Nivea Bye-bye Spot! Night Care Review

NIVEA BYE-BYE SPOT! NIGHT CARE

I bought the Nivea Bye-bye Spot! Night Care the other day at chemist warehouse for I think about 7 or 8 dollars. I have bought the Nivea Bye-bye Spot! Stick and was disappointed but I was still curious with this product and thought I'd give it a try. And man am I glad I did.

I've used it for 4 days and I'm nearly pimple free. On the first night I put it on I felt my face afterwards. My face has never felt so smooth and I'm not overexaggerating. Like a babys bottom. So smooth. I thought to myself at the time, If this doesn't work I'm still gonna use this as a night moisturiser it is great!!! The next morning a pimple had arrived, but it already had started to come up before I even purchased this product. I had 2 pimples forming before I bought this. So on the 2nd morning my 2nd pimple arrived. But no new ones? No bumps. On the 3rd morning I looked in the mirror and smiled at my much smoother and pimple free complection and today was my fourth morning and yet again pimple free!!!

So what it claims to do is reduces skin sebum. Which is one of the main causes of spots. And it has provitamin B5 which sooths the skin, and boy it does. I am pimple prone and I take extremely good care of my skin. This is by far the best thing I've tried that helps get rid of my pimples.

I can't wait to see what this product does for me in the long run, but I most certainly will continue to use it and buy it again. So I completely recommend it. 5/5! I will hopefully update in a couple of weeks with how the results are going for me then.

Formula 10.0.6 Products Review

Along with my nivea products for my skincare I also use Formula 10.0.6 which also doesn't test on animals. I know this because they are associted with Bonne Bell. And they don't test on animals, I already read up on them, it says it clearly on the website.

ONE SMOOTH OPERATOR

My Review: One smooth operator has zinc, oat and pumice as it's main ingredients. The first time i used it. Man it was so harsh. I assume that it's from the pumice. But despite how harsh it was it actually gave me some good results. I would not recommend this daily, but I would recommend using it like you would use as exfoliating. I use it 2-3 times a week. Also before you use it splash your face with water so its really wet and wet your fingers. It makes it feel less harsh. 3/5





SO TOTALLY CLEAN

My Review: So Totally Clean claims to be a 2 in 1 cleanser and toner. It's meant to be a deep pore cleanser. Okay so since using this I have to say it hasn't done anything to my pores which I was kind of disappointed in. But what I was impressed with was how it evens out your skin tone noticably. After about 10 minutes when my face wasn't red anymore and it was relaxed my skin was A LOT less pale. It had a nice glow to it and the red and blotchiness was a lot less noticable. This is a great product for when your having a bad skin day or just in general. It also is really big and you only need a tiny bit of it. I would completely recommend this product, but maybe not everday so I use this every 2nd day and use my Nivea toner on every the other day. 4/5



RESCUE ME: ACNE BLEMISH TREATMENT

My Review: So I've tried  few products for my pimples. But this has been by far the most sucessful. It says to only use it a couple of times a day but I use it more. It stops pimples in their tracks. And as you continue to use it the pimples disappear. It is very important to not use this on top of makeup and to use it before bed. And if you do have an open cut, as in you've squeezed your pimple (which is bad, but in some cases you have to, very rarely, I do have to admit). Okay when you put it on the cut it makes it disappear so fast. It really helps and is the best thing for cuts :). I would recommend this because it's the best thing so far I've ever tried. But unfortunately it doesn't really work on full blown pimples that well. It reduces them a little but this is better for pimples which are starting to come up that you know by next morning will be fully blown. 4/5.

Skin care reviews for Nivea

Hey guys. This is my very first proper post. Excited? So one of my favourite skin care ranges is from Nivea. I idolise the brand which was inspired to my by lilcammo93. She's on youtube, check her out she's really good. Anyways Nivea's great because its affordable, it's a lot cheaper than the other brands and a lot of its products are non comedogenic, which means that they don't clog pores and most of the products are also dermatologically approved. Finally the most inspiring! They don't test on animals!!! I commend them for this! So this is my nivea range review on the products I currently have from them. I promise these are my honest reviews.

NIVEA REFRESHING CLEANSING LOTION


My Review: This is one of the first products that I bought. It's probably one of the most needed thing for my face. Its in a lotion form. I've found some which are in a form thats liquid, like toner and I don't like them as much. This is a great product which is good for sensitive skin like mine. It makes your skin soft and is great to use after you've exfoliated, used a face scrub, etc. It's also great for washing of makeup. I use this product day and night. It comes in a 200 ml bottle which is surely enough! I would recommend this. 5/5.




NIVEA YOUNG STAY CLEAR PURIFYING TONER
         


My Review: Okay so it claims to prevent spots and blackheads but honestly it hasn't. I don't belive that's the job of the toner. It's to smoothen out your complection. I'm not saying I hate the product, for a toner it's okay, I'm going to continue to use it. Plus there is a great advantage. It is alcohol free! Not many toners have that! I think it's an okay toner and I would recommend it. But to be completely honest I'm not that fussed about toners. 3/5 




NIVEA OIL FREE MOISTURISING FLUID  



My Review: Again this is dermatologically approved and doesn't clog pores. Thats good. It's also got witch hazel in it which claims to help with blemishes. I loved this product from as soon as I started using it. It's great, light weight, doesn't leave your face oily because it has no oil in it. It just feels good on your skin. I really love this product because it doesn't dry out my skin so thats a big advantage. The only down-side I see to the product is it is quite small. I mean it's 100 ml which isn't bad, but a bigger quantity would make me happier. I would really recommend this 5/5.



NIVEA BYE-BYE SPOT! SOS STICK


     My Review: So I have my fair share of spots. And like many other people I was fed up with them. So I bought this. It's small. Very convenient to carry around. Unfortunately it's about the only thing its good for. If you have a pimple that's sore for instance you know that pimple the one you try to pop, it's stubborn and you end up with tears and a scrunched up nose from. Well that's what it feels like when applying this thing. You have to press it extrememly hard on the pimple! And for those of you who have had a pimple that hurts to touch, imagine trying the stab something onto it hard! So for the actual product. It's got salicylic acid in it which is meant to dry out the pimple. I think not. I've tried it on many of my pimples and its dont virtually nothing. I wouldn't recommend it. 0/5.


I have more Nivea products which I have recently gotten and I will hopefully review them soon. I'd rather give a review after a few days rather than after one night. Please comment if you liked this or if you have any question or even would like to tell me about your own experience with some of these products.

About me

The Blogging Starts!

Hi guys. If your reading this then theres a chance that your into the same things as me which is great! Heres some things about me. I'm a extremely proud vegetarian (not vegan, I do eat eggs). I just had to clarify that because I get asked that a lot! I am very interested in makeup, skin care and hair styling. I am also highly against animal testing and I absolutely try my hardest not to use products that are not tested on animals. Yes, no matter how good the product is, I still will refuse to use it regardless of how good it is! It is wrong and inhumane.

I am currently 14 turning 15, can't wait! And through my past and future experiences I would like to share with you and hopefully through this I can help you. I will be reviewing things on my blogs and I would like to point out that I DO NOT get paid or bribed for this. These companies would have most likely never have heard of me. But surely I've heard of them and if their good enough, or in some cases bad enough. They'll be in my blogs.
