NIVEA Q10 Power Replenishing Pearls Review

I was excited to try this product being a massive fan of Botox. I am all for anything topical that will assist with anti ageing, I mean who isn't once you hit 40 right? I used this product morning and night for around 10 days from the time I received it and I can't say I noticed a significant difference, there was a minimal amount of fine lines (laugh lines) around my eyes but I wouldn't go out on a limb and say it was noticeably improved. Quite possibly there may be an improvement using this product over a longer duration but it is definitely not an instantaneous result.

Alrighty! Well I was super excited to try this product! I don't really have major wrinkles but I do have a few fine lines and things so I was excited to start using something that may help get rid of them! I quite like this product, it smells yum and is easy to use. The packaging is pretty cool, you can see the "replenishing pearls" in the bottle. There is a pump that you just push down and the product comes out. On the packaging it does state that you can use as a base for make up which actually worked really well for me as it provided a smooth, matte surface :). One negative however would be that the actual product looked a bit like yellow, chunky vomit which was pretty off putting but it smelt nice so it was ok haha! I was expecting the pearls to smush down a bit more to actually be like a serum which is what the packaging states it is but hey, the smell saves it!! Overall I did notice a subtle difference to my fine lines around my eyes but nothing hugely noticeable, but I will continue using it and see what happens!! = watch this space :D

I very luckily won this off beauty reviews Facebook page as a spot prize. I loved that I won this but I know I would have bought one myself anyway as I'd been seeing it advertised and it looked like a really cool product.

This comes in one of those airless pumps. That means your product will stay fresher for longer and you don't get any bacteria from your hand in it. Plus it's quite neat to slowly see the product getting used up as the bottle is see through. You get 40mls in this which doesn't sound like a lot but I've been using this for around 2 months and I still have product left.

Now this product is called serum pearls and you can see the little yellow beads through the packaging. When you pump this out, you get a bright yellow sort of separated looking lotion. I use to my fingers to rub it together and then apply all over my face. I use one whole pump plus a tiny bit more. This does my whole face, neck and a bit onto my chest. This has a very strong perfumed scent. I'm used to it now but I wish it was unfragranced as I don't really like using perfumed products on my face. This sinks into my skin very quickly without being greasy. It gives a little hydration too.

I really haven't noticed any difference in my skin though. I don't think it's because of the product, I just don't think I have enough wrinkles to notice an improvement. I'm 30 and only really have slight eye lines when I smile. I'd try this out again in maybe 5 years though to see if it would help me out then.

There was a lot of buzz on social media when this was released, anything to do with anti-aging and they've got my attention (and money). It was a wonderful surprise to get this is the Top rated Best beauty box ever, one of the products that wasn't mentioned as it was a secret surprise and one of the first products I opened from that beauty box.

The packaging looks great and one I hadn't used before, the air pump dispenses the yellow pearls and as soon as they reach my skin they absorb so easily. The first few times of using this I applied too much, which made the cream hard to rub in, all the parts that couldn't absorb into my skin just hardened above the surface looking like bits of dried skin. 2-3 pumps are more than enough to apply to my face and neck.

I like how the little pearls melt into my skin, they give my skin a natural glow and hydrates under my eyes within seconds of applying. I am also impressed with how long the small bottle lasted me, for a small bottle and using it everyday it lasted 3 months.

Overall I didn't see much improvement on the wrinkly side of things. I have a lot of fine lines under my eyes, smaller ones on my forehead and smile lines, all of these didn't lessen over time or change unless I had freshly moisturized my face with this product.

I was happy with how well it made my skin look and feel but wasn't happy with the wrinkle side of things. I wouldn't purchase this in the future.

The packaging of this product is very appealing. The box is sunshine yellow, and has an image of the product in actual size on the side. A great feature. The dispenser itself continues the visual appeal. I liked the clear side so I could see how much of the product remained, and the yellow "pearls" looked good.

There were limited application instructions on the packaging - press dispenser nozzle, and apply to cleansed skin were the sum of the instructions. There was no indication how much of the product to use. I.e. One pump for whole face etc.

On dispensing the product was an unfortunate shade of yellow familiar to milk fed babies. The product appeared smooth on the finger tips but when applied there were distinguishable "skins" from the pearls, and while these did eventually rub into the skin it seemed counter-intuitive to be applying an anti-wrinkle cream with that much pressure. The product is scented and when applied without a following day/night cream this scent was noticeable.

So, did it give me younger looking skin? Well, yes and no. I did not notice much difference to the wrinkles, but it did make my skin resemble that of a teenager... I.e. Prone to breakouts. Too rich a formula for me.

I liked the way it smelled but the smell was too strong especially for sensitive skin. The consistency of the product wasn't creamy it came out with sploges of oil and sploges of cream and I really didn't like the way it felt on my skin, it was very greasy, extremely hard to smooth out. I liked that the cream (after successfully smoothing out on your face) didn't leave my face oily though! I didn't see major difference although I saw a slight difference in the way my skin looked. The tube was a good size, probably would last me a while.

packaging was easy to open appealling i found that when you push the dispencer to put the product on your face it was gluggy but rubbed in very easy nice smell i didn't notice any change in my skin or wrinkles

This cream didnt start off on a good note wuth me when I had to fight my way thru more than 1 layer of packaing. In this day and age of recycling and trying to save our planet it was a complete over kill. The product itself had a pleasant feel and smell about it. And I had no itchy reaction even though I have very sensitive skin. I never noticed any difference in any wrinkles or smile lines dissapearing but its only been 2 weeks so I guess thats an unrealistic timeline! I just didnt love the packaging in anyway.

I decided to give this serum a go as I'd seen lots of advertising for it when it came out, it looks interesting and sounds like the perfect anti aging product.

Unfortunately I wasn't impressed with this one. I don't like the thick gluggy texture, and feel as if it's more so sitting on the surface rather than soaking in. I noticed dry bits of the product in places at times..

It feels ok on my skin however, reasonably soothing, but I didn't notice any difference in lines, not that I have many..

This product just didn't do much for me, and for that reason would not repurchase.
