NIVEA Cream

I landed up buying a tub of niva after my friend said it was amazing. It wasn't expensive, seals good and good size for the price. Unfortunately my skin didn't soak it up as well as I hoped. My situation differs from others because I seen better results on my friends skin. It smells great and I think I need more of a oily base type of cream.

Grew up with Nivea being used by both my mother and grandmother, it was also my first ever cream to use as a makeup remover and a moisturise for both day and night. That was long before I learnt how to truly look after my skin for optimum youthfulness look and preventation of ageing.

However, when times get hard and I have to reign in the budget a cheap tub of this cream works as an all purpose in the short time. Wouldn't religious use as those before me did but in short periods it is great and has lasted the test of time as a reliable product. If I do use this for too long I find that my skin becomes greasy and oils cause breakouts to form so unless you have dry skin then use sparsely, for dry skin I would imagine this would be the perfect everything product.

This successfully moisturisers dry areas. It is not too heavy and does not feel greasy after applying it. A good reliable cream to have for any driness.

This is a very heavy, oily product so only recommend it for days when you feel extra dry. This product does leave your skin with a nice shine which looks really nice during summer. For daily use I would recommend the lighter blue or white Nivea bottles.

Always have loved this product, not once has it done me wrong, I have dry skin so apply product on a daily basis, it has a kind of heavy consistency though which is abit of a downfall, other then that always loved the product and will continue to use.

I bought this cream as I've never used it before and I had to at least say that I once owned one of these tins! So I can now tick that box off my list. There are many uses for this product (as I found out through reading an article here on beauty review), but I use this as a simple moisturiser, mostly a hand and nail cream. This cream is very hydrating and moisturising. I find it's great for moisturising dry hands and cuticles.

The consistency of this cream is quite thick, like a body butter. Therefore it's probably not suitable for an all over body lotion type thing. However, despite being thick, it did find the cream was easy to apply and run into my skin.

I found the texture to be quite oily, so it leaves an oily residue on your skin before it gets absorbed. It takes about 5 minutes for the cream to be absorbed into your skin.

This cream has a very traditional powdery sort of smell to it. It's not strong but not a faint smell. The version I have is a tin but this how comes in a container with a screw lid. I do find that over time my lid on the kid has started to come loose and occasionally pops off.

Overall this cream is great. I will continue to use it as a hand cream in my handbag. I'm not sure if I would purchase this again as don't think it's as versatile as its made out to be.

This product is a classic which always works a treat. With my skin feeling dry often, whenever I put this on, morning or night, it makes my skin feel much better and moisturised. Also works well to moisturise any part of the body from your hands to your legs. I love it!

i love this for when my skin is really dry, or cracked. it feels great for a long time after putting it on, ive used it to heal cracks in my feet, which get really bad if i don't look after them. but my most fave thing to use this for is when i get sick, and get really sore and cracked under the nose, i use it for that mostly, it works so fast to fix the skin, and helps minimize damage if using while your sick.

I still remember my mother putting this on my face as a kid and I'm grateful she did that. I still keep a tub of this at home although it's not my regular moisturiser. It is a bit heavy and can be greasy, I definitely don't use this if I'm going to be wearing make up.

I use this for times when my face is extra dry and put it on my family if they get sunburnt as it helps the healing process for them.

this is the first cream from Nivea I have tried. Pot comes in nice blue colour and Nivea logo on it. Cream is really thick and creamy which is love it. One pot for everything face,body,hand,foot. No need different cream for different body part.all in one. Cream leaves skin soft and long lasting moisture.love it
