NIVEA Daily Essentials Light Moisturising Day Cream Review

I really like this moisturiser and have repurchased many times.

The thing that drew me in was the good spf factor of 30+. I usually hate the heavy greasy feel of sunscreen but find that this moisturiser has a pretty good feel to it. I find that it's a little shiny by itself but just right under foundation.

On bb cream days I use this moisturiser on the neck area.

It's a great "go to" and is often on special at Countdown or The Warehouse.

It has a pleasant fragrance, not too heavy or perfumy.

I've never had a reaction from this product.

I'll keep buying it for sure.

I am always on the look out for a day cream moisturiser that has SPF in it to wear under my make-up. Many other SPF creams I have tried have left me with breakouts, but when I purchased the sensitive version of this product I was instantly in love.

It doesn't have a scent which is great for my skin, and feels light on my face even though it goes on relatively thick. It works perfectly under my foundation and doesn't cause me any breakouts at all. Without make-up it does look a little shiny but that will be the combination of sunscreen and moisturiser ingredients suited for dry skin types.

It is a reasonable price in all supermarkets so suits my student budget really well. The little pot container is also great because you can really ensure you are getting all of the product out before you buy a new one.

I found this from a friend and now it is my go to daily moisturizer. I really like its thick consistency because you only need a little bit of it. Its also quite cold as well and freshens you up. It sets well and doesn't leave you feeling greasy. I use it every day and before make up and it really hydrates my skin. Sometimes i even smudge it over my lips to make them hydrated too!

I have used this moisturizers for quite a while now. I mostly picked it because of the high spf 30 factor because protecting your skin from the sun is the best way to prevent aging. But its actually a surprisingly affordable and effective moisturizer as well and I'm really happy with it. It's not thick or greasy even with its high spf rating.

I have been using tinted moisturisers for years, never thinking about other ones. My old ones used to make my skin a lot darker then it should be so I started using this one. It makes my skin smooth and keeps my make-up on perfectly.

This is a great everyday moisturiser that is not too heavy but still adds hydration to your skin. I have combination skin and found this moisturiser to be fine to use even though it is targeted to those with "normal" skin. I like that this moisturiser has SPF in it because I always like to use a day moisturiser that has built in sun protection. Found that this moisturiser was nice and light and didn't feel too oily or sticky for my combination skin. It absorbed quickly into my skin and didn't take too long to dry. I was able to put make up on on top of this moisturiser without it still being tacky.

I like how this moisturiser has ocean minerals in it as they are meant to be good for your skin. I wouldn't say that this moisturiser provides deep hydration. I personally think it is more of light moisturiser. Therefore I probably wouldn't recommend this to someone with dry skin as you would want something with a bit more hydration.

This moisturiser has a light and refreshing scent. It doesn't really smell of anything in particular. The packaging is a tube rather than the pottle/container pictured above. I quite like having it in a tube as it makes it easy to get the product out.

Overall this is a great day moisturiser that I would purchase again.

Nice moisturiser, feels hydrating on the skin. Thick cream consistency. Love how it has a bit of spf in it. Subtle scent. A little does go a decent way when applying. A good basic moisturiser and very affordable. Xx

A friend of mine happened to mention that this was her daily go-to moisturiser so I thought I'd give it a go. First off, amazing price for a daily moisturiser, whether you pick it up from the supermarket or online. Basic packaging and standard Nivea scent. The cream was a little thicker than I would like, but I put that down to the spf30. Easy to apply after washing your face, or in my case a quick swipe over with micellar water. I did find the scent was a little overwhelming the first few days but I soon got used to it. It's not a bad smell, or that overpowering, just different from my usual. I found it did take a little extra to soak into my skin, but it wasn't too thick. After a few hours it felt like it had 'worn off' and my skin didn't look as moisturised as it was earlier in the day and I definitely had a bit of shine showing up on my t zone. Would I use it again? Maybe in Summer if I need the extra layer of spf in the morning, but I'd be more inclined to just use a spf on it's own.

I purchased this cream along with the night cream when my skin was going through a oily, spotty phase. I wanted something light and protective, and this caught my eye especially with the SPF factor. The packaging is really nice with the white glass bottle- looks fancy. The texture is quite thick but goes a long way- not a lot is needed for face application which is good as it will last and it is super affordable. On application the cream soaks nicely into the skin leaving it feeling soft and not greasy at all, the scent is fresh and has hint on sunblock smell (to be expected). It didn't leave my skin shiny and it left my skin feeling lightly mouisturised throughout the day. It didn't interfere with powder application or CC cream over top. It worked as a nice base. This cream worked well for me when I had oily skin, after using it (with the night cream) for a few weeks my skin was no longer oily and my spots had diminished. Unfortunately when my skin got back to its normal self I began to develop very dry skin and dry patches on my face- that is when I went back to Cetaphil during the day. However I will use this again probably in the winter when I tend to get oily skin.
