NIVEA Q10 Firming Body Lotion Review

It has the all too well known Nivea smell, sorta like sunscreen. It was nice and creamy in texture but I didn't notice any firming effects what so ever, and that was with daily application for a period of at least 2 weeks to see if there would be a gradual firming action. It's now just used for when my partner gives me a neck and shoulder massage every now and then or if I need to massage my feet after a long working day.. I wouldn't say it's anything special and I wouldn't purchase it again, given it's lasted as long as it has.

I tried this a while ago and didn't find it did much more than your average moisturiser, so didn't really impress me much.

It has a strong perfumed scent, which is pleasant but just a little too strong. I found the lotion thinner than what I would have liked it to be, I know lotions tend to be thinner than creams but this was just too runny for me (I'm thinking I may have got a bad bottle or something?). I found it moisturised my skin pretty well (not the best I have used but still not horrible) and the bottle lasted me a decent amount of time.

In terms of the claims this product makes about giving you softer, firmer, tighter skin....I don't think it really lives up to those statements. But for only $8 I didn't really think it would.

This is not a moisturiser I would repurchase or recommend as I have found much more hydrating moisturisers at a similar price point that I would much rather spend my money on.

As a daily moisturiser this is good. Its light not greasy and absorbs easily into my skin. I cant say that I have noticed a lot of firming happening in my skin but I will keep using this as my daily moisturiser. The scent is also really nice like most Nivea products.

This lotion is quick to absorb, moisturising and not as thick as some other lotions I’ve used. I haven’t found any difference in my skin though. Not firmer at all, but it’s ok as a moisturiser.

I used this regularly when I was losing weight and exercising a few years back to help that horrible flabby bits after you've burnt the fat away.

Following the directions I used all over straight after showering and found that over the coarse of about 3 months I found that it helped to bring back the elasticity of my skin and did indeed help the toning and firming, also turned the stretch marks into really fine silvery lines that became quite hard to be visible. However I wouldn't recommend using for months on end as I found after a few months that yes my skin was far more firmer but it was getting a tad oily as if I was over moisturising so had to take a wee break on it.

The large bottle worked out to be really affordable, lasting quite a long time as the lotion is quite thick and rich, applying with warm hands you get great coverage with very little.

Design wise its basic but the pump didn't fault at all, giving just the right amount each time. Only downside was the fact that once you got down to the last parts the pump wouldn't bring it up, but I just cut the bottle in half with some scissors and scooped it out towards the end.

This lotion is lovely - it absorbs well, smells nice, and isn't greasy. I'm not expecting it to tone a lot, so as far as 'firming' goes it's hard to tell what is effective, but it can't hurt as it's a brilliant lotion for daily use. Decent sized bottle, and a little goes a long way. Nivea are always good for body lotions and this is another in the same line...not so sure about the 'firming' aspect but can't win them all!
