My Desert Island product!

If I could only have one body product it would be this cream. I have purchased this time and time again and it is my most preferred handcream. I also love this as my all over body cream in winter when my skin is at it's worst! It also makes a great foot cream worn under socks before bedtime. I also have used in in a pinch as a cream cleanser, a face cream and a leave in conditioner. I have also used it as an emergency lip treatment and it worked pretty well too. I have this in large tubs, tubes and a tiny wee tub for my handbag. Consistency - thick yet lightweight at the same time, makes me feel instantly hydrated and the scent is a mix of traditional nivea but with an aquatic note which is very soothing and refreshing and somehow seems to meld well with all of my perfumes without overpowering. The jojoba oil seems to sink deep down into the layers a lot better than Soft's sister product the deep navy blue jar of Nivea cream which is more like a barrier cream (which I also adore). For me the original Nivea despite being heavier is better for my face for long term use as soft will break me out if I use it continuously (around the hair/jawline) but the weird thing is it is surprisingly soothing and I sometimes use it as a calming cream on insect bites and hives too, maybe my face is just extra sensitive? Anyway I love this moisturiser and it is great value and I also really like that they have removed the parabens from this product in recent times.

Tips: Get the big jar for home and the squeeze tube for on the go!

Holy grail moisturiser!

I personally only use this on my body; I have used it on my face but I found it to be a bit too heavy under my makeup, other than that it was great. It has that signature nivea smell and I love it! It's really affordable and you can buy it almost anywhere. I usually buy the tub just because I feel like I can find it easier than the tube but I feel like the tube would be more sanitary as you're not sticking your fingers in it all the time.

Tips: Buy it in the tube!

Nice n creamy all the way.

Have to give this product top marks seeing that I have purchased it over and over again. It's the only moisturiser that my husband seems to like using seeing that it comes in a 200ml pot for $12.99 at the supermarket. It lasts us a good three to four months. The texture is very soft and creamy, easy to spread and does make your skin feel moisturised and replenished. You can use it as a day or night cream and it's suitable for hands and body. No irritating strong smell and thankfully no reactions.

Tips: Great as a aftershave balm and moisturiser.

Moisturising cream

My everyday moisturiser. Its creamy and absorbs into your skin so easily. With some moisturisers ive found that they can leave an oily residue, Nivea Soft Moisturising cream is definitely not one of those creams. A little goes a long way with it. I got this product on sale for $7 at the warehouse and it has lasted me over 6 months daily moisturising my face. Its not one of those products that's cheap because it doesnt work, its something that is definitely worth spending money on whether its $7, $14 or $100. I will continue to buy this product. I have normal to dry skin and i apply this morning and night and my skin is so hydrated throughout the day.

Nivea Soft moisturising cream

I love this product. I only use it on my face and neck. I have sensitive skin. I like the fact that it doesn't have a strong fragrance, it's quite thick and creamy but light at the same time, goes on easily, moisturises well and is not sticky. My 20 year old daughter has also been using it as her facial moisturiser for several years now and she also loves it.

Tips: Buy the tub for better value.

Everyday moisturiser

I have been using the Nivea soft moisturising cream for a couple of years now and it is by far my favourite drugstore moisturiser. It does an amazing job at keeping my skin hydrated, especially in the Winter when my skin tends to get very dry! It doesn't have a strong scent to it, it just smells very clean and fresh and its perfect for those who need a little extra hydration. It's great for sensitive skin, it doesn't irritate my skin at all! And it can be used on your face, body, hands, feet and anywhere. The consistency is creamy but at the same time it feels like on the skin and easily glides on and doesn't leave it feeling oily.

soft as a baby's bottom

I absolutely LOVE this moisturising cream. The thick consistency means a little goes a long way. It absorbs easily into my skin, leaving it feeling moisturised and soft for hours. I like the fact that you're able to use it on your whole body (including your face) without leaving it feeling oily.

My hands tend to get dry a lot especially after washing it with soap. So you'll always find this in my handbag. I lke the fact that it comes in small pots which are perfect for travelling or fitting into your handbag. I've found that many creams seem to eventually sweat of my hands in hot weather however Nivea is able to last on my skin without leaving it all slippery.

Tips: If you looking for a moisturiser with a sent I wouldn't recommend this as there is little to no sent. However if you looking for a full body moisturiser I would definitely recommend it.

Soft

I have quite sensitive skin and I had been looking for a moisturizer for a while that wouldn't bring up rashes in sensitive areas on my face like around my eyes. I have found very little moisturisers in the past that I'm able to use long term, but as soon as I tried Nivea Soft I was really pleased. It is perfect for very sensitive skin and is also very lightweight/not too creamy. It isn't oily at all so it's great for wearing under makeup. I use it daily and would highly recommend.

Multi-use, multi-benefit, affordable pampering

I have lost count of the number of tubes/pots of this I have been through in my time. It's been around for years, and it's stayed reliable, affordable and effective.

Nivea Soft comes in a white pottle or tube with blue and green labelling. It's marketed as a soft moisturising cream, which actually *undersells* what this product is capable of. I was able to buy it in Japan and so continued to use it there, and knew what I was getting every time.

I love that you can use this on both your face and body. It's hydrating enough to cope well with the needs of your body skin, but light and delicate enough to deal with faces as well. There is some sort of gypsy magic going on, clearly!

The cream is quite thick, but it's very smooth and light. it spreads well, and absorbs in under a minute. It has a softer, subtler version of the classic Nivea fragrance, which is reminiscent of baby powder, petals and freshness (to me anyway).

It leaves skin (no matter where you use it) soft, supple, silky and hydrated. It doesn't aggravate my eczema (when it occurs) or my oily facial skin. It doesn't necessarily HELP those things, but it certainly works harmoniously with them.

My current pottle of this is a small (50 ml) travel pottle I picked up in Australia for around $2.50, but I often have a tube of this when I travel/in my work bag, and a bigger pottle for use on legs/body post-shower. It has never let me down and - while I often get tempted away from it towards other products - am always eventually drawn back.

Tips: Worth a try! Being multi-purpose if you don't like it on your face, it's perfect for body, hands, feet....wherever. You can't lose.

Nivea Moisturiser

This is an old favourite of mine. I use this cream for everything, all the time: face, hands, lips, back, legs and of course any annoying dry spots. I have quite sensitive skin and can always rely on NIVEA Soft to supply a soothing moisturise when I need it. I have been through several large pots already! This moisturiser is especially helpful after a swim, when nasty Chlorines have dried out your skin. NIVEA soft then helps to replenish the moisture lost to the pool and keeps you feeling smooth and fresh :D

Tips: Keep some in the car or handbag, you never know when it will come in handy!
