I bought this moisturiser because it said "pure and natural" and because the price was reasonable. I also do like Nivea products in general and felt it was a brand I could trust. Upon opening the container, I found the cream to be so thick that I immediately checked the label to make sure I hadn't accidentally bought a night cream. I was astonished that they would make such a thick cream a day cream. While I adore the scent, I find it just too heavy as an everyday moisturiser and my skin hasn't reacted very well either, with minor breakouts and a kind of clogged feeling. The cream is lovely and silky and absorbs well, but just too much for my skin (my skin type is normal - I have pretty good skin which hardly ever breaks out and isn't too dry). I would recommend this cream if you have dry skin or would like a heavy duty moisturiser, but be aware that it is pretty thick.

Reviews
I have the Moisturising Day Cream and have been using it every morning after washing my face and before makeup application.
The product is a white cream with a thin consistency. The product does work as a daily moisturiser but there was nothing special about it. I felt that it was just a facial moisturiser rather than a day cream and it didn't live up to the 24 hour intensive moisture and freshness claims!
I liked that the product was made from natural ingredients and it had a nice fresh scent (nothing too strong). I really liked the simple packaging which was made from a thick glass so it would look pretty on display in the bathroom rather than having to be hidden away in a drawer.
It made my skin feel soft and smooth but after finishing my current container I will probably try out a new day cream instead.
I found this product to be a good basic moisturiser that did not irritate my skin. although I did not think that it kept my face hydrated throughout the day like some other products I have used.
This product feels amazing going on your skin, its so silky and smooth and goes on nicely. Did however make my nose a bit oily which was disappointing, but it did clear up the dry skin i had around my forehead area (Yay!!) Overall a very good product and i will continue to use it.
Tips: Great if you have sunburn!!! So soothing!
This moisturising day cream goes on nicely but seems to take a while to absorb into the skin but in saying that it is not a negative just feels different to other moisturisers I have used. It tended to give my face a matt look when it was eventually absorbed therefore my face didn't have a nice healthy glow. I do like the packaging I feel that a jar is easier to use and also there is no waste because you can get every last bit of cream from the bottom of the jar. This makes it good value for money.
Firstly, I love that Nivea are starting to bring out more natural products. I'm a big fan of anything natural or organic, so I was really excited to try this out. However, it just really didn't work for me. It felt velvety and nice to put on, but overall it was just too thick and heavy for my skin and caused me to break out and get oily during the day. It would probably be fantastic for someone with really dry skin, though - I ended up using it as a night cream on any dry areas of my skin and it worked like a charm. It's just a bit too heavy for a day cream unless you really need the moisture. Smelled lovely, as most Nivea products do, and I liked the packaging and little glass container it came in. Overall, I liked it a lot but it really just didn't do great things for my skin when used as directed.
Tips: A little goes a long way - and it's even more effective when used as a night cream.
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.
I used this as I was using the other products for cleansing and toning and thought I might as well try all three to see the effect. I found this one a little oily, not too bad but a little oily. I have oily skin to begin with so if you have normal-dry skin this would probably work quite well!
Tips: Great if you have normal-dry skin
I like this product as a 'back up' for those times that I've run out of my usual, or if I feel like a change. I like the idea that is mostly natural. It feels very hydrating and gives your skin a nice plump feeling. I wish it wasn't in a jar as it's goodness is probably lost on its initial opening but I guess it keeps costs down. Price wise it offers good value and it does a good job. Would recommend if you like the idea of using natural products and don't want to spend a fortune.
I have tired other Nivea products and moisturisers, as even though I would buy them again, I really do like this one. It has a nice light formula and very light scent. This product really did leave my face smooth and soft and low irritant as well.
My only bug bear - no SPF!
