Mattifying cream-gel Nivea visage Pure Effect Control shine.

Hello,Today I would like to tell you about a cream from Nivea.

About: Mattifying cream-gel Control Shine hydrates the skin and absorbs oil. It is suitable for ones with oily and combined skin as well as for people who want to hydrate their skin and to eliminate the shine. Cream-gel contains Magnolia extract, which absorbs excess oil of the skin and reduce the shine. Cream-gel is absorbed fast by the skin and maintains optimal moisture balance all day. Formula of mattifying cream-gel is light as it doesn’t contain oils. It contains UVA/UVB protection and doesn’t clog pores.

Cream-gel is sold in a relatively big package (75 ml). It is very economic, because of the light texture. I need only a small pea of cream, to apply it all over my face. The smell is nice, feels like an ocean (probably it is because of the magnolia extract). Colour of the cream is light blue, but when applied you can’t see anything. It is true that the cream is absorbed very fast and doesn’t clog pores.

The minus of this cream-gel is that it is not hydrates enough, in some places I had to apply other hydrating creams on top of this. And, unfortunately, it mattifies my skin for about an hour only. 

Result: I am not planning to buy it one more time, as hydration is very important for me.

 As you can see, it has light blue colour, but rubbed in it doesn't leave any.

Thank you to everyone who read my post! I hope you liked it :)
