NIVEA Q10 Power Replenishing Pearls Review

I have been applying Nivea Q10 Plus Replenishing Peals every morning for the last 10 days, after I clean my face and before I put on my makeup. The pearls contain "coenzyme Q10" in a silky hydrating gel. It feels light on my face, like a foam, and doesn't leave my face oily to the touch. After 10 days, my skin looks brighter and feels very smooth although I think to notice some of my wrinkles dissipating, I'll need to keep applying it - which I will. There is quite a bit of packaging with this product, I think one box is enough but something else worth mentioning is the lovely fragrance - slightly powdery, a little floral, its a lovely way to start the day.

I was really excited to try this product because the Nivea name (to me) is a 'classic' brand - my mother used cream products. I am in the 50 plus age range now so maybe I think about wrinkles more than some of you younger gals.

First Impressions The packaging is robust, with a sleeve covering the product box and a clever incorporated insert (inside the box) to keep the product upright. It can be quite disappointing to open product to find some missing or leaking. An informative colour booklet is also included.

The bottle is a nice size, purse handy if you travel. You get product via a handy wee pump which I did not expect.

I did not realise at first that I was seeing the actual 'pearls' through the partially transparent bottle. This suggests 'honesty' - I have been jaded at times over various advertising techniques.

The scent is fresh and light, not overwhelming - pleasant, as is the feel of the pearls in the carrying liquid. The pearls are not gritty - they break up and are quite easily absorbed.

Product is cooling around the eyes - a really pleasant feeling. The moisture it provides is very good, I used it on my eyelids as well with no adverse effects.

Day 2 I thought I noted improvement. Day 3 I knew there was improvement. It feels really, really nice.

A vain man in the household, also 50 plus couldn't wait to trial the product either and says he has noticed he's a bit 'wrinkle-less'. He really likes the product and intends to keep on using it.

Well done Nivea - good product and good price xxx

Fist impressions are that is a cute package with a nice, easy to use pump. One squirt is plenty, I concentrated on the eye area. At first you think it isn't going to go well, but keep gently rubbing in and it sort of melts nicely into the skin. My skin felt nourished. The fragrance is pleasant. As for the effects, I'm not sure I've seen any change to my fine lines but I will definitely keep using it nightly until finished.

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

been using for a bout 5 nights still seems strange to put on your face as not use to little balls as a moisturizer , also has a different smell cant seem to put my finger on what it smell off but its not unpleasant Skin seems softer haven't noticed a lot with fine lines yet but defiantly plan to keep using it,am using in conjunction with the Q10 eye cream so between them am hoping for the best results :) but in the mean time am loving trying this product

I have been using this product daily for over a week now. Initially the smell was quite "medicinal" to me but it has grown on me and now is a "fresh" part of my day. I love that it is a pump (none of that thumping the bottom of the bottle or digging around in the pot). I found the texture of the pearls great as they disintegrate and are silky smooth but the surprise was the bright yellowness! I found the texture and absorption great and it goes on quickly and the results are starting to show already and doesn't feel heavy or fake and "layered" on. I don't feel I want to use too much more of this type of product as they usually seem expensive and a bit excessive but this one is a lovely addition and is making a difference to me. I would totally recommend this and I am seeing the difference daily.

As a user of high end skincare (and we're talking an anti ageing moisturiser that costs over $150 per pop) I was somewhat sceptical about the claims for this. Could it live up to it's higher priced counterpart? I was eager to find out!

This product comes in a pump bottle which I like as you're not sticking your fingers in the jar. What initially looks like a label with graphics of wee yellow pearls, actually turns out to be the product itself. You pump out your product and you can actually squish the little balls in your hand. I've been using this product for 2 weeks now and I can honestly say that it gives my higher end product a run for it's money (and more). It absorbs quickly and I can definitely see a noticeable decrease in the wrinkles around my eyes and I can honestly say...my skin has never looked better!

The only downside for me is the fragrance, i'm not sure what it smells of but it's not my cup of tea at all. Nivea has such an iconic fragrance associated with it's original cream and its body lotions that i'm intrigued as to why they feel they need to move away from this into something else in the face care products..but hey..I can live with it for the results it delivers.

So the answer to the question of will I be trading in my $150 moisturiser for this? Hell yes!

This had lovely packaging, and a informative leaflet.The product had a lovely smell. I thought the pump action bottle was great, but the actual appearance of the product was unappealing to the eye, yellow and with lumpy bits of the pearls.I had to massage it in my palm to get a smooth consistency prior to application, otherwise i noticed i had yellow area on my face after the product dried. It was absorbed well, and had a lovely non greasy feel. One of my facial laugh lines has been visibly reduced after using morning and evening for a week. A lovely product, so do not be put off by its appearance.
