Nivea Pure Effect Total Face Cleanup-Review

It’s my first review  for Nivea Pure Effect Total Face Cleanup . I tried this recently and found it amazing.It can basically be used as a face wash, a scrub as well as a mask and it does all that in like in 5 minutes.

Ingredients:

A long list of chemicals has been mentioned on the pack.

Price:

Rs. 99 for 50 ml

Regime as mentioned:

Step 1: Apply the product to moistened face by smoothly massaging in upward circles focusing on forehead, nose & chin, avoiding the eye area.
Step 2: Spread evenly across face & leave for 3-4 minutes.
Step 3: Rinse off with lukewarm water to get the perfect complexion.

It feels like a thin non-creamy mask, which has these very tiny particles that work as a scrub. You are supposed to apply it all over your face, scrub and then spread it evenly like a mask. It dries up in about 3 minutes and then you can wash it off with lukewarm water and you are good to go.It works real good and leaves your skin soft and smooth

This is a good  product is for people with Normal to Oily skin. If you  have dry skin  you might experience certain amount of dryness.
All in all, a super product especially if you are looking for a 5 Minutes Face Cleanup session at home
