Nivea Sparkling White Facial Foam Review

Here's another facial cleanser review for you!

I would like to post this before my Flawless RG Skincare Kit journey. I felt that I should write it in the order that I use the products so that you can see the progress.

You see, my number one skin woe is acne. Lately, I've been breaking out badly than before. There was even a time when, during the past two months, I got more depressed because of the painful pimples sprouting on my face. I realized that I really cannot do anything about it because my hormones are imbalanced. Looking at the bright side, I tell myself that I am lucky, because my flare outs are not as bad as the others who suffers from PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). At this point, while I still have not made an appointment with the OB-Gyne, I would have to make do with the best thing that I can: taking care of my skin.

Enter whitening products, acne solutions,etc!!!

So, I got this Nivea Sparkling White Facial Foam from the Woman on Top Loot I won from Ms. Martha last June. 

Sorry, I am not sure whether I was able to take a photo of it, or I forgot... =(

When I ran out of my Garnier Pure Active Multi-Action Scrub which, by the way, I reviewed here, I didn't think of purchasing another tube because I got plenty of stuff to use from the giveaways that I won. I thought I'd grab a gentle cleanser that would help lighten my acne scars. And what's a better way to lighten acne scars than to use a whitening product, right? =D


Now let's go to the review:

What it claims...

According to Nivea Philippines:

NIVEA Sparkling White Acne Oil Control

NIVEA VISAGE Sparkling White Acne Oil Control contains 2x smaller molecule of:
- Acne Reduction Technology that cleans deeper into pores by effectively lifting dirt and oil which is the cause of acne
- Skin Nutrient Formula that helps lighten acne marks and dark spots. 

The 5 main actions of NIVEA VISAGE Sparkling White Acne Oil Control Foam on different impurities (oil, acne marks, dark spots, enlarged pores and dirt) are the following:

1. Cleans deeper into pores to remove dirt & 90% of oil
2. Acne Reduction Technology helps prevent acne
3. Skin Nutrient Formula helps lighten dark spots & blemishes
4. Minimizes appearance of pores
5. Smoothens skin without dry feeling

How to use:

     Lather into a rich foam and use like a normal facial cleanser.

What I love about it...

• It smells heavenly! It smells better than Garnier Pure Active Multi-Action Scrub. ^__^
• Lives up to its promise of lightening the acne marks.
• Surprisingly, it does clean the skin! I love cleansers with beads on them because personally, they make me feel more clean. But this light and really foamy cleanser changed the way I view foam cleansers! I feel so squeaky clean after each wash! =D
• Made my pores look and feel finer.
• Gave me a fair and glowing complexion. I love how healthy looking my skin became. ^__^
• Didn't dry out my skin. 
• It is cheap! 

What I don't love about it...

• None that I could think of. =)

Price:

   Only Php 125 for a 100g tube and  Php 75 for a 50g tube. So affordable!

Where to buy?

    I believe this is available in supermarkets and Watson's nationwide.

Whom would I recommend this to?

    I'd recommend this to girls who are suffering from acne, has oily skin, enlarged pores and acne marks. This is also great for those who simply want to maintain a pure and fair complexion. ^__^

By July 19th, my face has definitely made a glowing change. In the above photo, I am happy to say that I skipped wearing makeup on that day. I think I only swiped on lipgloss to moisturize my lips! ♥♥♥

In the afternoon, I stuffed myself with pandecoco... hahaha! Anyways, I wasn't wearing makeup here. See how it transformed my skin? =D

Tips:

• Although it is not drying, you still have to use a moisturizer to lock in needed moisture. Dried up skin also results to acne, so stay moisturized. Follow the Cleanse-Tone-Moisturize rule. ^__~
• For best results, use it with the NIVEA Sparkling White UV Blocker to protect skin from the harmful rays of the sun. Or, you may simply use your trusty sunblock. =)
• Don't only leave fighting acne to this product. Do your part, too! Avoid doing things that would cause you to have a sprouting zit! =D

Have you tried this cleanser? What are your personal thoughts about it?

I have sorted out my backlogs and hopefully, I could post all of them sooner. ^__^
