NIVEA Q10 Firming Body Lotion Review

It's easily absorbed moisturiser that really works for me especially when in a hurry. Its affordable but takes sone time before you can see the effects. It also has some subtle scent.

I used this regularly when I was losing weight and exercising a few years back to help that horrible flabby bits after you've burnt the fat away.

Following the directions I used all over straight after showering and found that over the coarse of about 3 months I found that it helped to bring back the elasticity of my skin and did indeed help the toning and firming, also turned the stretch marks into really fine silvery lines that became quite hard to be visible. However I wouldn't recommend using for months on end as I found after a few months that yes my skin was far more firmer but it was getting a tad oily as if I was over moisturising so had to take a wee break on it.

The large bottle worked out to be really affordable, lasting quite a long time as the lotion is quite thick and rich, applying with warm hands you get great coverage with very little.

Design wise its basic but the pump didn't fault at all, giving just the right amount each time. Only downside was the fact that once you got down to the last parts the pump wouldn't bring it up, but I just cut the bottle in half with some scissors and scooped it out towards the end.

As a moisturiser, this is an alright product, soaks in well and doesn't seem too greasy. I find the scent quite strong though. I didn't find that it tightened my skin at all like it claims, but I wasn't really expecting it to anyway. Good sized bottle which lasts a long time and is a good price.

I'm always a little dubious about products that claim to firm. I believe the biggest contributors to firm skin are genetics and water intake, so am unsure whether any product can make a huge difference if these are lacking.

This product goes on a little greasy but not excessively so. Once it absorbs I was definitely aware there was still a film of it there although this film did feel like it was in fact, tightening my skin. Short term I think I did feel an initial increase in firmness but long term no palpable difference.

The smell wasn't at all offensive (unlike other firming moisturisers I have tried in the past which shall remain nameless). It wasn't exactly nice though and in such a saturated market I find that a lovely scent can really set a product apart from the rest. If you prefer a more neutral scent this may suit you however.

Overall I was underwhelmed. There was nothing about this that wowed and nothing that really turned me off. I wouldn't buy again but will definitely be using up the rest of the bottle.

I tried this a while ago and didn't find it did much more than your average moisturiser, so didn't really impress me much.

It has a strong perfumed scent, which is pleasant but just a little too strong. I found the lotion thinner than what I would have liked it to be, I know lotions tend to be thinner than creams but this was just too runny for me (I'm thinking I may have got a bad bottle or something?). I found it moisturised my skin pretty well (not the best I have used but still not horrible) and the bottle lasted me a decent amount of time.

In terms of the claims this product makes about giving you softer, firmer, tighter skin....I don't think it really lives up to those statements. But for only $8 I didn't really think it would.

This is not a moisturiser I would repurchase or recommend as I have found much more hydrating moisturisers at a similar price point that I would much rather spend my money on.
