I got this in the first Beauty Box and I was very curious to try it out. Anything that may allow me to streamline my morning routine is always welcome! Unfortunately though, this one's just not right for me.
I have the shea butter variant and found that it did have a pleasant enough fragrance, but quite generic and nothing too exciting. It's a thick product, which initially seemed promising, but I found it hard to squeeze out of the bottle. I think this is a combination of the moisturiser's consistency and the bottle design. Either way, these little things contribute to my morning grumpiness.
It felt thick and creamy going onto my skin but I found the effects were minimal once I was rinsed off and out of the shower. My own skin type could be to blame for this as it's very dry and problematic skin. Either way, this lead to me having to moisturise my arms and legs for a second time.
I'm generally not one for letting a product go to waste though if I don't absolutely hate it. I started using it for shaving after I unexpectedly ran out of shaving gel. It works much better for this purpose and will keep using this way until I finish the bottle.
unfortunately for me this product did not hydrate my skin at all, i found that once my skin was wet it just wasn't going to absorb.
its scent was no different from any other nivea moisturizer that i had used before and the texture was no different either.
after some time i found another use for this product so that it would not be wasted. I began using it as a shaving cream on my legs, the results were great! it seemed that the product absorbed better while i was shaving (in the bath instead of the shower) and it also gave my legs the most cleanest shave ever!
i would say at the end of the day it could have just been me that it didn't work well on as my skin is never usually dry.
Tips: use it as a shaving cream!
