Keeping it simple - Nivea Daily Essentials review for dry and sensitive skin!

Review of the Nivea Daily Essentials range... Products I've tried :) 

So after years of battling acne, I finally found that the way to keep those nasty problem areas at bay is to KEEP. IT. SIMPLE!  There are so many harsh 'acne' products out there, and while the prescribed ones really do help severe breakouts, general daily skincare should always be gentle (in my opinion). 

I've been trying three Nivea products lately: 



Sensitive 3 in 1 Micellar Cleansing Water
Double effect eye make-up remover
Rich moisturising day cream - spf15 

Before going in with my cleansers (usually origins or superdrug naturally radiant hot cloth cleanser) I like to take all the grime off the surface with the Micellar cleansing water, it feels lovely and refreshing on the skin. It's not very good for eye make up like it suggests, but we have a separate product for that anyway! 

After the cleansing water I would go in with the double effect eye make up remover. It's one of the ones with a layer of oil which you need to shake before use! I was finding that the Micellar water wasn't enough on it's own to remove my waterproof mascara and I had run out f eye make up remover. This one is really good, takes the mascara away with minimal rubbing which is great around the sensitive eye area....

The winner from the three products I have is the mosituriser hands down. It's sooooo moisturising and lovely to apply to the skin! It's spf15 which is great for daily use, but I find that I enjoy using it so much that I apply it at night because I'm out of my night cream. It's silky smooth to apply and not greasy! It's for dry and sensitive skin and I would definitely say that it gets rid of any dry patches and there's no sensitivity issues - it also smells lovely with almond oil :) 

That's it for my Daily Essentials review! Really loving these products at the moment - and they're a little cheaper in Boots I think so grab them while you can! 

Have you tried the daily essentials range?
