I usually use this face wash in the morning just to give it a little wake up, as I don't like to use anything to harsh first thing. It is not bad for a cheapy drugstore buy, its creamy, doesn't irritate the skin and is also very moisturising. I wouldn't say it does anything in the way of blemish clearing/prevention but it does not claim to do that on the bottle so I guess I can't comment on that! It also has a very light fragrance that is not too overwhelming, which I like as some face washes can be a little too much. Have already gone out and bought another and would recommend!

I love it!
I always thought I have oily skin hence have been buying OILY/COMBINATION skin products and I still had blemishes. I used to buy expensive facial cleansers and moisturisers too. Fortunately, I have been browsing Nivea and found good reviews for it so I decided to buy.

It is so cheap and for the value it gave me, I got more than what I paid for.

I have not loved any cleanser as much as this. I always have blemishes (whiteheads) which are so embarrassing. This has definitely reduced the occurrence and my pores have been smaller and I don't even need makeup now.

Will definitely stick to this :)

like this. I am a huge nivea fan. I love their stuff. This cleared up many of my little whiteheads and pimples. Used in conjunction with Thayers Rose Water and Witch Hazel Toner, followed by Nivea Soft, my skin is clearing up nicely. But remember this a gentle, mild cleanser not for super oily makeup-covered skin! Take off your makeup first!

I have dry skin especially during the winter so I decided to try this product along with the nivea moisturizer. I used it once and developped little itchy bumps on my forehead so I stopped using it and went back to my old cleanser. I decided to try it out again yesterday and the same thing happened so I don't think a will be using let along buying this product again.

This is a great cleanser. I use the matching toner as well. In the morning its great to refresh the skin. At night I always precleanse with jojoba oil and then rub this all over my face and leave it on like a mask. Then i rinse it off and use the toner. The toner is so gentle without alcohol and has glycerin and castor seed oil. Great for drier weather when skin needs more moisture. I have oily skin and this doesnt leave my skin oily at all! I love and trust nivea. the matching moisturizer is good too and I love the scent. Definately will repurchase

I think that this is a great drugstore buy! Even when I pour it out of the bottle onto my hands, it has a very creamy and rich texture. On the face, it feels just as nice and gives a very clean sensation.

While I agree that it is not the best at make-up removal, if you use a make-up removing oil cleanser beforehand, this works as a great second cleanser to remove any dirt and residue left behind. Makes me feel squeaky clean every time with no tight or dry feeling left behind!

Also, having combination skin which can be prone to breakouts at a certain time of the month (ahem, you know when!) this neither leaves my skin feeling dry and flaky or breaks me out.

Overall, I'm definitely getting this again!

I use this product everytime I shower and it works like a regular face wash. I don't notice anything new when I use it so I can't comment too much on it. It cleans my face. I'm not sure if it exfoliates that much, but it's mild so I guess it is good for sensitive skin. My face doesn't get dry so I'm not sure if it dries out skin. My face doesn't get dry from using this, but I also use lotion/cream afterwards so it prevents it from drying out. Other than that, I'm sure there are other products that do the samething.

It wasn't as good as other cleansers that I've used....
Even though it's for sensitive skin, it still irritated my skin -_-
I don't think I'll buy again~

Great creamy face wash for dry/sensitive skin. Does not make my skin break in spots or irritate it. It seems that Nivea has stopped making this face wash (at least in Europe).

I really like this. It doesn't further dry out my already sensitive dehydrated skin but I sometimes get a tight feeling after using this. I can also rub it on my face for a bit before rinsing to make sure I remove all my make up. It smells like every other nivea product, not unpleasant or overpowering. This is my usual cleanser and I probably won't be changing anytime soon.

I am always on the lookout for a non-foaming gentle cream face wash to use on winter mornings and spotted this at my local Drogeriemarkt. I have oily/combo skin which is quite sensitive and suffers terribly through European winters. The Nivea Cream Face Wash was a wonderful surprise for the price, I recently purchased another. This is a thick non-greasy cream with tiny soluble pink beads inside, Aloe Vera and Chamomile. I apply it to damp skin, massage and rinse off. It leaves my skin cleansed without that tight feeling I normally get from a face wash. I cannot vouch for it's ability to remove heavy make-up but it works great in the morning! After one whole tube I have suffered no adverse side-effects, no more spots than usual (I do get those on occasion) and no allergies.

I bought this once the cold weather hit and my skin was feeling dry from my regular cleanser. This seems to clean off makeup and is gentle without leaving a heavy residue. I prefer the clean feeling I get from something that lathers but it’s not what my skin needs during the winter months. This would definitely be too creamy in summer for my skin but for winter it’s excellent for the price (AUD10).

I just recently purchased this cleanser at a local drug store since it was the only one the shelf cleanser I could find for dry skin. I'm sure as most women will find, my skin gets super dry in the winter time, so I usually need a creamier cleanser to help keep my skin a tad more moisturized than usual. I absolutely loved this product the first time I used it...it had gentle but great exfoliation (for my flakies) and it removes make-up in a snap. I used to be a devout believer in the Aveeno exfoliating cleanser, but I really do think the Nivea is better for drier skin.

I really liked the feel of this cleanser. I only used it as my morning cleanser so I;m not sure how it does with makeup removal. I would definately buy it again

I like this cleanser. I have had bad reactions to Olay foaming cleanser for sensitive skin; cetaphil, and nuetrogenas extra gentle cleanser. However, my face likes this cleanser. I also like that there are exfoliating beads. If don't want the exfoliation, just don't scrub and pat the cleanser on. I havenot used it long term and will update.

It does not seem to leave a film.

I used to love this product. Now I find that it doesnt really cleanse my skin. I still have makeup smeared under my eyes, and toner takes off the rest.

It didn't actually do much but left an oilyness to the face. I didn't feel clean after using this.
I have dry skin, but i wasn't looking for blocked pores!

Pros: creamy, gentle, cheap

cons: the scent is overpowering and it doen't remove make up well.
And it contains mineral oil which clogs pores.

Won't buy again.

This is a wonderful cream cleanser for Day Sensitive Skin. It contains aloe vera and camomil. Within are tiny bubbles which are filled with moisturizers. When my face is extremely dry in Winter I use this and have always had good results. This is a wash gel that I always come back to. The price is also very attractive. Eur 5 for 150 ml...can't dot better than this.
