather than the money, and it works - but it also means the only number that separates them is the rating count, which runs from 1,566 on the strawberry niacinamide wash to 78,731 on the barrier repair wash. Same price, same badge, fifty times the difference in evidence.
No. On this shelf the badge sorts by brand type rather than by value. Legacy haircare brands claim 28-37 per cent off; D2C skincare brands claim 10-16. The clearest example: a Matrix conditioner claiming 10 per cent sells at Rs. 320, while three Unilever conditioners claiming 37 per cent sell at Rs. 350. The discount describes the MRP the brand states. Only the selling price describes what you pay.
The Rs. 99 Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser is the cheapest listing in our read, but it is a 29 ml trial size - genuinely useful for testing whether salicylic acid suits your skin before buying a full bottle. For a full-size wash, Dot & Key's barrier repair at Rs. 214 has 78,731 ratings behind it, and Plum's niacinamide wash at Rs. 268 and Minimalist's salicylic cleanser at Rs. 269 both carry large samples. None of this is medical advice; if your skin is reacting to something, see a dermatologist.
