I have super oily T-zone. But then, my cheeks can be dry and, at its worst, flaky. Ordinary moisturizers out there can't seem to give my skin enough moisture! I've tried a lot of the drug store moisturizers, including Olay (not the Total Effects), Clean and Clear, Garnier... nothing. So, I turned to the most hardcore moisturizer that I can find: NIVEA VISAGE.

WEAPON OF CHOICE
Nivea Visage has been around since the late 1880s.
They didn't start out making face products though.
I have the Nivea Visage Sparkling White Night Care. There's a day version of this.
✦
MOISTURIZE
I've been using Nivea Visage since college.
I started out with the tinted moisturizer.
I knew it worked so well when one of my org-mates told my college BFF that I had the best skin out of every one in the org.
Of course, my BFF told her that it was because I was using tinted moisturizer :P

PAMPER
Even though I keep it at room temperature, it feels cold to the fingertips.
It feels silky on the skin and the cold helps my skin relax after the end of a long day.
It's not difficult to work with as it is quickly absorbed into the skin.
That's a good thing because the skin on your face is very sensitive.
✦
Admittedly, this doesn't do anything to oily T-zones.
The good thing is that it doesn't aggravate it at all. But it minimized my dry spots after just a few nights of use.
✦
The one I have is for night use as I don't want to clog my pores with too much products in the day.
I use heavy duty Revlon Color Stay foundation for work everyday and it's a pain to take off at night.
I'll talk about the many steps I do to remove it. But after my face is clean, I lather on this baby.
It's a good thing I have this because I feel like it gives back all the moisture I've lost while cleansing (think: dry skin).
✦
This retails for about 200++php or less. I forgot how much mine costs as I've been using it for a while.
TIP: There a foil on top to make sure it's fresh and hygienic. Peel only half and fold it back before closing the lid.
This way, you can keep the product fresh for a longish time. I peeled mine off when I've scraped as much as I can on the half I was working on.
✦
If you have dry skin, this is god-send.
Have a good night's sleep :)
