NIVEA Q10 Power Replenishing Pearls Review

Looks like pearls are a girl's best friend!

I'm always a bit suspicious about 'revolutionary' products, I mean, hasn't it all been done before? Well...no, it turns out.

This is a weird product. Like, there's actually little 'pearls' in the formula. When I read about it, I kind of thought the pearls would burst or something before it was dispensed, but nope, they get mixed in. You can actually feel them as you apply the product.

1 small pump does your whole face (and I have a moon face!). You do need to pay attention to rubbing it in, it took me a few days to get used to the initial texture on my skin and the amount I needed.

After the first few uses my skin felt hydrated and soft - like baby smooth. After regular use over the last few weeks, I've noticed my fine lines have reduced - a lot.

So being a serum, I was still using my regular moisturiser after, but after a week I tried it on it's own and my skin still felt soft and moisturised.

It's a brilliant price, and you can see how much product you have left which I like.

So...negatives. The fragrance. It's weird. But it doesn't last more than a few minutes and therefore will not affect my rating of this fab supermarket find!

I usually use Olay, out of habit mostly I think, but when I ran out of my usual Olay serum-moisturiser and couldn't find it at the supermarket, I decided to try this.

It's unusual, the little pearls make for an odd application, but it's not unpleasant.

I like the bottle, you can see how much you have left. The pump is sturdy.

I've been using this for about a month now and it's brilliant. I've read reviews that mention how soft their skin feels - it's so true! My skin is usually prone to dryness but it's been soft and supple. I have noticed my wrinkles look less wrinkly and I feel I look like a healthier me.

I have sensitive skin but haven't had any issues with this, even though it's fragranced.

I love NIVEA's body cream and am now determined to try more of their skincare products.

Love this product, i think it is a great addition to the Nivea range. I love the pearlicent color of it and the smooth texture it has, It feels so great on my skin ive had so many compliments whilst wearing the product .

I am so, so, so in love with this serum! When it arrived in the top rated BBBE I was a wee bit intrigued thinking how does this work? I could see these wee yellow balls inside the tube, first thought was ahh they're just decoration and the clear looking serum comes out. Haha no, that's not what happens!

The clear tube has a pump top lid I pump out two pumps and watch to see what happens ah ha it crushes the small pearl balls as it comes out! How cool is that I thought, I'm pretty sure I have never used a product like that before. I start massaging it into my face and watch as the rest of the crushed pearls sink into my skin and leave no trace of what they once were. It has a slight floral musk scent I must admit I'm not overly fussed it does smell kind of umm nana-ish.

I first used this at night time mainly because of the curiosity. As soon as I had massaged it into my face my skin looked almost brighter, but I wasn't going to get over excited too quickly as too many times I use something then gradually it loses its magic.

I had been using a very expensive *cough cough* several hundred dollars serum and to be honest it wasn't doing much, I didn't think a cheaper supermarket serum would do a lot but holy moly I'm wrong, so very very wrong! I've been using this for several weeks now and every time I put it on at night my skin looks fresh and even in the morning it still looks fresh. It doesn't leave any oily or sticky residue which is another reason I love this. It leaves my skin ready for moisturiser, and makes my moisturiser absorb that wee bit quicker.

I love this serum and it is easily better than the several hundred dollar serum and I will repurchase.

I got this product in the Top Rated BBBE and I was very happy to have the chance to try it.

It comes in a cute yellow and white box - I love yellow so that's a tick. It comes with two layers of cardboard though, a box and a sleeve. That's no tick - I'm not keen on wasting resources and the extra cardboard didn't seem necessary to me.

Inside is a cute bottle with a pump top. You pump the top and it squashes the pearls. Out pops a bright yellow squidge. You don't need to use much. I rub it sparingly into my face and neck before moisturising, morning and night.

Now I have to confess, I was lucky enough to try a Rolls Royce brand of serum similar to this that I was very fortunate to get from a previous vault. It was going to be very very difficult for any other product of the same type to meet that standard. So did it?

Well, the product claim is "pure anti wrinkle power for a refined and younger looking complexion". Hmmn. I have to say, it feels lovely gliding into my skin and I would say my skin does feel plumper, tighter and more refined. As to whether I look younger? I can only hope! But my skin feels good and feels like it looks as good as it can for my age. So yes it does.

The scent? subtle and perfumey and I love it. I do also love the colour, weird as it sounds. All this for an excellent price.

So, I have to agree with my esteemed fellow beauties, this product deserves it's top rating. I highly recommend it.

Have to say when I received this product in my beauty box I wasn't too excited about it. Then when I first squirted some out of the bottle and it looked like egg yolk I was all that inspired to use it so it sat amongst my products getting occasional use for a few weeks.

So wish I'd started using it sooner!!! I use this religiously every morning and have been doing so favor at least three weeks and I have so seen a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles seem not so pronounced. It also leaves my skin feeling so lovely and soft. Love this product and with my bottle being almost empty will definitely be grabbing anther very soon.

I have been using this product daily for over a week now. Initially the smell was quite "medicinal" to me but it has grown on me and now is a "fresh" part of my day. I love that it is a pump (none of that thumping the bottom of the bottle or digging around in the pot). I found the texture of the pearls great as they disintegrate and are silky smooth but the surprise was the bright yellowness! I found the texture and absorption great and it goes on quickly and the results are starting to show already and doesn't feel heavy or fake and "layered" on. I don't feel I want to use too much more of this type of product as they usually seem expensive and a bit excessive but this one is a lovely addition and is making a difference to me. I would totally recommend this and I am seeing the difference daily.

I was really excited to try this product because the Nivea name (to me) is a 'classic' brand - my mother used cream products. I am in the 50 plus age range now so maybe I think about wrinkles more than some of you younger gals.

First Impressions The packaging is robust, with a sleeve covering the product box and a clever incorporated insert (inside the box) to keep the product upright. It can be quite disappointing to open product to find some missing or leaking. An informative colour booklet is also included.

The bottle is a nice size, purse handy if you travel. You get product via a handy wee pump which I did not expect.

I did not realise at first that I was seeing the actual 'pearls' through the partially transparent bottle. This suggests 'honesty' - I have been jaded at times over various advertising techniques.

The scent is fresh and light, not overwhelming - pleasant, as is the feel of the pearls in the carrying liquid. The pearls are not gritty - they break up and are quite easily absorbed.

Product is cooling around the eyes - a really pleasant feeling. The moisture it provides is very good, I used it on my eyelids as well with no adverse effects.

Day 2 I thought I noted improvement. Day 3 I knew there was improvement. It feels really, really nice.

A vain man in the household, also 50 plus couldn't wait to trial the product either and says he has noticed he's a bit 'wrinkle-less'. He really likes the product and intends to keep on using it.

Well done Nivea - good product and good price xxx

I love this product ! I don't usually use a serum, due mainly to cost, however I will definitely be purchasing this one. It is silky and makes my skin feel hydrated immediately, I actually cant wait to put it on, morning and night. My skin looked less dehydrated and felt elastic. I will be repurchasing before this runs out, think I'm addicted.

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.
