Nivea Creme

After running out of all my night creams, I wanted to try something cheap that would moisturize and soften my chronically dry skin. Nivea Creme works great as a spot treatment.

The cream itself is quite thick. It definitely reminds me of cream cheese. Using my fingers to "spread" this product all over my face seemed like a bad idea; I didn't want to overdo it. If you dab the cream in spots on the really dry areas of your face, you should be pleased with the results.

My parents used this on me since i was a baby. Great all purpose cream! a must for your medicine cabinet... tip.. use on your legs after shaving and you wont believe how incredibly soft they will be!

I have super dry skin, and our house is also dry, so i need something that can really moisturize my skin. when i was little, my aunt used to let me use her nivea lotion, i thought it was so special and nice smelling. so, i heard that nivea creme was good, and i tried it. it is really thick, but it's not lotion, its cream, so that's to be expected. it lasts longer than you would expect. i put it on my arms and legs especially, usually after a shower and sometimes before bed. when i forget, i feel the itchiness, and i dont get that when i remember to use it, so it's definitely working. i dont think its too greasy, it leaves my legs feeling nice and smooth. i would absolutely recommend this, especially since you can get it right in your drugstore, so it's easy and cheap, but works!

I am a HUGE fan of Nivea products and this is one of my favourites! Its a thick heavy cream (a lot like body butter) so I don't use it on my whole body ... I simply apply it to my feet and hands, after a shower and before I go to bed, and it makes them baby soft. Obviously being a cream it is very heavy and slightly greasy (like others have mentioned) but I find if you use it only at night, it does the job and you don't have to worry about being a butter fingers all day.

I use to use this cream when I was little. I totally agree it was a chore to put on everyday. Recommend trying something else.

One of my friend's recommended this creme to me, since I tend to get very dry skin, especially in the winter.

My first problem with this was the thickness of this cream. I'm not a fan of very runny lotions, and do look for creams that are a bit thick, unfortunately with the Nivea Creme, it was beyond thick. I found that when applying it, it was hard to rub in to my skin, as well in order to moisturize my entire hand I had to apply more of the lotion in different spots, as it did not spread very well.

Secondly, I found that it left my hands a tad bit greasy, in the places I did manage to apply the creme. As I work in an office, this is nuisance for me, as I find my keyboard and mouse with spots of grease on them after using the lotion. I also somewhat assume that these grease spots are my lotion wearing away, because it does not last long. I find that before long my hands are once more dry.

My last complaint about this lotion isn't too big of a deal, I'm just not a fan of the scent. It's a very light perfume/baby powder scent. It's not that strong...just not one I really like. I guess with scent though, that's subjective.

Thankfully I bought a small trial size of this for about $2, before spending more money on something larger.
