Nivea young Wash Off Cleansing Gel Review

After trying every face wash from Clinique to Neutrogena to Philosophy, I purchased this Nivea Young Mild Cleansing gel. Which I ordinarily would never go for, I don't know why but I always walk past Nivea and never look back, so this time I picked up a bottle.

I really like the bottle, the gel has such a nice bright blue colour it was enough to convince me. Also it has such an amazing smell it has a really fresh ocean type smell which is a weird description I know but then I looked on the back and here is what is said:

Enriched with ocean minerals, oil free formula
cleanses mildly and refreshes, without drying out the skin
effectively removes dirt, oil and face and eye makeup
helps prevent impurities.

Now I really wanted to like this because it says it is a mild gel and I have sensitive skin, plus I really like the smell. But when I used it, I got this terrible burning sensation all over my face when I was rinsing it off which was quite painful. I thought maybe it was a one off,  but within one week my face was covered in acne. I used it again a couple of times since but it was the same thing. I'm really disappointed because i've never had a reaction like that before. I don't know if anyone else has had the same problem.
