NIVEA In Shower Body Skin Conditioner For Very Dry Skin Review

I received a couple of sachets of this product as a free sample and was quite keen to find out more about it. I have to say that it works very well in that it really makes your skin feel like you have moisturized it. The reason why I am not a big fan of it is that I don't think it has any advantages over using a regular moisturizer. I personally just don't think that moisturizing in the shower is preferable to outside of the shower, and it feels like a bit of a waste putting the shower moisturizer on, and then rinsing it off again. I guess this sort of thing is where it just comes down to personal preferences, and mine is using my good old (Nivea) body moisturizer.

I brought this purely because everyone else has been talking about it. I find it kind of annoying and time consuming that you have to stand in the shower with the water off whilst it sinks in. I feel kind of sticky when I dry off and my skin really doesn't feel any different. I think after I have finished this I will go back to body butters. The smell is also really boring.

I was excited about trying this as I hate getting out of the warm shower and then getting cold while moisturising. The process was not what i expected (thought it would be like a moisturising body wash) but was simple enough. My skin felt soft and lightly moisturised afterwards, so would be a good option during winter, but i dont think it would offer enough moisturisation for summer

I received a sample of this from Nivea and to begin with I was very unsure. After using I did enjoy this product and it left my skin moisterised. Application was quick and simple. However I do think it leaves your skin as soft and moisturised as it would be if you took the time to use a normal body moisturiser. I don't think I would purchase this product with my own money due to the fact that is more of a luxury product and is not an essential product.

An in-shower moisturiser is a great idea - this is the first one I've heard of. It left my skin feeling nice, but isn't the best moisturiser around. And I feel like I should let myself airdry because I don't want to wipe all the product off? So I'm a bit mixed on this...

I love the idea of this product - I hate moisturizing after showering but could definitely stand to do it more regularly. I have the very dry skin version and find it works pretty well, but its definitely not as if I'd actually used a moisturizer. It is really quick to use and I still like it for when I wouldn't be moisturizing after showering anyway (which is most of the time, to be honest!). I do find you need to use quite a lot of product though, and unfortunately I really dislike the scent (quite a synthetic 'clean' kind of fragrance). For these reasons I prefer Lush's Ro Argan Body Conditioner, which is a pretty similar product - more expensive, but it goes further and smells amazing. I also think coconut oil alone does a similar job, just need to be careful as the shower gets slippery! Would love to try other scents of this if Nivea made them though.

I didn't really feel this product did much more than a bodywash would do in terms of conditioning the skin. It flared up my eczema, and actually was quite drying. Still needed to use a good moisturiser afterwards too. Standard fragrance, nothing special.

I received this in my gift pack (thanks BR!) I can't say that I noticed a lot of difference in my skin after using it. Maybe a bit softer, but maybe I didn't rub it in enough & wait a bit before washing off. I will try it again tho, & see what happens.

Great idea and great product. For someone who is always in a rush and never finds the time to use a body lotion, I found it did the job.

I really wanted to love this product, as it is such a great idea! I never moisturise my legs or anything (apart from face) so I thought this would be awesome! Which is is, but there are a couple of problems. The bottle itself is huge which is great - lots of product! Really nice Nivea smell to it, and a lovely creamy consistency. I used about the size of an old 50c coin for my full leg. So I rubbed it all over my legs, made sure I rubbed it in well, then did the other. Waited for about a minute, then rinsed off the product from my leg.... but it didnt really rinse off. It was a really strange feeling, as I like to feel squeaky clean after a shower. To be honest I couldnt get it off my hands, it reminded me of having lard on my hands and it wasnt very pleasant. Anyway i rubbed by legs again and attemped to get as much off as possible. Got out the shower and my legs felt really lovely, but it was all over the shower floor which was really slippery. The softness of my skin lasted for about the same time as a normal moisturiser which is good. I just hate to think what its doing to my drain! Dont think I will purchase this again, might just get into the habit of moisturising!
