NIVEA Pure & Natural Moisturising Day Cream

I love nivea products. Not sure if this one was meant to be used on your face. I did and found it just a little too greasy so have gone back to nivea Q10.

I used this as I was using the other products for cleansing and toning and thought I might as well try all three to see the effect. I found this one a little oily, not too bad but a little oily. I have oily skin to begin with so if you have normal-dry skin this would probably work quite well!

I like this product as a 'back up' for those times that I've run out of my usual, or if I feel like a change. I like the idea that is mostly natural. It feels very hydrating and gives your skin a nice plump feeling. I wish it wasn't in a jar as it's goodness is probably lost on its initial opening but I guess it keeps costs down. Price wise it offers good value and it does a good job. Would recommend if you like the idea of using natural products and don't want to spend a fortune.

This product has a great scent and is in a cute little jar. But not for me I'm afraid. I personally prefer pump top products - call me a germ-a-phobe but I think they're much more hygienic. Also economical since they measure a quantity out for you. I found it quite heavy compared to what I'm used to and took a long time to absorb. Better suited to someone with dry skin.

I have tired other Nivea products and moisturisers, as even though I would buy them again, I really do like this one. It has a nice light formula and very light scent. This product really did leave my face smooth and soft and low irritant as well.

My only bug bear - no SPF!

I bought this moisturiser because it said "pure and natural" and because the price was reasonable. I also do like Nivea products in general and felt it was a brand I could trust. Upon opening the container, I found the cream to be so thick that I immediately checked the label to make sure I hadn't accidentally bought a night cream. I was astonished that they would make such a thick cream a day cream. While I adore the scent, I find it just too heavy as an everyday moisturiser and my skin hasn't reacted very well either, with minor breakouts and a kind of clogged feeling. The cream is lovely and silky and absorbs well, but just too much for my skin (my skin type is normal - I have pretty good skin which hardly ever breaks out and isn't too dry). I would recommend this cream if you have dry skin or would like a heavy duty moisturiser, but be aware that it is pretty thick.

I have the Moisturising Day Cream and have been using it every morning after washing my face and before makeup application.

The product is a white cream with a thin consistency. The product does work as a daily moisturiser but there was nothing special about it. I felt that it was just a facial moisturiser rather than a day cream and it didn't live up to the 24 hour intensive moisture and freshness claims!

I liked that the product was made from natural ingredients and it had a nice fresh scent (nothing too strong). I really liked the simple packaging which was made from a thick glass so it would look pretty on display in the bathroom rather than having to be hidden away in a drawer.

It made my skin feel soft and smooth but after finishing my current container I will probably try out a new day cream instead.

I found this product to be a good basic moisturiser that did not irritate my skin. although I did not think that it kept my face hydrated throughout the day like some other products I have used.

The texture of this cream is really nice and my skin feels instantly hydrated. I like the packaging except the foil seal I found hard to open. The downside to this product is the scent, it smells highly perfumed, unsure if its just a natural smell or if its perfumed? I wouldn't use this again as it doesn't have any SPF in it and for a day cream in NZ I prefer to have a sunscreen.
