Nivea Cleansing Oil Soothing Grape Seed Soothing Cleansing Oil for Sensitive Skin 150 ml Review

Ingredients:

Paraffinum Liquidum, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Isopropyl Palmitate, Isododecane, Ethylhexyl Stearate, PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil, Tocopherol.

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:

- Not available in my country and didn't see it available anymore on Notino either

- Doesn't emulsify easily, feels a bit thick and sticks to skin, difficult to wash off and the more you have makeup or sunscreen the more it all just mashes into a thick goo layer on my face

- Definitely needs a good second cleanser to remove the residue off face

- Annoying around eyes because easily fogs vision

- Takes a while to use and wash off

- Not particularly enjoyable product



+ Cheap

+ A little goes a long way, it took at least 9 months of active use to finish

+ No fragrance, no scent

+ No irritation, not even around eyes

+ With a good purifying second cleanser, no residue or clogging issues

+ Removes makeup/sunscreen, but is not particularly great

+ Not drying, but also not soothing

* Nivea Cleansing Oil reminds me of Mizon's Great Pure Cleansing Oil. Probably because both have mineral oil? That one was also a pain in the arse to remove sometimes and left easily goo residue. I haven't repurchased Mizon since I finished in 2020. Why am I less irritated with Nivea's Cleansing Oil? Probably because it is a third the price of Mizon, has no sharp scent and I already had figured out how to deal with a more difficult oil cleanser.

Price: 

I paid 5,90 € / 150 ml

Bought from: 

Notino

Buy again? 

Maybe I could if it became available and is still as cheap.

Worth the money? 

Nivea Cleansing Oil Soothing Grape Seed Soothing Cleansing Oil for Sensitive Skin is not particularly enjoyable or special product to use but it does its job and is affordable, irritation and fragrance free. I would recommend going for an other cleansing oil if you can afford to pay for a more elegant formula that emulsifies easily.
