Reddit reviews NIVEA FOR MEN Original Moisturizing Face Wash 5 oz

I use this. It's not really soap and it's not specifically for acne. I still have mild acne, but this seems to work pretty well and doesn't dry out my face.

Personally, the only gel I've used was the Nivea men moisturizing face wash. I always had dry skin and thought this "moisturizing" facewash was the way to go, it was cheap and my face felt "clean" read: shiny and tight. I was very wrong.

I try to stay away from gel washes as they are not typically ph balanced or foam up too much, which causes excessive drying.

I shave every other day and try to shave at night to save time in the morning (I like my sleep). I tend to wash my face after shaving, not really any rhyme or reason to it, just my preference.

The most important parts: get a face wash that doesn't dry out your face and is pH balanced. CeraVe and Cetaphil are very popular and pretty much available everywhere.

Another bit of information: make sure you are absolutely always wearing sunscreen every day. There's no change from day to day, but over years, the sun will cause premature aging and sun spots to form. Look for a sunscreen that you like, I use Nivea as it does not leave a white cast, washes off easily and is SPF 50+ although it is only available if bought overseas or through Amazon. Other popular ones include Elta MD, CeraVe, Neutrogena, Biore, Cetaphil.

Hope this helps!

I'm not an expert, I just got serious about facial care, but I will at least share my experience so far. I'm 28 y.o. male and had a full beard for the last few years, mainly just to cover up my skin problems, though I did kind of like it. However I decided it was time to go and that meant I had to start taking care of the skin underneath.

I started out using Olay Regenerist Serum after seeing an article someone linked here that I thought was about the problem I was having. It said that it contains a specific ingredient that would help with my dry skin problems. It's expensive and it seemed to help some, but it wasn't making a big enough difference on its own. I probably will not get more when it runs out.

Later I got Clean & Clear Morning Burst, and I personally would NOT recommend it. It did nothing for my face and I believe it ended up drying my face out really bad which lead to even more flaky nasty skin, which I had already been suffering from.

I did, however, get Neutrogena Post Shave Lotion a couple weeks later which has helped tremendously with my dry skin problems. I use it twice a day, after I shave in the morning and before I go to bed and have definitely noticed an improvement with the dry skin problems. However I am still having some zits and redness around my nose and chin that I want to deal with.

I decided I am going to throw out the morning burst and try Nivea Double Action Face Wash instead. I think for me the Morning Burst was really bad because exfoliating dries out your skin and I already had really dry skin.

Personally I am just experimenting with stuff to find out what works. Everyone's face is going to react different to different products, so just picking up someone else's routine may not work. Best of luck to you.

Has anyone used this product? Or have any remarks regarding the ingredients? I gave it a try last night and it felt great on my face (felt like the hydroboost moistuzier honestly) and my face is very red but aloe seems to help sooth it. Seemed to work ok...I just wonder if I have anything to be concerned about.
I had been using CeraVe foaming but it seems to be harsh, but it does remove my sunscreen! As opposed to CeraVe hydrating...which I love the feel of, but it never removed all of my sunscreen.

Thanks for any input
