NIVEA Q10 Power Replenishing Pearls Review

I got this product in the Top Rated BBBE and I was very happy to have the chance to try it.

It comes in a cute yellow and white box - I love yellow so that's a tick. It comes with two layers of cardboard though, a box and a sleeve. That's no tick - I'm not keen on wasting resources and the extra cardboard didn't seem necessary to me.

Inside is a cute bottle with a pump top. You pump the top and it squashes the pearls. Out pops a bright yellow squidge. You don't need to use much. I rub it sparingly into my face and neck before moisturising, morning and night.

Now I have to confess, I was lucky enough to try a Rolls Royce brand of serum similar to this that I was very fortunate to get from a previous vault. It was going to be very very difficult for any other product of the same type to meet that standard. So did it?

Well, the product claim is "pure anti wrinkle power for a refined and younger looking complexion". Hmmn. I have to say, it feels lovely gliding into my skin and I would say my skin does feel plumper, tighter and more refined. As to whether I look younger? I can only hope! But my skin feels good and feels like it looks as good as it can for my age. So yes it does.

The scent? subtle and perfumey and I love it. I do also love the colour, weird as it sounds. All this for an excellent price.

So, I have to agree with my esteemed fellow beauties, this product deserves it's top rating. I highly recommend it.

I am so, so, so in love with this serum! When it arrived in the top rated BBBE I was a wee bit intrigued thinking how does this work? I could see these wee yellow balls inside the tube, first thought was ahh they're just decoration and the clear looking serum comes out. Haha no, that's not what happens!

The clear tube has a pump top lid I pump out two pumps and watch to see what happens ah ha it crushes the small pearl balls as it comes out! How cool is that I thought, I'm pretty sure I have never used a product like that before. I start massaging it into my face and watch as the rest of the crushed pearls sink into my skin and leave no trace of what they once were. It has a slight floral musk scent I must admit I'm not overly fussed it does smell kind of umm nana-ish.

I first used this at night time mainly because of the curiosity. As soon as I had massaged it into my face my skin looked almost brighter, but I wasn't going to get over excited too quickly as too many times I use something then gradually it loses its magic.

I had been using a very expensive *cough cough* several hundred dollars serum and to be honest it wasn't doing much, I didn't think a cheaper supermarket serum would do a lot but holy moly I'm wrong, so very very wrong! I've been using this for several weeks now and every time I put it on at night my skin looks fresh and even in the morning it still looks fresh. It doesn't leave any oily or sticky residue which is another reason I love this. It leaves my skin ready for moisturiser, and makes my moisturiser absorb that wee bit quicker.

I love this serum and it is easily better than the several hundred dollar serum and I will repurchase.

Love this product, i think it is a great addition to the Nivea range. I love the pearlicent color of it and the smooth texture it has, It feels so great on my skin ive had so many compliments whilst wearing the product .

This gem was in one of the latest beauty boxes and my favourite treasure out of the box. I had been put off buying anti-aging creams from the supermarket through some not so great experiences. BUT this anti-aging has been a totally great experience. It is a light cream - quite yellow - very moisturising and my skin looks better for it, those wrinkles not looking so wrinkled. My sensitive skin hadn't reached at all. Will I buy this again - most definitely And I've found it in the supermarket for under $30. Well worth the money.

I usually use Olay, out of habit mostly I think, but when I ran out of my usual Olay serum-moisturiser and couldn't find it at the supermarket, I decided to try this.

It's unusual, the little pearls make for an odd application, but it's not unpleasant.

I like the bottle, you can see how much you have left. The pump is sturdy.

I've been using this for about a month now and it's brilliant. I've read reviews that mention how soft their skin feels - it's so true! My skin is usually prone to dryness but it's been soft and supple. I have noticed my wrinkles look less wrinkly and I feel I look like a healthier me.

I have sensitive skin but haven't had any issues with this, even though it's fragranced.

I love NIVEA's body cream and am now determined to try more of their skincare products.

Looks like pearls are a girl's best friend!

I'm always a bit suspicious about 'revolutionary' products, I mean, hasn't it all been done before? Well...no, it turns out.

This is a weird product. Like, there's actually little 'pearls' in the formula. When I read about it, I kind of thought the pearls would burst or something before it was dispensed, but nope, they get mixed in. You can actually feel them as you apply the product.

1 small pump does your whole face (and I have a moon face!). You do need to pay attention to rubbing it in, it took me a few days to get used to the initial texture on my skin and the amount I needed.

After the first few uses my skin felt hydrated and soft - like baby smooth. After regular use over the last few weeks, I've noticed my fine lines have reduced - a lot.

So being a serum, I was still using my regular moisturiser after, but after a week I tried it on it's own and my skin still felt soft and moisturised.

It's a brilliant price, and you can see how much product you have left which I like.

So...negatives. The fragrance. It's weird. But it doesn't last more than a few minutes and therefore will not affect my rating of this fab supermarket find!

I do love how the pearls come out of the nozzle all mushed up, more creamy than other serums that seem oily. I especially like that it's not oily. The product does absorb into my skin quite quickly and it does leave my face feeling soft and smooth. I have noticed that my face is generally softer looking and that does make it look younger as well.

There was no way I wasn't going to try this product, it sounded amazing - and the price was around half that of other serums I've tried, so I was interested to see if it could live up to more expensive brands.

First of all the packaging is cute and functional. A solid plastic tube with pump that pushes product upwards as time goes on, so no waste and the ingredients are kept fresh. I really like that you can see the pearls encased in the gel and that you can see how much you've got left so you know when to buy some more. (And I will be buying some more.)

The product pumps out and the pearls kind of break, I then rub them together and apply all over my face (I use a whole pump for just my face.) The smell initially wasn't my favourite, but I've grown used to it and it doesn't bother me now, it also fades quickly once on the skin.

What amazed me initially about this was that my skin actually felt softer after using it. Usually I'll wake up after applying serum at night, have a shower and it feels like the benefits are washed away - in this case the smoothness remained and does so throughout the day after reapplying (I use it day and night). Not only is my skin feeling better it appears to have evened out a lot and looks fresher.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this, I had high hopes but having not used Nivea in the past I was a little nervous, turns out I had nothing to worry about. This serum is comparable with more expensive serums I've used and it's half the price. What's not to love?
