NIVEA Q10 Firming Body Oil is a nice skin oil but did not absorb into my skin at all. I used the oil on my legs and wore a dress for that day. Much to my chagrin, after sitting on a concrete bench, I got up to find oil marks where from the backs of my legs! It wasn't sweat - it was the oil. I like how this oil feels but I just don't feel comfortable using it again for fear of ruining my clothing or furniture or public benches.

The scent is pleasant - it's a little artificial but grand - plus crucially it passes the all-important Tights Test. You can apply, it sinks in straight away because it's got a light, dry formulation, and there's no sweaty wrangling as you heave yourself into your opaques. So that pleased me too. Skin does feel softer and more smooth, but as for the firming effect, the jury's still out.
