Review - Nivea Sparkling White Pore Minimizing Oil Control Foam

Today I'm going to review about a cleanser I've just started using recently. I've had this cleanser since forever, I wondered why I haven't been using it? Also, my skin started peeling/flaking off again since the weather is getting super hot nowadays. So I stopped using my Melaleuca cleanser which is too drying for me. It was already running out, anyway. Hehe.

While going for a vacation a couple of weeks ago, I brought it with me since it's of a smaller size and is travel convenient. I'm glad I started using this because it's definitely one of the best cleansers I've used!

Packaging :
The scent reminded me of the fragrance that always emanates out of the Lovely Lace shop. It also sorta smelled like baby powder. A calming scent, I would say. :D But those who find Lovely Lace's fragrance annoying may think that the aroma is a little bit overwhelming. For me, it's still acceptable :) It has a soothing effect on my mind, just like aromatherapy.

Review :
It forms a rich foam lather that's rather thicker and creamier than the usual foam cleansers.
After rinsing off, my face feels squeaky clean and all the oils on my face are washed off completely. I really like the feeling of having an extremely clean face, but I heard that it's not good if a face wash leaves your face squeaky clean as it removes all the oils on your face, including the natural oils that prevents skin from drying out. Even so, my face did not become overly drying nor skin flaking off. So, I guess this product is less drying than my previous Melaleuca cleanser. 

My pores, especially those on my nose, definitely became less visible and my blackheads were reduced. One thing I realize after using this cleanser was that my nose became shiny! Haha. Is it weird? It's not shiny because of oily, but it's because my nose is just so clean after rinsing and drying my face! 

Well, I didn't really notice any whitening changes, they may be masked by the effects of my whitening skincare routine! :D Anyway, I myself really like this cleanser! I should have started using this a long time ago, since it also has acne prevention technology. For now, I seldom have acne except for the time of the month, so I can't really comment about the acne prevention effects. But I can say that my acne definitely pop out less often after using this product! I absolutely love this cleanser, especially the scent!

My Verdict :

Pros :

• Leaves skin squeaky clean and oil-free
• Pores visibly reduced

Cons :

• None

What do you think about this product? I'd love to know! :D
