8 years of use and still a favorite

This was a firm favorite at home growing up. However its thick creamy and greasy texture put me off growing up with very oily skin. When I moved to Johannesburg, aged 30, I had bought but almost never used moisturizer. But the dry winters here caused havoc with my skin. For the fist time I experienced dry skin and started to use moisturizer. I love skincare products, and I’m not shy to spend some money on a good product. I cycled from generic aqueous cream to high end La Prairie. On a whim, perhaps I was feeling nostalgic that day, i bought a tin of Nivea Creme. That was 8 years ago. Its now the only thing I buy and use every night on my face regardless of season and my skin’s level of oiliness. I have dry skin in winter and very oily in summer.

Why I like it? It moisturizes my skin and keeps it well hydrated. I wake up to soft supple skin. It has reduced the level of oiliness in my skin during the summer. I suspect my summer oily skin was due to my skin trying desperately not to dehydrate! The occlusive nature of the Creme means that doesn’t happen now and so my skin produces less oil. When i forget to use the product my oiliness comes back! It also comes in aluminum tins which are fully recyclable and better for the environment.
What i dislike? i really wish Nivea made exactly the same product only fragrance free. I don’t mind the smell but as I have mildly sensitive skin it would be more reassuring to use without the fragrance.

I can't get enough of this cream!

This multi purpose cream is the only one my poor dry hands can handle in the winter. The scent smells lovely and trust me it's winter worthy! Buy it, you'll love it. Plus the cute travel tin is the perfect purse size

Great moisturizer

This is my all time favorite brand. Always smells great. It keeps the skin hydrated all day long and giving a smooth, soft skin. Aust buy for the winters.

Moisturiser must have!

This moisturiser was an absolute must have for the winter months for dry skin! It is so thick and creamy and was perfect for straight out of the bath/shower. It smells incredible and made my skin so smooth!

Nivea

Good old Nivea! Suitable for the whole family. Great to nourish any dry area or for a whole body moisturisation! So cheap so well worth the money. I am never without this.

Soft and creamy

Love the smell, love the creamy texture, and love the feel as it goes on, leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished, and smelling great, also comes in a variety of sizes, so can fit into small bag

always with me since childhood

This is a great moisturiser with many of the same ingredients as the la mer moisturiser for a fraction of the cost. I use this overnight as more of a moisture mask, I wouldn’t wear this in the day as my skin isn’t particularly dry and I would say it would look potentially greasy in the day light, but for a night mask I would recommend to all skin types.

The queen of all body creams.

Love this Product for the extra Moisture it gives your skin. I used on my legs, stomach, and back of my arms. Those areas are the driest for me and definitely I could feel the difference. The scent is perfect for everyday wear too!

Makes the skin shine

Amazing sent ! Makes my skin shine and healthy ! I tried to recently and I can’t stop using it ! I’m so happy ! I tend to buy a few when they are on discount it is worth it

Keeping me soft

This cream is thick and it works very well. My skin feels really hydrated and soft after applying it. I love using it before putting my makeup on. Its a nice barrier. It’s good for any type of skin. I would recommend this to my family and friends.
