A characteristic Nivea package arrived with the tell-tale white packaging and blue know lettering of the Nivea brand. What did catch my eye is the new additional green on the packaging and easy to read Naturally Good - Organic branding on the outside. The slight play on the green really catches one’s eye to positively promote Organic cream. Not a fore stander of cardboard packaging and think it is an absolute waste. I am not sure if the plastic container is recyclable and need to have a closer look.
The day cream has a nice and creamy and found when applying it seems to be a bit heavy, however it would ease out and not heavy for day wear. It spread easily over my face and left it nice and smooth. I have not tried to wear makeup with this day cream. I like that the product is organic, and states it is free of parabens, silicones, mineral oils and phenoxyethanol. However, what is disappointing is that it does not seem to have any SPF.
It had a definite aloe vera smell but I did not find it offensive, I am normally hypersensitive to smell. I only had to do use a bit to smooth over my face and neck area. I think it is rich enough to be used during winter months. I prefer products with SPF because my skin burn and discolour easily.
I think that using the product for longer will help to reach its full potential. Although I used it for more than two weeks, they say visible results in 14 days, I did not see much of a difference in my skin texture yet. However, I will keep on using the products. Overall, I liked the product, but it was not my favourite.
I was lucky enough to trial this product and I'm glad I did! First off the box is really nice, looks fancy and I love the botanical feel to it inside is the classic white plastic jar which I'm used to seeing from Nivea, I love the jar and the easy screw off lid is great.
The fragrance is amazing. It's quite a strong botanical fragrance and I just love it. It makes me feel fresh and clean all day long. The formula is non greasy and it's lusciously creamy, I could bathe in it, mainly because of the scent haha! It kept my skin feeling velvety soft all day. I love that the product really lasts! A little truly goes a long way and I feel the jar would last quite a long time with daily use.
My final thoughts are that for the price you can't go wrong. My skin has improved in the way it feels. It feels hydrated and some unevenness has gone. Fine lines around my eyes have improved slightly too and I've only used the product for close to 2 weeks.
Tips: Less is more and follow up at night with the matching night cream!
