NIVEA Cream

You honestly can’t beat these old time classics. There’s a reason they’re still around. I have super dry skin at especially at winter when my skins feeling extra thirsty I use this on my face. I also have times when I’ve tried prescription retinoids for anti aging that absolutely thrash my skin and this is the best thing to help with hydration and keeping the moisture in. It’s also handy to keep a small tin in your purse to use as a hand cream. It’s a very heavy product so I wouldn’t advise for oily acne prone skin but if you suffer from dryness this is just such a great simple product. Also if you’re ever able to get your hands on the German version I’ve heard it’s the absolute bees knees and compatible to a luxe brand moisturiser.

I'm on my second tin of this. I bought this after seeing the buzz online about it being a dupe for the expenisve luxury brand LA MER moisterizer. At first I didn't like it and wondered what everyone was talking about. It smelt like something for old ladies to me and when I tried to apply a gob of it to my face i was finding it very hard to spread it around and rub it in leaving me with white streaks over my face . Once I figured out how to apply it I liked it alot.it turns out I didn't need to be using so much and I rub between my fingers to melt it abit before dabbing onto my skin and patting it in. The scent actually grew on me too, it's strong and ideally I'd prefer the product without it but I find it to be quite pleasant now and adds to the enjoyable experience putting it on. The reason I ended up liking it is because the next day I woke with very soft skin and I like the glow I get too after freshly applying it. However, if I use it too often I break out so I only use this occasionally now. But I still want to keep a tin on my bathroom

This one is an oldie but a goodie so to speak lol. Love this cream, its quite thick but it still does the job just like any other. You really have to rub it in but it does last quite long. Love it!

This is my favourite for if I am in need of a heavy hydrating cream for really dry skin. I have used it on my face in the past when I've had dry flakey skin and it has fixed it up quickly without breaking me out. Also great for elbows, hands and feet etc. this is my go to product for when my skin gets real dry. I wouldn't use this on my face all the time though as it is heavy, I use it more as a treatment when my skin is super dry.

Quality product at a reasonable price. I think the only thing that has changed in the entire time I have used this is the pottle it come in. Use it wherever you have dry skin, it works a treat. You can use it as a spot treatment for elbows and knees, rough skin patches, or if you feel like spoiling yourself a deep moisturise of arms, hands, legs etc. There isn’t much of a smell to it so it won’t work against your perfume. You can pick this up at your local supermarket on the weekly shop, depending on where you go it should be under $10. If you want a comparable product think bodyshop body butter and if you like the thickness of them then you will like this.

I have used this for years on my body (arms,legs,feet,hands,etc) sometimes I would put a little on my lips if they were a little chapped and it worked great not the greatest taste but to be fair its not what it intended for,i find its a great quality affordable product that works!
