NIVEA Q10 Power Replenishing Pearls Review

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.

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!

I feel like the only person who didn't see a result and/or love this product.

First off I hated the fact it came in 2 packages - such a waste of cardboard. BUT I loved the way the product looked - I couldn't wait to try the little yellow beads and see a difference. So easy to use, just pump out what you need (I needed 2 squirts for my face and neck) and rub it all in. At first it looks like congealed egg yolk and there's no way that will absorb into your skin but it does - so easily too.

The smell isn't overbearing but it's way too perfumy for my liking, but not enough to say it irritated my skin or anything. Downside was, I feel like there's absolutely no difference to my skin after using the entire bottle. I guess the best I can say about it was that my skin felt a little softer after using it. I wouldn't repurchase sorry :(

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!

There's hope! This serum promised to reveal a refined and younger looking complexion. After using it twice-daily for eight days, I don't know that I'm looking younger than my 50 years, but my skin is certainly feeling well-hydrated and firmer to the touch. The serum is attractively packaged - a compact, easy-to-hold pump bottle with an unfussy design. Great travel size or for throwing in your purse! The yellow serum 'pearls' appeared to be quite thick but smoothed beautifully onto my skin, were absorbed quickly and did not leave my skin feeling at all greasy. I have an oily T-zone but my skin tends to be rather dry around the cheek and neck areas. Two pumps of serum were needed to cover my face and neck and I let it dry for about a minute before applying my normal moisturiser and foundation. A nice bonus was that the serum had a matte effect so I didn't need to use a primer underneath my foundation. I'll definitely keep using the serum and hope the firming effect on my skin continues. Don't think there's much chance of my forehead frown lines disappearing but the skin around my eyes is certainly feeling less crepey.

Thank you for the chance to trial this product!

I’ve trialled this product both morning and night over several days and am impressed with it. There’s a mild smell which isn’t unpleasant and soon disappears and the product quickly sinks into the skin. I found it easy to dispense and a small amount went a long way. My skin reacted well and looked softer and more refreshed than usual. It worked well as part of my usual skin care routine and was quick to use which is a bonus!

40mls size bottle, loved the look of this product, the pearls are really different, pump action bottle, comes out easily, only need to use one pump as it goes on the face smoothly, i did notice the fine lines around my eyes were reduced and my skin felt smoother, didn't notice any difference with the deeper wrinkles, only thing i did not like was the fragrance, didn't smell that nice!

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.

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.
