Urban Skin Detox 3-in-1 Claywash Reviews

As someone who is very set on the skincare that I use, I went into this trail with an open mind. I've heard so many reviews about clay being super beneficial to your skin, so this was a great opportunity to see for myself.

As I have very sensitive skin (and allergies) I firstly did a skin patch test, which thankfully this product passed!

The consistency of this product is really cool - it's smooth, thick and creamy which makes it really easy to apply. I tried this all three - scrub, wash and mask.

Honestly, I don't think the mask made any difference to being used as a wash. It definitely cleaned my skin thoroughly, but I can't say it really benefitted my skin in comparison to other products. I will say that this product gets all your stubborn makeup off and doesn't dry out your skin which is definitely a bonus.

Overall, would I repurchase? Probably not, I think I'll stick to my regime. But it's definitely a product that could benefit others.

I have been using the Urban Skin Detox 3 in 1 for a couple of weeks now and it’s wonderful. It smells masculine but also really clean. The smell is phoneomial!

This product is so nice I’ve had to start sharing it with Mr Beauty as he keeps borrowing it!

it has three functions ;
- face wash
- scrub
- mask

I began using as a wash however it doesn’t foam up like I’m used to. I much prefer it as a scrub. It feels really cleansing and the black rice does such a good job of exfoliating but it’s also gritty enough but doesn’t feel damaging to my skin. The rice feels nice and small and the scrub has a lovely grey colour so it feels and looks quite natural with the charcoal.

Both Mr Beauty and I have also tried it as a mask and it’s overly drying and stiff like a traditional mask. It’s nice and refreshing!

Our skin is also bright and clear!

Thank you to the BH team for sending me this product to trial.

This is a 3 in 1 product from Nivea that aims to act as a wash, scrub and mask and features black rice and green tea extracts. The charcoal-coloured gel is dispensed from a squeezy tube and has gentle micro crystals that help to exfoliate the skin.

I mainly used it as a daily scrub/wash and I found that the product is excellent at effectively removing dead skin and improve skin texture. However, I felt that the product did leave some residue on the skin so I preferred to finish off the routine with my regular foaming cleanser.

The product may also be used as a mask, which I found less effective at removing impurities as other deep cleansing masks as the kaolin does not dry on the skin. It is however more convenient for those with busy lifestyles as you can just leave the gel on the skin for a little longer during your routine in the shower.

Overall, I enjoyed the wash (more as a scrub) and it is an economical and easily accessible product.

Absolutely loved this product! I’ve tried many clay masks but none like the Nivea Urban Skin Detox. I loved the packaging which makes it easy to access and apply. The quantity (150 ml) was a very reasonable and generous amount for the price , Nivea definitely provides more of the product than most clay masks I’ve tried.

I never tried a product with either black rice or green tea let alone together and feel that these ingredients work really well together. I loved how the mask didn’t dry within 30 seconds like most clay masks do. The mask helped detox my skin but left it moisturised once I washed it off.

This mask is something that I can see myself using during the cold and dryer months of the year as my skin is often dryer the normal. Overall the mask left my skin feeling fresh and new.

I was part of the free trial by Beauty Heaven, so thank you very much!!

I was very excited to try this, clear simple packaging and when I opened it,it has really nice scent. I highly recommend using it in the shower, as it leaves a bit of grey water marks or can get onto your clothing and also it washes off better because when I wash the first time I realise there was a bit of residue left. There's not much lather to use it as a cleanser, so afterwards I kept using it as a scrub as it had small exfoliating beads in it.

I also tried it as a mask by putting it about 10mins before showering,I didn't think it was worth doing so as it didn't really make a difference between scrub/ mask,I rather use my normal sheet face masks.

I have mild black heads on my nose and the every now a days the hormonal breakout on my chin, it really helped with that. But!! I got my partner on to using it as a scrub and his has large blackheads and open pores. It worked wonders on his skin! After a week, his pores reduced significantly and skin softer. I was so happy with the result on his skin :) I think this would be a great product for those who are looking to clear their skin quickly and a good to try as your first time

I will continue to use it once a week and my partner has being using it everyday, he loves it and it's always so hard to get him to wash his face...maybe it's the grey colour and the non lather affect that seem manly to him lol

Thanks again for allowing me and this instance my partner to try this!

As a bride to be, I’m always on the look out for great face products that will have my skin looking great on my big day. So I was excited to try this one! I immediately liked the multi use of the product. I usually like to wash my face in the shower so I first used it as a wash. The packaging of the product is nice and similar to many other face products. I first noticed the very thick consistency of the product and the grey colour. This made it quite messy to apply. However, it made my skin feel really clean and purified afterwards! I also used it as a scrub, which really exfoliated my skin, and as a mask which I left on for 5 minutes. My skin felt clean and smooth afterwards, but it was definitely messy! As I would usually use this product in the shower this didn’t bother me too much but the thick consistency was the only thing I didn’t like about this product.

As I found that this was a very versatile all rounder product, I'll review each section of what it is meant to do individually.
Before that, I'll start off with the packaging, I found the tube with the snap top lid easy to use and I was able to smoothly control the amount of product to avoid overusing it. I would've preferred for the packaging to be slightly "prettier" but I guess the product is relatively unisex so this is suited.
The scent was not offensive and just mild, I did notice that in application, the product went onto the skin smoothly and almost paste-like(which I liked). The colour of the product was grey which is great because you can see exactly where and how much is being applied to ensure even application.
Now to discuss each function:
Face wash: I dropped a star because of this functionality. I found that it wasn't effective at removing all of my makeup, and spread my eyeliner & mascara around my face. This couldn't be removed with multiple washes and due to the waxy/clayey nature of the product, I needed to use a makeup remover after washing and drying my face to get all the excess residue of my makeup off. I did find that it left my face with that clean, refreshed feeling- but as a daily makeup user, this was a bit of an inconvenience.
Scrub: I absolutely loved this functionality, which is why I continue to use it inspire of the aforementioned makeup issue. The micro beads in the product are the perfect size and texture. I feel that it is just enough to scrub away all my dead skin yet not so harsh that I can't use it daily (as some other scrubs are on the market).
Mask: I hate hoarding products and love that this one product also triples as a face mask. It has a lovely tingly feeling when using this as a mask and doesnt feel "tight" or drying when left on for too long. I found that my skin felt super plump and soft after using this, followed by giving it a good scrub.

All in all I love the versatility of this product and the fact that it is so portable and such an all rounder. I can imagine this being the perfect product for those travels where you just can't afford to take multiple products but still want to look after your skin!

My husband has relatively oily skin and he has found that using this daily has improved the texture and oiliness of his skin in just a couple of weeks.

This comes highly recommended and is definitely worth a shot!

Any beauty product that is multi-use, I really appreciate, especially for travelling. I've been using the Nivea Urban Skin Detox 3-in-1 Claywash for a good 2 weeks and I really love it. My skin completely agrees!

Starting off with the scent, it smells so nice, light, subtle and not overpowering at all. I enjoy the scent and think it's a good amount of smell to the product.
The clay wash is a mask, exfoliator and daily wash - I tried all three and really stuck to using it as a daily wash to see how it felt on my skin afterwards.

I love the small exfoliating particles in the product - often, exfoliators may have particles that are harsh on the skin however this one is really nice and soft. It scrubs the skin gently and creates a super soft and silky texture on the skin.

I have combination/oily skin and I feel this wash really cleansed my skin nicely after a night's sleep as well as after taking my makeup off. It completely removes any stubborn makeup and leaves my skin feeling hydrated as well.

I really enjoyed this trial! Thank you beautyheaven x

I was pretty keen to try this product so was very excited to be invited to trial it. I used to use Nivea face wash a long time ago and it kept my hormonal skin in check most of the time.
Kaolin clay - one of the main ingredients- is an old favourite for oily skin, it has amazing drawing properties.
The container it comes in is very easy to use with a flip top lid which it sits on meaning all the product is sitting there ready to come out, no banging the end of the tub trying to get the last dregs out. It's also in a thin plastic so if you wanted to get every last drop you can cut the top off.
The smell is like every other Nivea product I have tried, I'm not sure how to explain it but it is a very distinct smell that I associate with Nivea.
The consistency is a thick, gel like substance, dark grey in colour with small spheres in it.
I used mine in the shower, so I wet my face then stepped out of the water to apply it to my face. The first time I used it I applied a piece about the size of a 20c coin and massaged it into my face and neck, it was nice and soft, the granules were very delicate and didn't feel like they were scratching my skin. I then left it on while I washed my hair and body before washing it off under the shower. It removed very easily.
One thing I liked was that there was no tight dry feeling as the clay set, it stayed in its gel like state so my skin didn't feel like it was being stripped.
My face after felt nice and soft and smooth and looked quite hydrated.
The next time I used it I used it as a wash/scrub and didn't leave it on. I had similar results.
My partner also tried this wash. He has quite oily skin with large pores and suffers from roseacea at times. He loved this cleanser more than some of the expensive ones I have bought for him.
