NIVEA Q10 Power Replenishing Pearls Review

This product has become a firm favourite of mine and absolutely suits my skin type.

Its comes in a self dispensing 40ml push pottle, I have a love hate relationship with self dispensing pottles, often it dispenses too much but on the other hand is hygienic. I only half push for the perfect amount essentially having the product last twice as long.

Little yellow pearls are very small and melt into skin quickly however take care to smooth a little longer than usual (this could be why it feels so nice once absorbed too).

I used it last year and found my pesky wrinkles in-between eye brows & cheeks reduced by 80%, I was so very satisfied. Funny how once you’ve got something you take it for granted. 4 months later I have purchased again as it didn’t take long for those pesky wrinkles to reappear & bother me more and more again. It was getting annoying trying to deal with them too when applying foundation.

These pearls have helped to even out my skin and reduce the fine lines only after 5 days & expect to see then deminish more over the next few weeks.

Claims that it reduces deep wrinkles, provides instant moisterization and refines complexion. I wouldn’t say it provides moisterzation like when you apply a thick moisterizer but skin feels moisterized after applying, like my skin doesn’t feel thirsty but feels dry (hope this is explained adequately). Not at all drying & had no issues with breakouts etc.... Other claims are pretty much spot on HOWEVER don’t expect to be singing off the roof tops, it is in my opinion a good all round product when used with other products.

I have found there is no coverage for foundation so using with a good moisturizer &/or serum is still needed.

I use morning and night after cleansing & toning but before moisturizing etc...

It comes with the classic Nivea Q10 fragrance and fits into the Q10 family of products well.

Price at $29.99 is a little pricey however Nivea is available at Countdown and The Warehouse with them often having great 2 for 1 deals or good discounts. I don’t want to be without this product now and it can easily fit into my budget (I can’t pay for anything full price when I know it will certainly be on special at some stage), two have been brought over the weekend & one will always be spare (just incase  )....love love my “just just in case” stash.

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?

I found this does as it says. It was of a light consistency which was quickly absorbed into the skin leaving it feel immediately softer & moisturized . I noticed it softened fine lines immediately & over time it helped reduce deeper lines I had, leaving my skin looking smoother,younger & refreshed. I would recommend this & I am going to keep using it

I was excited to trial this product as the serum I normally use is hard to come by in NZ and it would be good to have an easily available alternative. I unwrapped the packaging as soon as I got it in my hands and pumped some of the product onto my hand. First thing I noticed was the smell - kind of old lady talcum powder with some weird chemical smell, however after using the product for just a couple of days I no longer noticed. The product comes out of the tube easily, looks a bit like scrambled eggs and as the bottom of the pump moves up as you use the serum there should be little or no wastage. The product spreads easily on the skin and soaks in straight away. Feels great but in the two weeks I've been using it I haven't seen any real change in my skin however my skin feels just as good as it normally does. I would definitely recommend this product to people who haven't used a serum before, it's an affordable product that makes your skin feel nourished. I will finish the bottle then go back to my normal Boots No 7 serum however this will be a good backup if I can't get hold of that.

The bottle and wee pump dispenser are nice and easy to use. Cream is clear with yellow soft beads that disperse easily, looks a bit like scrambled eggs but don't worry it doesn't feel like them! It smells lovely and feels nice on the skin. Instructions say to apply before your usual moisturizer. Seemed a bit like double moisturizing to me, but I followed along. I've been using for about 10 days, twice daily, so far. It's a nice product but to be honest so far I can't see any change in my face/wrinkles. In saying that I am 44!! Maybe I've left my run too late

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

The packaging of this product is very appealing. The box is sunshine yellow, and has an image of the product in actual size on the side. A great feature. The dispenser itself continues the visual appeal. I liked the clear side so I could see how much of the product remained, and the yellow "pearls" looked good.

There were limited application instructions on the packaging - press dispenser nozzle, and apply to cleansed skin were the sum of the instructions. There was no indication how much of the product to use. I.e. One pump for whole face etc.

On dispensing the product was an unfortunate shade of yellow familiar to milk fed babies. The product appeared smooth on the finger tips but when applied there were distinguishable "skins" from the pearls, and while these did eventually rub into the skin it seemed counter-intuitive to be applying an anti-wrinkle cream with that much pressure. The product is scented and when applied without a following day/night cream this scent was noticeable.

So, did it give me younger looking skin? Well, yes and no. I did not notice much difference to the wrinkles, but it did make my skin resemble that of a teenager... I.e. Prone to breakouts. Too rich a formula for me.

I have used morning and night after cleansing and haven't noticed any fewer wrinkles or change to my present wrinkles but I have noticed that my skin definitely feels softer and smoother lately. Definitely didn't make my face feel dry at any stage even after I had applied and left a bit before I applied my moisturizer. The bottle is full of these yellow pearls full of Coenzyme Q10 which are in a clear moisturizing gel, once pumped the pearls burst and mix with the gel as it comes out. I only needed one pump and that was enough to apply to my face. Loved the scent and loved the feel of it going on my face, not greasy at all and definitely has a silky feel about it. Very easy to use bottle and pump system and no mess. At this stage I was not using a Nivea moisturizer but am thinking it would be a great addition to the Nivea Q10 Plus range.

I loved this product, from the first time I used this product I felt my skin tighten, especially around my eyes! Used with my regular day cream my skin felt hydrated all day, it was great! I would definetely buy it again!!
