NIVEA Cellular Hyaluron Filler Day Cream Review

I am always very dubious of anti aging products, and sadly this one didnt really change my mind. one of the claims on the pack is 'The rich texture softly melts into the skin and is quickly absorbed, providing an immediate sensation of comfort and care" the first time I tried it it was dense and did not melt into my skin, I used a tissue and wiped most of it back off. So the following days I used a tiny bit each day and for someone that likes really light moisturisers it was ok. Because I didnt know if I would notice a difference int he skin on my face I also tried in on only my left hand and arm and sadly I dont believe my skin looks any different on the left to the right. I did however find that my pimples have lessened a lot and for that I am truly grateful.

dont get me wrong every cream works differently on everyone, i love the packaging , i love the cream density itself but the product i was really disappointed in, i used it day and night and seen no results what so ever, major disappointment for me as i was looking forward t maybe a wee bit of change to my skin as im getting older so who wouldnt, but no sadly nothing nada,0/10 for me

I was so disappointed with this product it smelled so good in the pot but I haven't noticed any difference to my skin despite using the product as directed. It felt ok when applied in the morning, although I used a very generous amount but under make up was a no go.

The packaging was good, and the pot felt substantial and good quality. On opening the cream, it smelled quite fragrant - too fragrant for me, I like beauty products to be fairly neutral and natural smelling. I put the cream on my face, it did as it said it would, it was readily absorbed. And I thought it might do the other things it said it would, such as smooth fine lines and wrinkles. However after having used it for a week, morning and night, the skin on my face actually looked like it was missing something, and was drier and slightly more lined than usual. I use Dermalogica normally, which is very natural and full of well researched ingredients. I stopped using the Nivea and went back to my Dermalogica - within a couple of days my skin looked more hydrated again. Overall, slightly disappointed in the Nivea product, but not surprised.

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.
