NIVEA Pure & Natural Moisturising Day Cream

I've used nivea off and on during the years and it's usually it's pretty good on my skin but not this time. It never looked like it absorbed into my skin properly and foundation went blotchy.

I am on Oratane at the moment for my acne, and I struggle to find skin care products that are gentle on my sensitive skin. When I tried Nivea Pure and Natural I was hooked. The whole range is wonderful, but the moisturiser is great, it will keep my skin soft and moisturised all day. I like that it has a gentle smell to it, some of those expensive natural products have a pretty strong smell when you use them.

For a poor student like myself, this Nivea Day cream has become my holy grail moisturiser. The price point is good and the product works great. I have normal/ combination skin and often find a lot of face moisturisers too heavy/ greasy. Although though this moisturiser does not feel light in the pottle it absorbs really quickly into the skin and feels light. It gives the perfect amount of hydration. I wish this product had SPF in it, however I sometimes mix in a little of my face sunscreen on sunny days to give it an SPF.

I have to admit that it's always great to see a product that is affordable for us Mums that don't have a budget for more expensive items, but so many times I wonder if because it's affordable....is it going to really work. I've tried Nivea products in the past and they haven't really suited my skin so I was a little wary of this one however I had nothing to worry about. Once I got the pottle open (which was no easy feat) I dipped my finger in to try the cream for the first time. It was a little thicker than other creams I've tried so I found myself thinking uhoh here we go again but I was totally impressed with how it absorbed into the skin leaving my skin feeling nice and soft. I did feel however that my skin felt a little greasy even though I didn't use much so while I did like it, and would use it again because of the price, if I had a choice there are probably other products I would use in preference

Until recently I had a different favourite moisturiser. However, recently I found out the product is tested on animals, and as much as I loved it I wasn't happy using it anymore.

Because I loved it so much, it was tough finding something to replace it! First try with this Nivea day cream and I was in love! The old moisturiser was forgotten! This day cream is great on sensitive skin, it moisturises well, and most importantly for me, it feels light on your skin!

I highly recommend it to people of all skin types.

Makes your skin feel amazingly soft. Very moisturising. Perfect for any skin type. Great for the whole family

I love all nivea products and this leaves my face feeling soft and smooth i would recommed to friends.

I love nivea products. Not sure if this one was meant to be used on your face. I did and found it just a little too greasy so have gone back to nivea Q10.

This product has a great scent and is in a cute little jar. But not for me I'm afraid. I personally prefer pump top products - call me a germ-a-phobe but I think they're much more hygienic. Also economical since they measure a quantity out for you. I found it quite heavy compared to what I'm used to and took a long time to absorb. Better suited to someone with dry skin.
