We have talked about the aspect time and again that apart from cleaning the face, an important step is to use a good facial scrub to prevent the blackheads and dry, dead skin. Apart from my Red Lentils Scrub I do use the scrubs available in the market!
The only concern is that we should not overdo it, and therefore it should be used not more than twice/thrice a week if you have normal/oily/ and 1-2 times if you have dry/sensitive skin. However if the scrub is homemade and extremely mild the number of usage can be increased accordingly.
WHAT THE PRODUCT CLAIMS- Enriched with vitamin E & hydra IQ.
- Exfoliates thoroughly while removing dead skin cells.
- Refines the skin’s surface for an even complexion while respecting the skin’s own moisture balance.
- The formula with vitamin E is especially mild on skin.
- See and feel refined fresh skin. The skin is thoroughly exfoliated and refined, looking healthy and beautiful.
- Application- apply 2-3 times a week to wet face, avoiding the eye and the lip area. Rinse off with the lukewarm water.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH NIVEA AQUA EFFECT SKIN REFINING SCRUB
Let’s get to the heart and soul of this post. This is my most loved scrub which I have used many times and always go back to it no matter what! It’s the “NIVEA SKIN REFINING SCRUB” which is meant for normal skin but it works for my oily skin as well!
The white color scrub with blue micro beads present in it gives a gentle scrub, loosens and removes the oil, dirt, grime, while retaining the needed moisture. It smells like a classy perfume and feels cool on skin. Leaves my skin squeaky clean and radiant! The tube is transparent with a blue hint shade on it and is travel friendly. It has a flip open cap which is strong enough to keep the pack inside and doesn’t allow it to leak. It helps keep oil at bay and also took care of the blackheads on my nose! Can I ask for more? Well little goes a long way so I cannot even say it’s an expensive option!
Swatches On Hand
TURN ON: NIVEA AQUA EFFECT SKIN REFINING SCRUB
1) Dermatologically tested.
2) Removes oil, dead skin and dirt completely.
3) Didn’t dry out my skin.
4) Regular usage leaves the skin healthy and beautiful.
5) Though the quantity is just 75ml but little goes a long way so I guess it cannot be categorized as an expensive option!
6) I think this will suit all skin types! ( though the ones with extremely dry skin need to try and see if this works for them or not)
7) It’s mild and didn’t irritate my skin.
8) Didn’t break me out. ( if you have severe acne already don’t use it as the beads can be abrasive)
TURN OFF: NIVEA AQUA EFFECT SKIN REFINING SCRUB
1) Sls (Present Miss).
2) Paraben (Present Miss).
COSMOCHICS RATING: 4.6/5
“INFO ON A SILVER PLATTER”- It’s the best scrub to get rid of skin coarseness. Doesn’t dry out the skin and keeps the necessary moisture intact! Apart from the harmful chemicals, I absolutely love it.
