NIVEA Cellular Hyaluron Filler Day Cream Review

I was lucky enough to get this product for free from the last beauty vault and I'm happy that I didn't pay 28.00 for it. In fairness it is a nice enough cream, it has the traditional clean Nivea fragrance (which I like) and has a nice creamy consistency. The cream itself offers a little sun protection (SPF15) and does provide a decent amount of hydration. I find the cream absorbs nicely into my skin but does leave a slight sticky residue. I have naturally dry, sensitive eczema prone skin and find this cream to be fine on it unless I am going through an awful eczema flare up where my skin is broken then this cream does sting slightly.

This cream has it's good points but as far as the anti-aging claim I have to say that it is just not true. This cream didn't improve my skin texture nor did it reduce any existing wrinkles. I picked it up from the vault because of the anti-aging claims and sadly it just didn't deliver. It is a nice enough cream but it is not different from any other Nivea cream. I personally think it is over priced as it only really provides moisture to the skin.

I got this product from the vault before last. I had seen it around was keen to try it. I’ve been using Nivea products for many years and find them reliable and relatively unchanging over time.

It is quite economical and can be purchased from New World.

It comes in a lovely 50 ml pot, although I was surprised to find the pot was half the size of the box it came in! The pot is white with the Nivea branding and has a silver lid with white on the top. The packaging makes it look like a more classy and expensive product.

On opening the screw top, the recogniseable aroma of Nivea greets your nose. Although quite mild, it is stronger than the aroma of the soft moisturising cream.

The texture of the product is soft and creamy and absorbs very quickly into the skin. My skin feels soft and nice after the product has absorbed.

The product claims are that with regular use, this formula accelerates skin’s own skin cell renewal – an indicator of cellular vitality and youthful skin. The SPF 15 UVB + UVA protection system helps to protect skin from UV-induced ageing, cell damage and age spots. The rich texture softly melts into the skin and is quickly absorbed, providing an immediate sensation of comfort and care. I love that it has SPF 15 to help reduce sun damage. It does have a rich texture that softy melts into skin and is quickly absorbed.

It says the results on skin will be: wrinkles are visibly reduced, noticeably firmer skin and faster skin renewal, skin is replenished with intense moisture, skin feels smooth and silky. I haven’t noticed a reduction in wrinkles to date or firmer skin, but my skin feels moist and smooth and silky after using it, so it certainly does meet some of its claims.

I would probably use it again, and recommend it to others to try. I think it is a good product for the price.

Nice simple jar, easy to go all the contents out. Light non invasive scent . Feels soo soft and silky on my skin , velvety mmmmm. Not heavy or greasy , non of that clogged feeling. Not sure if many wrinkles lessened (don't study them often lol) but not seeing any new ones, so that's a win :)

I was given a pot of this. I'm really happy with spf creams as I'm a sunscreen nut. The texture is thicker than a gel but it's still really light, like borderline between a lotion and cream. Once applied it sinks right into my skin and absorbs pretty quickly. I normally have combination skin but with the onset of winter my skin has gotten much drier. This moisturizer provides a bit of hydration but it still feels really light on the skin. On days when my skin is really feeling dry I have to apply another layer which is probably a good thing since you're supposed to apply plenty of spf right? The scent is the light signature Nivea scent. Now for the cons. The minute I apply this and the lovely feel of my skin getting hydrated is ruined by my eyes stinging and watering and it's not like I didn't follow the instructions and applied this to my eye area. Stinging eyes are a big con for me, especially since there are other spf moisturizers for about the same price, like my favorite Oasis spf moisturizers that I can actually apply to my eye area (even though it isn't recommended for your eye area) and they don't sting. The other con for me is that it only carries an spf of 15, which is the minimum and I prefer a higher spf. The ingredients are water, glycerin, ethylhexyl salicylate, cetearyl alcohol, dimethicone, alcohol denat, glyceryl stearate SE, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, methylpropanediol, octocrylene, polymethlsilsesquioxane, shea butter, cetyl alcohol, ethylhexyl stearate, sodium phenylbenzimidazole sulfonate, magnolia extract, creatine, 1-methylhydantoin-2-Imide, hylauronic acid, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, acrylates/C10-30 aclkyl acrylate crosspolymer, trisodium edta, ethylhexylglycerin, phenoxyethanol, limonene, linalool, citronellol, benzyl alcohol, geraniol, alpha-isomethyllonone and parfum. So while those it does advertise some really good active ingredients, the good stuff is really buffered with a bunch of cheaper silicones and fillers so it's unlikely to do anything much long term for me anyways. Lastly, just a personal preference, I prefer a tube or pump to a pot because it's more sanitary. So when this finishes I probably won't be repurchasing.
