Thirty-five listings read in one afternoon. The scrubs are cheaper and discounted twice as deep; the cleansing waters cost more and five of them badge exactly 5%.
We read every face scrub, exfoliator and micellar water Nykaa returned on its own search on 14 November 2026 — 35 listings — and the shelf divides itself neatly in half. The 18 scrubs have a median price of Rs. 214 and a median discount of 25%. The 17 cleansing waters have a median price of Rs. 392 and a median discount of 10%. The dearer category is the one that barely moves on price, and five of its listings badge exactly 5%. Two tiles at Rs. 191 badge 36% and 15%; three at Rs. 299 badge 25%, 25% and 14%.
Every price below was pulled from Nykaa on November 14, 2026 and checked against the MRP on the listing. Stack them with the live codes on our Nykaa coupons page, which the deals desk re-verifies daily.

Nykaa runs coupon, GWP and bank offers that change by day, card and basket, and this read was made logged out, so nothing beyond the listed price is included here. Check the pack size on the product page — the listing titles on this shelf almost never state it, which is why no per-ml figure appears anywhere on this page. Ignore the badge: two listings at Rs. 191 badge 36% and 15%. Read the rating count, not the stars, which range here from 36 to 378,989. Treat the claims printed on the product photos as the brand's marketing, not as findings. And ask a clinician if your skin is sensitive or under treatment. If you are pricing the same aisle elsewhere, our Nykaa face mask read and the Nykaa vs Myntra serum comparison were read the same way.

Each selling price, stated MRP, badge, star average and rating count here came from the JSON nykaa.com's own search returns, read 14 November 2026, logged out, from India, with nothing bought and no coupon or bank offer applied. The read returned 35 distinct listings across face scrubs, exfoliators, cleansing balms and micellar waters, and 21 are seated here. Every median, range and count quoted is computed over all 35.
18 of the 35 listings are scrubs or exfoliators: median price Rs. 214, median badge 25%. The other 17 are micellar or cleansing waters: median price Rs. 392, median badge 10%. The dearer category is the one that barely discounts, and the deepest badge in the entire read, 51%, is on a Rs. 159 scrub. That split is the page's central finding and it is arithmetic on Nykaa's own published fields.
Nykaa's listing titles on this shelf almost never state a pack size — two of the 35 do. Without a size, a per-ml or per-gram figure cannot be computed honestly, so this page does not compute one, and a cheaper tube here is not demonstrably better value than a dearer one. Check the size on the product page before comparing two prices.
All 35 listings publish a star average and a rating count, and the counts run from 2 to 378,989. Two listings in the read carry more than 300,000 ratings; one seated listing carries 36. Every rating on this page appears with its count beside it, and no listing is ranked on stars.
Nothing was opened, applied or patch-tested, and no claim is made about tan removal, brightening, exfoliation, pore clearing, whitening or skin type suitability. Several of these listing images carry the brand's own marketing claims; those are the seller's words, reproduced as part of the product photo, and are not endorsed here. Ingredient and percentage claims in titles are quoted, not verified. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, a clinician or pharmacist is a better guide than a price page.
Nykaa's own search for these terms returns a silicone facial scrubber tool at Rs. 76 and a body wash at Rs. 232. The tool is excluded from the seated picks because it is a device rather than a scrub; the body wash is seated with a note saying what it is. Both remain inside the 35-listing shelf statistics, because removing them would quietly change the medians.
Across 18 scrub and exfoliator listings read on 14 November 2026, the median was Rs. 214, with most of the shelf between about Rs. 150 and Rs. 300. Across the full 35-listing read — scrubs plus micellar and cleansing waters — prices ran Rs. 76 to Rs. 1,403 and 22 of the 35 sold under Rs. 300. The cheapest face scrub in the read was Rs. 149; the deepest discount was 51% on a Rs. 159 tube. Nykaa's titles rarely state pack size, so none of these figures is a per-ml price — check the size on the product page before comparing two tubes.
Because of how the two halves of this shelf are priced, not because of anything about the products. The 17 micellar and cleansing water listings in this read have a median price of Rs. 392 and a median badge of 10%; the 18 scrubs have a median price of Rs. 214 and a median badge of 25%. Five listings badge exactly 5%, and all five are cleansing waters — three of them from a single house, at Rs. 271, Rs. 294 and Rs. 1,062. Nothing in the micellar half of the read exceeds 30% off, while four scrubs badge above 40%. Stating a reference price above a selling price is ordinary retail practice and no claim is made that any figure here is false.
In this read, a Rs. 164 papaya scrub with 334,785 ratings and a Rs. 149 scrub with 138,384. The single most-rated listing of any kind in the read is a Rs. 1,062 cleansing water with 378,989 ratings. At the other end, one seated listing has 36 ratings and the thinnest tile in the full read has two. A high count is evidence that many people bought it, not evidence that it suits your skin, and this page did not open, apply or test any of these. Where a brand sells the same product in two sizes, each size collects its own separate rating pool, so neither count describes the other.
The badge is not the question — the rupee price is. Five listings in this read badge exactly 5%, and one of them, at Rs. 189, costs the same as a scrub badged 10% and less than 13 other listings on the shelf. Meanwhile the 51% tile at Rs. 159 and a 12% tile at Rs. 166 sit Rs. 7 apart. The badge is computed against each seller's own stated reference price, so it compares a product to itself and never to the one beside it. On this shelf the only number that compares two listings is what you pay, and even that is not a value comparison without a pack size.
Check the pack size first. Nykaa's titles on this shelf almost never state it, so a Rs. 299 tube and a Rs. 164 tube may hold very different amounts; no per-ml figure appears anywhere on this page for exactly that reason. Check the rating count, not just the stars — counts in this read run from two to 378,989. Read the ingredient list on the product page rather than the claim printed on the product photo; percentages such as "3% AHA" are quoted from titles here and were not verified. And if your skin is sensitive, reactive or under treatment, ask a clinician or pharmacist — nothing on this page is skincare advice.
