NIVEA Daily Essentials Refreshing Cleansing Lotion Review

I was gifted this by a friend. At the time I was concerned with my younger brother using all my expensive skincare so I put this in the bathroom for us to share. I use this in the morning and it does a nice, gentle job of cleansing my face. That being said it's not outstanding but for a cheap cleanser and those on a budget it's an okay option. It leaves my skin feeling clean and slightly moisturized after using it. The scent is the neutral signature Nivea scent, it takes me back to when I was younger and using Nivea cream and products since I didn't know a lot and was very basic about my skincare. I haven't had any allergic reactions to this and it's been really gentle. I think this is a good cheap cream cleanser if you're just starting out on a skincare routine.

I have only used this about 3 times as it just doesnt fit the bill at all for me. It didnt do well at removing makeup, my face didnt feel clean, in fact it felt really greasy afterwards. I havnt used it long enough to see if it helps much with breakouts but i highly doubt it sine my skin doesnt even feel clean. Not going to use this, will just leave in the bathroom for guests to use if they want to.

I have used this product on and off for several years now. It doesn't do anything spectacular but it does what a cleanser should do, cleanse. It removes basic makeup well enough, and keeps my face feeling soft. Unfortunately however it does leave a sticky feeling, which is why I am so on and off about this product. It also doesn't cleanse very deeply into my pores which can be ok for a quick clean in the morning, but can leave me reaching for a different cleanser at night on particularly active days.

The Nivea range hasnt really been to consistent for my liking, this product is quite heavy and kind of smears across my skin rather then applies smoothy, not really for me I aint a fan of the texture, I do think for the price it is understandible but I wouldnt buy again

I'm not too sure why there's so many negative reviews on this product because I love it! In fact I'm on my third bottle!

It does everything I want in a cleanser, it removes makeup and cleans your pores without being harsh. It's super moisturising and doesn't leave your skin feeling stripped and dry. After I use it my skin is baby butt smooth but I still feel refreshed and clean.

It's affordable, easily accessible (you can get it from most supermarkets and Farmers) nice packaging, easy to use and doesn't break out or irritate my skin

Nivea’s an old family favourite brand that I remember mum using . I recal trying a moisturiser from them and loving it .

This comes in a white bottle with labelling. Consistency is creamy smells like soft musk . On application I’m able to remove most of my make up except my liquid liner .

Overall I think it’s priced fairly. Would be a great starting cleanser for a teenager that’s starting out with skincare . I can see myself buying it again for my daughter.

Fabulous gentle face wash. I use it morning and night and it effectively removes my makeup each time. I have rosacea so my skin is very sensitive, and this face wash is amazing! I have just bought my second bottle as my first ran out, and will keep buying this one.

Have been using this for a few years now and having switched a couple of times to other brands during this time I keep going back to this makeup remover/cleanser.

The smell is okay - nothing bad or great about it - but it leaves your skin feeling so soft and refreshed. I use this with cotton pads to remove the makeup which I find removes most of it, I then wash my face with a normal face cleanser after.

I would recommend this product to anyone who doesn't wear a lot of heavy makeup, and for those who have sensitive skin as it is a really light, soothing cleanser.

It is also very reasonably priced ranging between $7-$12 (depending on specials) at supermarkets.
