NIVEA Q10 Power Replenishing Pearls Review

The bottle and wee pump dispenser are nice and easy to use. Cream is clear with yellow soft beads that disperse easily, looks a bit like scrambled eggs but don't worry it doesn't feel like them! It smells lovely and feels nice on the skin. Instructions say to apply before your usual moisturizer. Seemed a bit like double moisturizing to me, but I followed along. I've been using for about 10 days, twice daily, so far. It's a nice product but to be honest so far I can't see any change in my face/wrinkles. In saying that I am 44!! Maybe I've left my run too late

I was excited to try this product being a massive fan of Botox. I am all for anything topical that will assist with anti ageing, I mean who isn't once you hit 40 right? I used this product morning and night for around 10 days from the time I received it and I can't say I noticed a significant difference, there was a minimal amount of fine lines (laugh lines) around my eyes but I wouldn't go out on a limb and say it was noticeably improved. Quite possibly there may be an improvement using this product over a longer duration but it is definitely not an instantaneous result.

This cream didnt start off on a good note wuth me when I had to fight my way thru more than 1 layer of packaing. In this day and age of recycling and trying to save our planet it was a complete over kill. The product itself had a pleasant feel and smell about it. And I had no itchy reaction even though I have very sensitive skin. I never noticed any difference in any wrinkles or smile lines dissapearing but its only been 2 weeks so I guess thats an unrealistic timeline! I just didnt love the packaging in anyway.

For what is a very reasonably priced anti ageing serum it worked extremely well on the repairing and renewing of my skin texture. It absorbed fast leaving a silky feel and glow to my skin. I used it for 10 days and my although my skin was has differently improved any reduction in wrinkles was minimal, however I would expect that longer term use would be required for noticeable results on lines. The only negative for me was that I didn't really like the feel of the pearl cases as they break open on the skin although that is a small price to pay for product that delivers on results.

I was excited to trial this product as the serum I normally use is hard to come by in NZ and it would be good to have an easily available alternative. I unwrapped the packaging as soon as I got it in my hands and pumped some of the product onto my hand. First thing I noticed was the smell - kind of old lady talcum powder with some weird chemical smell, however after using the product for just a couple of days I no longer noticed. The product comes out of the tube easily, looks a bit like scrambled eggs and as the bottom of the pump moves up as you use the serum there should be little or no wastage. The product spreads easily on the skin and soaks in straight away. Feels great but in the two weeks I've been using it I haven't seen any real change in my skin however my skin feels just as good as it normally does. I would definitely recommend this product to people who haven't used a serum before, it's an affordable product that makes your skin feel nourished. I will finish the bottle then go back to my normal Boots No 7 serum however this will be a good backup if I can't get hold of that.
