NIVEA Naturally Good Organic Avocado & Hydration Body Lotion

I was very excited to try this moisturiser. The packaging is almost like a toothpaste tube because when it starts to get low, you just roll up the bottom and squeeze it out. It just won’t stand up nicely anymore which is annoying but not the end of the world.

The moisturiser smells great. It reminds me of Parma Violets and it isn’t a super strong smell which is nice.

The formula of the moisturiser feels silky. It stays in the skin a long time and you have to work to rub it in properly. I found it stayed streaky and white for a while and didn’t absorb straight away. If I stopped using the moisturiser for a few days my skin became really dry and flaky when it wasn’t before. The moisturiser wasn’t greasy and didn’t make my skin feel sticky or tacky which was great

I wouldn’t rush to buy this moisturiser after trialling it

I was very lucky to receive this as part of a trial. I love that the bottle has 50% less plastic than a regular bottle. It's quite light and soft to touch and easy to squeeze, in fact they suggest that you roll the bottle up like you would a toothpaste tube as you go through it so you get every last bit of product. Also love that it's recyclable. The moisturiser itself has a nice clean smell which is nothing special but not unpleasant at all, although it might not be good for those sensitive to fragrances. I found the cream felt silky when applied and my skin felt lovely and smooth immediately after application. However after it had fully absorbed it was totally undetectable, that smooth feeling disappeared so much so that there was really little if any lasting moisturising effects. My skin is normal and not particularly dry so perhaps that's why I didnt notice a difference. Overall not one I'd recommend or buy myself.

I have been using this moisturiser for a week now. I've found that it definitely takes longer to absorb than other moisturisers I have used. It does have a lovely scent and is not over powering. I like that the bottle has less plastic, that has to be a win. The bottle size is decent too for the price. I would recommend it but just don't be in a hurry for it to absorb quickly.

The best part of this product, which I actually really appreciate and haven’t seen before is that you can roll up the end of the bottle- so you can get all of the product out. I love this feature and that alone makes this product better in my eyes.

The lotion it’self is nice, but not outstanding. The smell is fresh and clean and mildly scented. The lotion is nice in texture. When rubbing it on my skin, it took a while to work it into my skin, which I didn’t like. I don’t want to spend 5 minutes rubbing into my skin after the shower.

It left my skin feeling nice and soft-but the claim of 48 hrs is and exaggeration. The products was packaging was lovely and really emphasised that they were trying to market It as more environmentally friendly.

By far best feature was the thinner plastic and how you will be able to get all the product out easily.

I would recommend this to a friend, but the 48 hr hydration is definitely not accurate.

This body lotion is beautiful and thick but in terms of its organic nature, I'm a little skeptical. The lotion is luxurious and creamy but is quite difficult to apply - you really have to work to rub it in! In saying that though, I think that's fairly common for more natural products. It smells fantastic and definitely kept my skin hydrated and feeling soft. You don't need to use too much otherwise you'll be standing there forever trying to rub it in. In terms of the packaging, I like that less plastic is used and that you can roll it up when it's getting low. As I said, in terms of its natural 98% naturally-derived ingredient claim, I'm a little skeptical because there's still a lot of other things in there that would make it less 'natural' like parfum/fragrance (which could be naturally derived I suppose, it doesn't state which elements are natural and not). I think if you were really into organic products, this wouldn't be the one for you, but I do like the creaminess and that Nivea is attempting to go greener so all in all, it's not a bad product.

So i was picked to review this, i was pretty excited to do so, i have very sensitive skin, and its usually super dry! OK, so the things i love about this: its made with 98% natural ingredients, which is great for sensitive skin! the bottle is made from 50% less plastic, so better for the environment, the bottle squeezes and can be rolled up so a lot less wastage. The moisturizer itself goes on really well, and once absorbed does leave the skin feeling fantastic and soft. But the 2 things i didn't like about it would possibly put me off buying it, i wasn't a fan of the smell, its not the nicest one i have ever smelt, the 2nd was when applying it, until the point where it was fully absorbed i felt greasy, its wasn't that pleasant.. I think ill have to use it more to make a full decision if i would buy it. Can i live with the greasy for the results, its quite possible!

This seemed like a timely product to review given I have, for the first time in my life, been experiencing dry legs/knees in the past few months.

First off, the bottle is a really strange texture. It's designed so that it can be rolled like a tube of toothpaste, and I really appreciated that as someone who hates leaving any product in the bottle. The scent was perfect for me, not too strong and very fresh.

As for the formula, it was a great consistency a little went a really long way as well. I struggle with products that leave too much film or greasiness on the skin, especially in winter when you're wearing long pants/sleeves, but found that not to be an issue with this lotion. You can get a nice light layer that absorbs quite quickly, leaving nice soft skin behind. I found it was perfect to use after a shower when you're still a little damp, the smoothness combined with the scent was really refreshing after a hot shower.

Overall, I think it's a great little basic lotion, that works best after a shower. It definitely left my skin feeling soft, but it is a product you'd have to keep using quite regularly, as it's not the strongest product ever. I think it's fine for sensitive skin, as I didn't notice any redness or irritation myself using it, or any congested skin which can happen with thicker formulas. I'm not sure it would be super effective for really dry skin, but it's good for the middle of the road or a basic daily lotion for preventing dryness.

First of all I want to congratulate Nivea on the new packaging of these body lotions. They contain 50% less plastic than the original bottles and they make getting the product out of the packaging so easy. I have really enjoyed this body lotion and will definitely be purchasing it again. The scent is light and while it doesn’t smell like avocado it does smell natural and not overpowering at all. I haven’t worn perfume on the days that I’ve applied this straight after my shower and the fragrance does linger but not in an intense way. It is hydrating and lightweight and definitely left my skin feeling smoother. I have very dry elbows and legs and while it has improved the look of these parts it didn’t make a huge difference to how dry they are. I like to apply this at night as I’ve found it does leave a slight film on my legs if I’m wearing jeans or slim fitted pants. In saying that if I’ve worn looser fitting pants or a skirt it’s fine. I would recommend this to anyone that needs daily hydration and doesn’t have super dry skin and a little goes a very long way so it great value for money too. This lotion now has a permanent spot on my bedside table.

Nice and easy to use. I started using it every second day and unsure the hydration lasted that long, so I used it every morning from then and my legs kept nice hydrated. The packaging is a cool idea that you can roll up the bottle to make sure you get everything out once it starts running low, and love that it is sustainable as well. Probably isn't my favourite hydrating lotion but I would use it again and recommend to others. It is also nice and gentle on the skin which I find very helpful as I get quite sensitive skin
