NIVEA In Shower Body Skin Conditioner For Very Dry Skin Review

Just tried my sample - I'll never, ever use this again (I threw the second sample away!)

I found it thick, gloopy, and when I rubbed it all over, it left a rubbery film on my skin. Had to use the cheap nasty gym soap in the dispenser on the wall to wash it off. Some got in my hair and now I have greasy patches in my hair. And the smell is not pleasant. Even after washing it off, when I towelled myself dry I felt slippery and moist (not moisturised, but moist, like sweaty...), and my clothes stuck to me.

I'll keep to moisturising after my shower!

I used this for a week or two and strated getting massive white heads on my back and around my neck (even though i washed it throughouly) which was unfortunate. i gave it to my boyfriend and he has bad acne on his arms and it seemed to clear it up, so who knows hahahaha downside is that you tend to use a lot of it, luckily the bottles massive!!

it does leave a residue on the floor of the shower that needs to be scrubbed off, such a hazard!

The moisturiser works well & my skin is soft smooth & hydrated. BUT I am not completely sold on this concept. It was a little too slippery when rinsing & I have concerns about whether it will make a slimy build up on the shower surround. Not much point saving time on the beauty/moisturising routine only to have more time used up cleaning the shower . Probably wouldn't purchase again

I found this product easy to apply and easy to rinse off. The smell wasn't overpowering, and the consistency was a little like hair conditioner. I am super lazy and only take time to moisturise when my skin is super dry and I cannot avoid it.

This process was quick and easy and all in the shower. My skin was silky smooth straight after my shower, but the moisturised feeling didn't last as long as I thought it should.

I am not 100% sold on the concept so I will use up the rest of the bottle and see how I go, at this stage I am unsure if I will buy this product again.

I really do love it but I think I need extra moisterization as I find that my skin (especially legs) get dry throughout the day and need to be moisterized twice daily.

It was really easy to use, although could have been more convenient in a pump bottle but neverless, still great. Smells really nice, not too overpowering and does exactly what it says!

You also don't need a lot either. The first time I used it I dolloped a big amount on my palms and by the third time, found that I probably didn't need that much, about a pea sized amount for each part of the body is more than enough!

Not sure how long it will last but with the pea sized amount, pretty sure it will be well worth the $7 I paid for!

(ps Pak N Save sell it cheaper!)

Used my free sample this morning and I'm glad I didn't purchase the full size. Its been about 7 hours since my shower and my legs are looking a wee bit dry and crackly. I tend to have this problem lately ahhh think its an age thing and I'm on alot of meds. So have applied my Body shop body butter, ahhh refreshed again. I felt the nivea wasnt too heavy and greasy but did make the shower floor a bit more slippery. I still felt I need to air dry a bit ok run around in my knickers and bra while putting the kettle on, then I got dressed. No I won't buy the full size one.

Love love love! I was pretty sceptical but this stuff actually works and leaves your skin lovely and soft for minimal effort. It saves so much time in the morning - especially as you don't have to wait for your moisturiser to dry. It smells great and leaves your skin soft and smooth.

I bought it after I saw the commercial on TV. The idea is very novel, a body conditioner. It feels good right after the shower, but the effect is not as long lasting as regular body lotion. I would probably use it during the summer.

I'll just start by explaining that most of these showers these days are spent playing peek a boo with the curtain while being watched by a baby with a limited amount of patience. In a way this product seems perfect for me as I usually don't bother with moisturiser. On the other hand I have enough to get done in the limited amount of shower time I have as it is without adding another step. I got a couple of free samples of this product and it's the sort of thing I would use maybe half of the time. I won't be buying it though as I already have about a dozen half used bottles of regular moisturiser and just can't justify it.

OK - I don't hate this product at all but wouldn't bother with again as the moisturising effect isn't that great and the smell is pretty bad. It's not really a time saver as either, if you moisturise after you shower you're spending the time anyway. I feel you get a better result from moisturising out of the shower, didn't really feel like I managed to get it all over me either.
