Nivea is one of my go-to brands for body care products. They often have BOGO promos so I make sure I'm able to stock up on staples such as deodorants (his and her's) and body lotions. Recently, there's been some update on their facial skin care products and I couldn't resist trying them out because they are quiet affordable and knowing that it's from Nivea, I'm confident about the quality of the products. Check them out after the jump!

Nivea Acne Clear MicellAIR Cleanser 0% Alcohol
Price: P 99.00, 125 mL
What Is It?
Made for acne-prone skin, with its Advanced Micellar Technology, it deeply cleanses dirt, oil, and even hard-to-remove make up and brings back moisture for clear, baby soft and smooth skin. It also contains Magnolia Bark Extracts that act as an anti-inflammatory agent and which also helps prevent new acne from forming by increasing skin cells resistance to external stresses and inflammation.

My Take
It seems that every skin care brand is jumping on the Micellar Water bandwagon. I'm down for it though. More competition means more innovation and often it brings the prices down too. ;) But of course we have to be critical. Getting cheaper products doesn't always mean getting the best deal because all products have pros and cons. 

True to its claims, Nivea MicellAIR Water really feels gentle on the skin but packs a punch when it comes to dirt and makeup removal. There's no stingy or sticky feeling when using it. I've tried other Micellar Waters that do not feel clean enough because I feel that there is residue left by the micellar water itself. Although I prefer washing my face with a foam cleanser after using a micellar water, if it comes to a point where I am too tired or too lazy at the end of the day, I would say that it would be okay for me to not double cleanse because using the Nivea MicellAIR Water already makes my skin feel clean enough. But it's for just such occasions, okay. I still prefer double cleansing. :)
Nivea MicellAIR Water Benefits, Details, Description and Ingredients List
I didn't break out while using this, which is always a plus in my book. It didn't dry out my skin either. My skin does feel soft and smooth after using it. The only hitch that I experienced while using it was that it had a bit of difficulty in removing mascaras. But otherwise, I love this product.

Nivea Daily Essentials Double Effect Eye Make-up Remover
Price: around Php 130.00 for 125 mL; I'm not sure about the price ha, but it wasn't over Php 150.00
What Is It?
A makeup remover specifically formulated for the eye area. It contains cornflower extract and sunflower seed oil and promises to remove waterproof mascara and makeup.

My Take
I may have just been wishful thinking when I said that it would be great if Nivea would also come up with a makeup remover exclusively for the eye area. And voila! Here it is! Unlike the Nivea MicellAIR Water which comes in a clear formula, this one is blue-tinged and you can see where the watery and the oily components meet, or end, depending on how you'd like to view it. LOL. But it's best if you shake it to mix them up.

I could bore you out with words but instead of doing that, I would just show you a photo comparing the cleaning capabilities of the two products when used in the eye area. On your left it the cotton pad with the Nivea MicellAIR Water and on your right is the cotton pad with the Nivea Eye Make-up Remover. I had a mascara on plus I also smudged some dark eyeshadow. Needless to say, the Nivea Eye Make-up Remover is the clear winner.

Would I recommend it? Yes
Would I buy it again? Yes, but not for the mean time, as I would love to try other eye makeup removers, especially the one from Garnier.

My Take
What exactly do you look for in a cleanser? It has to be able to do its job of course, which is to take off the dirt and grime at the end of the day. However, I've become wary about trying out facial cleanser ever since I started experiencing some breakouts whenever I try out a new product. Until this day, I still don't know if which one in the ingredients list is making my skin react that way. So I'm always "fingers crossed" whenever I try out a new product, especially a facial cleanser because it's a make or break situation. 

To cut the chase, let's just say that the Nivea Acne Clear Whip Foam have made it to my "Facial Cleansers That Do Not Make Me Breakout List". Thank God! What I love to do when using this product is to form a foam first on my hand by mixing it with water and then I just let it lather on my wet face. I love using this after removing my makeup with the two products mentioned above and they really go hand in hand in the cleaning process. By the time I put on my toner, there's barely any dirt left. True to its promise, my skin feels thoroughly cleansed without feeling dry. That's probably the negative aspect about it: my skin feels baby soft and smooth that I can't help but touch it a lot.

These are good products indeed and they are all very affordable.
Oh, I'm running low on my MicellAIR Water, I may have to repurchase in a few.
