For those who have been following my blog, you know how i battle with acne & how some products break me out. Looking for products that will work on me is a very trying job because it's really a hit or miss.
I try to avoid whitening products but since i have bad blemishes due to my acne, i have to find a way to even out my skin tone. *sigh*
Acne, tantanan mo na ko! (Acne, please leave me alone!) I am already 26 but i still break out every now & then.
I have been using this ever since my skin changed from oily to combination/oily. At first i'm hesitant to do so because that was the time when i stopped using anything on my face. I fear that it would make me break out or anything, but i'm glad i took the step because my skin agrees with this!
I'm sure you have already seen this in the department stores but you might be wondering what is the difference of this as opposed to tons of products that promises to whiten, hydrate & protect the skin. So what made me give this product a try? It's mainly because of hyaluronic acid!
I'll tell you what is hyaluronic acid later, for now, you can take a look at the description at the back...
This is what the product is claiming...
What does it do?
1. Whitening from inside and outside
White Crystallites naturally reflecting micro pigments Inner Whitening:
White Pure Actives which regulate melanin production to support the skin’s lightening process and reduce appearance of dark spots
Soy Extract supports repair and renewal process for fairer complexion

2. Boosts skin hydration: contains Hyaluronic Acid which instantly boosts skin’s moisture promoting a smoother, translucent yet oil-free appearance
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Molecules found in the connective tissue of the skin and plays an important role in maintaining volume. With their moisture binding capacity, they plump up the skin from the inside out and make it appear smooth.
3. Protection against sun damage and redarkening
§ advanced SPF30 PA++ UVA and UVB filter system protects your skin against the appearance of dark spots due to sun exposure.
For the product itself...
An opaque bottle...
not really that good because you won't know how much product is still left. You only get to know how much only by weight. I wish it has a little clear part at the side so that i would know when is the time to buy for a new one.
Oh well, i can easy over look that since it's in an airless pump bottle that makes dispensing the product easy. It's nice if all skincare products are in a pump bottle because it's hygienic... plus the fact that this is airless so it would make the product last longer!
It's just like your usual moisturizer that is in a white fluid form... quite runny! But one pump already goes a long way! You can really feel the hydration that this product provides!
Since we are already talking about its texture, let's get to know the benefits that this product is offering. As what i said, it has Hyaluronic Acid.
Our skin produces hyaluronic acid which keeps skin moisturized & firm. Like a sponge, it attracts & binds water within the cells of the skin to reveal a supple & firm skin!
As we age, HA production lessens & our skin becomes dehydrated. As we age, the body begins to produce less HA while the environment impact of radiation, chemicals, poor nutrition continues to take its toll.
Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid:
- Since it is a natural substance found in skin, it is easily accepted by your skin.
- Though gentle, it is very effective in hydration –it can absorb approximately 1,000 times its own weight inside the extracellular spaces within the matrix of the skin!
- Plumps skin and enhances the volume to create that same firm yet soft & supple skin
- Maintains collagen and elastin levels
- Contains a low molecular weight to penetrate and be absorbed by the skin faster!
It's packed with all those good things for you skin, but maybe what you're thinking is that this would be heavy since it has SPF. We know how uncomfy most sunblocks are. They're heavy & sticky! But what i like about this is that this is really light on the skin! It's oil-free & water-based!
It will feel a bit "oily" at first so you have to wait for a couple of minutes for your skin to absorb it. You can see how it looks with it on. It's not really oily, i guess dewy is a better term to describe it.
It has a mild "sweet" scent. I guess that it is Nivea's signature scent, if there is such a thing because i think this is something that i have smelled at lots of times. Since i have been a Nivea user, i guess i got so familiar with it already.
I have been using this for months & i'm happy to announce that i have not experienced a bad reaction to this product. Yay! A product that my skin loves!
Honestly, i'm not sure about the skin lightening because i am using my favorite Orange Peel & L Glutathione soap together with this.
I always keep this in my bag because it has SPF 30 PA++ so this is really something that my skin needs specially when i go out!
With all the good things that you are getting from this, paying Php400 is definitely worth it!
Let's summarize it...
PROS:
- doesn't feel heavy
- has SPF30 PA++
- comes in a hygienic packaging
- locally available
- quite affordable
- can be used by different skin types
CONS:
- you won't know how much product is left
Will i buy it?
Yes! I will!
This is something that i have recommended to my friends already!
If you are looking for a light moisturizer that is not heavy on the budget, please take a look at this. This is something that i have tried & tested. It earns my seal of approval!
I am so loving Nivea products!
I have repurchased a couple of products because they are really worth keeping!
Hope you all are enjoying the week so far!
Have a great day, ladies!
Jaa ne~!
