Nivea Men Sensitive Shower Gel Body, Face & Hair 250 ml Review


Ingredients:

Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Glycerin, Glyceryl Glucoside, Bambusa Vulgaris Leaf/Stem Extract, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Sodium Chloride, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Polyquaternium-7, Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer, Citric Acid, PEG-200 Hydrogenated Glyceryl Palmate, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Sodium Benzoate, Linalool, Limonene, Parfum.

I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green.  Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...



Thoughts:


Smells somehow so off-putting even though it's not disgusting? Citrus?

I don't feel clean after using it

Actually, I feel like there's some greasy film on my skin!

- The bottle is ugly to boot even though it doesn't matter when a product works

- I have no idea if it's soothing even though it promises to be



Consistency is ok, creamy gel

Maybe this works for someone who has extremely dry skin and can't moisturize it after showering? The bottle says on the front "no dry skin feeling" and it is absolutely right

pH Neutral, I'm assuming 7 then?



* Now, this is a shower gel that tries to do everything and probably that's why it doesn't really do anything right... my fiance bought two of these abominations because there was some sale and usually he doesn't care what he uses. Well, now fast forward he hates them and they've been around for I don't know how long because we both refuse to use them! 

Maybe part of our reaction to this shower gel is explained by the fact that most of the shower gels we use are probably high pH and we are used to the stripping feeling that we associate with "clean". Also our body skins are very balanced, so we haven't had to think about them really.



Price: 

Honestly can't remember but it was cheap / 250 ml

Bought from: 

Grocery store

Buy again? 

NO.

Worth the money? 

Maybe if you can use it and if you have dry skin. Interestingly, it's marketed for men and I actually think he hates it more than I do.
