Nivea Pure Effect Total Face Clean Up Review

Nivea Pure Effect Total Face Clean Up

Hello There :)

Summers have been so muggy and harsh. Just when I felt that the heat was giving away to cool summer nights, a heat wave starts to sweep the country. I feel really bad for those affected by the draught and the water crisis is so real, guys; we ought to take the time out to pause and decide as a country or as a collective world as to where this is all heading. I am very careful with water and the environment. Please try and avoid wastage as much as possible. In that way, even if it may be the least possible way, we can ensure that all of us get our daily supply of water.

Skin care has been my top priority during this heat crisis. I have been doubling up on products, toners, rose water, cotton swabs and you get the drill!
I've run through a few face wash tubes because I do not like getting all muggy and grimey. And I used to use a scrub weekly once but I finished this product from Nivea in these three months. I think I have a few things to say about it too.

Packaging

I really like this kind of packaging. It comes in a white tube with a powder turquoise blue cap.
The base of the cap is broad enough to enable the product to stand in your vanity or bath easily.
The flip open cap mechanism helps ease out just the right amount of product with a bare squeeze of the tube.
The only minus is that you can't see how much product is left behind but I pretty much get to know when the weight of the tube starts to diminish.
I cannot find fault with the packaging in any other way, infact I have to say the attractive white and blue look made me reach for the product and grab it.

Performance

The product is really thick and has a paste like consistency. It has a comforting smell, like some of the nivea
creams.
It is quite granular with little powder blue scrub beads. You can use it gently and in a circular motion especially around pores and blackhead areas, your nose which maybe the problem area for most of you.
It is not very harsh and hence did not break my skin out.
Feels comfortable enough. On days that I had the luxury of time, I would just leave it on as a face pack before my bath and wash it off in the shower.
I did not find it give any enhanced sort of glow, nor did my blackheads reduce and when it comes to pores, I think it's just alright.
It's definitely a nice scrub but not the best I have tried. Definitely has a gentler formula though than most in the market. It does not lather at all. It's more creamy, like you are wiping your face off with cream but not that creamy either that it leaves a residue behind. None of that.
I think it's a multipurpose product and I like to take it when I travel, negates the need to take a face pask and a seperate scrub, face wash etc. All in one.
