Now over 100 years old NIVEA Cream is a great all purpose cream for dry hands and feet and chapped lips.

Use on those dry damaged areas, slather on your hands or feet and put a pair of gloves or socks on for super soft skin in the morning.

Multipurpose cream

I have been using this cream from years. Its a soft, creamy multipurpose cream which can be used as a moisturizer in all seasons. It has a soft thick texture and a unique sweet fragrance. I use it on my dry cracked lips and it works wonderfully. I apply it on my hands and arms as well when they need some extra moisture. Sometimes, I use it as a night cream too and it works pretty well. I apply it on my feet daily at night. However, I don't use it as a everyday moisturizer for arms and legs as I feel it makes my skin sticky and greasy and I only use it whenever I need some extra moisture. You just need to apply a small amount so if you buy it once, its surely going to last ages.

really nourishing

I have been using this on my face, I didn't realize it wasn't specifically for the face but I think it's been working well for me.

I have been using this as a night cream. It doesn't have sunscreen in it and I prefer my day creams to have that in them. Also it is a very thick cream, it actually reminds me of an emulsion cream that you would use on a baby's bum. It's not quick absorbing and does leave a white cast over my face. Obviously for night use, this doesn't bother me. It doesn't mix well with other products or water though. I need to leave some time between applying my serum and putting this on otherwise it just won't rub into my skin or anything.

I have quite dry skin so I like the thickness of this product, I can see why it would be perfect for dry feet and hands and knowing now that this product is for that reason, means I'll be giving it a go soon. If you have oily skin, I wouldn't recommend this at All!

Packaging is nice and simple, very classic nivea. This is also a heavily scented product, also a classic nivea smell. I not sure of to describe it, maybe a bit floral with a slight herbal note to It?

Overall, I like this product and would very likely pick it up again.

Banging Beauty

Ah, NIVEA, my faithful friend! NIVEA's cream is just fab, it moisturises well, it smells gorgeous and it isn't thick or greasy.

Better still, it is an all rounder so feels great as a hand or all over body moisturiser. I have sensitive skin which can get irritated easily but I have never had a problem with this product.

Tips: Keep a tub handy in the office, in the home and in your gym bag!

Makes a great hand cream

I bought this cream as I've never used it before and I had to at least say that I once owned one of these tins! So I can now tick that box off my list. There are many uses for this product (as I found out through reading an article here on beauty review), but I use this as a simple moisturiser, mostly a hand and nail cream. This cream is very hydrating and moisturising. I find it's great for moisturising dry hands and cuticles.

The consistency of this cream is quite thick, like a body butter. Therefore it's probably not suitable for an all over body lotion type thing. However, despite being thick, it did find the cream was easy to apply and run into my skin.

I found the texture to be quite oily, so it leaves an oily residue on your skin before it gets absorbed. It takes about 5 minutes for the cream to be absorbed into your skin.

This cream has a very traditional powdery sort of smell to it. It's not strong but not a faint smell. The version I have is a tin but this how comes in a container with a screw lid. I do find that over time my lid on the kid has started to come loose and occasionally pops off.

Overall this cream is great. I will continue to use it as a hand cream in my handbag. I'm not sure if I would purchase this again as don't think it's as versatile as its made out to be.

For the price, yes

This moisturiser is definitely value for money now would I reach for it as my go to no however as a face moisturiser it's pretty good, very thick consistency, has a floral scent not too overpowering but for me I used it on my arms and legs as it does provide all day moisture and I have keratosis pilaris so need extra moisture specifically in those areas. If it came in a bigger tin I would use a a body moisturiser consistently cause it doesn't take up too much room and it's very much like a body butter

Does the job for its price!

does the job, if you want something simple and fragrance free - with portable packaging then you can't really go wrong with this one.

Rich, intensively hydration for the skin

This rich creme gets absorbed quickly by the skin feeling smooth and soft. Perfect for dry winter skin and won't clog the pores. I slather it on my whole body after the shower. It has a classic vintage fower smell and is an affordable option. The 150ml tin can last ages in comparison to La Mers $100 face moisturiser.

Tips: Make sure you get the German Nivea (not the American) if you're sensitive to fragrance. The German NIVEA has a thick matte consistency and is non-greasy.
