NIVEA Naturally Good Organic Avocado & Hydration Body Lotion

I have to admit that this is not a lotion that I would have picked if I saw it in a shop, but it really performed and I would definitely repurchase.

The packaging is nice and sleek, however when it comes to body moisturisers I usually choose based on scent. Organic avocado sounded soothing and clean, but I was worried it would be quite a bland scent.

Well, I was really pleasantly surprised! The scent is fresh but slightly creamy and reminds me of the original Nivea smell, but with a bit more sweetness/vanilla in there. The sleek packaging turns out to be a stand out part of the product too, as it has a 'squeeze and roll me up' feature to make sure you can get as much product out of the bottle as possible - I haven't come across this on a moisturiser before and I am really excited to see how well it works.

The moisturiser isn't overly thick however a little seems to go a long way. It's easy to rub in and leaves skin soft to the touch rather than greasy - even though it is aimed at dry skin it's not heavy so it would be fine to use even if you don't have dry skin, or in the warmer months etc. I noticed that I could apply it straight after shaving my legs and I got no irritation or stinging which was great, as the only time I apply body moisturiser is straight after a shower. Sometimes (especially in the colder months) my legs and arms can get flakey and even scaly. This moisturiser claims to keep skin moisturised for 48 hours - while I didn't quite go 48 hours without applying it, I did notice that my skin was scale and flake free each time I went to use it which was great.

This is not the most luxurious body lotion that I've ever used, but it does what it promises at a good price point which makes it perfect for everyday use. The lovely scent makes it a pleasure to apply, rather than it feeling like a chore. I would happily repurchase, especially during the colder months.

NIVEA body lotions and facial moisturisers have been my go to for years as they are, in my opinion the GOAT - supermarket budget friendly, effective and gentle on skin after shaving. 

My current standard body lotion is the NIVEA Express Hydration for normal to dry skin and I'd noticed my legs in particular really showing the signs of winter the last couple of months - a combo of the temperature, not exfoliating and not moisturising enough.

NIVEA's Naturally Good Organic Avocado & Hydration Body Lotion for dry skin comes in a recyclable bottle which uses 50% less plastic and can be squeezed and rolled up! Much better for the planet than a solid plastic bottle with a pump.

I’m not sure what “avocado” translates as on the list of ingredients, however the product has a pleasant smell and was the white colour and exactly the lotion texture I anticipated from NIVEA.

I give it a little time to absorb before dressing, ensuring my skin is dry to the touch before pulling clothes on to prevent pesky white marks. My legs in particular love it and soak it in.

This trial has spurred me to moisturise my body twice per day after showering and to exfoliate more regularly and I'm definitely seeing the difference.

This moisturiser is great. Really smooth and creamy. It is very easy to rub in and leaves my skin feeling hydrating without leaving a sticky heavy feeling. Will definitely continue to use and most likely repurchase it once I have finished with my current bottle. My only concern would be the thin packaging. I do understand that the packaging is "eco friendly" / good for the environment which is great! However the plastic seems to be very thin and I worry that if I accidentally drop this (which lets be honest, will probably happen) the whole bottle will burst. But it is a small price to pay for something that is good for the planet

Really enjoyed using this moisturizer, to be honest I've recently had a shoulder reconstruction and have been in an imobiliser sling so hadn't moisturised my legs etc for a good 6 weeks. They were in definite need!! The product smells great, subtle, is a great consistency and absorbs quickly into the skin without white streaks for too long. I love the 98% ingredients of natural origin which suits my sensitive skin and love how the bottle is 50% less plastic and can be rolled up to get the most / that last little bit out of the bottle. The packaging also encourages recycling and sustainability which I'm all about!

I do love a good Nivea moisturiser and this one did not fail to please. It is rich and moisturising without being greasy and the moisture lasts. My skin is looking much better since switching to this. My only slight dislike is that it isn’t very quickly absorbed into my skin and I spend quite a bit of time rubbing it in if I can leave it to soak in! But it is lovely and I guess a sign of how rich it is and the good oils in it. It smells nice too, and I love that the packaging is better for the environment (Who doesn’t?!).

I have been thoroughly enjoying trialing this moisturizer. It has a very silky texture that glides across my skin making it very easy to massage in and it leaves no oily or greasy residue. My skin feels very hydrated and it leaves it feeling very supple. I find the smell lovely and very subtle which I love. The other thing I really love about this product is the packaging. The bottle is made from very thin plastic which makes it very pliable and I'm pretty sure will allow me able to squeeze out 99% of the contents which is fantastic.

The first thing you'll notice that's different about this product is the packaging, being that its made with 50% less plastic it is very soft, similar in texture to a squeezey bottle. I thought this would make it hard to stand up but it stands perfectly fine and it will mean you can use it to the very last drop. This is a great improvement and I hope all products follow suit for the environments sake.

The product itself has a nice subtle scent that doesn't linger too long nor is it overpowering. It rubs in quickly and is non greasy. It left my dry skin feeling soft and smooth. It also worked wonders on my partners very dry cracked workshop hands. I would definitely recommend this product to all, and I will be looking for a smaller size to keep in my handbag for hand cream.

This is by far the best body lotion I have used. While my skin is always very dry, most seem to just 'sit' on my skin and leave it feeling sticky, and no amount of rubbing in solves that. This was the complete opposite. It needs hardly any rubbing in, but it just absorbs. No stickiness at all (I can even put a pair of skinny jeans on straight after!). It smells lovely. I'm just sad that I've already used so much and hoping I'll b able to find somewhere that sells it very soon.

This was a product I really enjoyed using. The bottle was made out of 50 percent less plastic which I liked, making it effortless to squeeze the lotion out. It had a mild scent and didn't interfere with my perfume, which was a definite bonus. A little bit went along way and absorbed well into my skin. My skin felt and looked more hydrated right after the first application, leaving my skin smooth. With continued daily use the dryness around my knees disappeared. I would happily recommend this to those looking for a body lotion, I know I'll be definitely buying it again.

After a week of trialling this moisturiser i can honestly say i have a new favourite moisturiser. My skin feels so smooth and looks so hydrated and soft. It is a smooth creamy consistency and it rubs in so well leaving my skin soft and hydrated. It doesn't have a sticky/oily residue either so applying right before bed or getting dressed is fine. A little goes a long way so the bottle will last a good while. Smells great and not too over powering, the scent also lasts on the skin which is great . I love how it is a more natural product, so much more beneficial for my skin. Love love love the packaging, 50% less plastic is AMAZING and the bottle design of squeeze and roll up is perfect so no product wastage towards the end of the bottle. Totally worth the price and would 100% purchase and recommend to a friend.
