NIVEA Creme Body, Face and Hand Moisturising Cream, 16 oz Jar

I have always been a L'Occitane Shea Classic girl, so when the formula changed and was eventually discontinued, it was a real nightmare on my street. I had been searching for a rich, cream-based balm to use in my nightly skincare routine that also smelled wonderful, and after trying several other brands, I had almost given up. I finally decided to give an old reliable brand a chance, and to my surprise, this felt heavenly on my skin. I do layer a light oil underneath it to lock in additional moisture, and that combination has worked beautifully for me. Without the oil base, the cream can feel a little unusual at first and takes a bit more effort to rub in, so finding the right product to layer underneath makes a difference. What impressed me most is the value. This is a fraction of the cost of some higher-end creams I have used, and once I found the right layering combination, the quality felt very comparable for my needs. It has now become my new go-to for nighttime moisture. Rich, comforting, beautifully scented, and much more affordable. I will absolutely keep buying it.

Mi crema desde mi niñez, conserva su calidad y a un preciouy accesible

Nivea Creme, a total clasic! I have used this moisturizer for years to combat my elbows and knees dry skin. It is a very versatile formula though, and I keep discovering different ways to use it, and save money in the process. When I saw this huge 16oz jar on sale I had to get it. There isn't a better moisturizer for the colder months than Nivea Creme. I have tried many fancy and expensive ones and none of them hydrates my skin like this one. It is a thick paste and a little goes a long way, but it isn't sticky and it absorbs very well. I also use it on my face; my chin and under eyes area that are very dry. This cream works great as a makeup primer for a dewy luminous finish. Concealer and foundation apply very smoothly on top of this cream. I use it like an eyebrow wax. If you have thick brows grab a spoolie and style them with this cream. It is perfect. You can mix it with foundation for a lighter, more natural and dewy look, and you can also use it to remove your makeup. I have sensitive and acne prone skin and I have been able to use it without issues on my face. It is an excellent hand moisturizer and it keeps my cuticles looking good. I use a lot of hand sanitizer and wash my hands frequently at work, and this cream saves my skin like nothing else does. I keep a small size one in my locker. It has recently gone viral again. A lot of influencers saying this is a La Mer dupe. I recently got a sample of La Mer on a beauty box and I have to say they do feel exactly the same. Nivea Creme has been around for 100 years though, so if anybody is dupping is La Mer, a $3000 dupe 😵. There is no need to spend so much money on a moisturizer....buy this cream, there is a reason it has been around for so long. Save your money and get gorgeous skin in the process.

The fragrance does smell like medicine along with the cool feeling of putting the moisturizer on. The consistency is thicker than the pure moisturizer, but does a better job and doesn’t seem to be a prone acne moisturizer. The container was already opened slightly before I received it, but that could just be from the hot weather.

My people! There are products that just work, and the Nivea Creme in its iconic blue can (face, hands and body) is one of them. My context of use is triple: as a night cream to seal my routine, as SOS balm for elbows and dry heels, and as an emergency first in dry areas before makeup. Its biggest pro is the hydration power. Thanks to its formula rich in Eucerit and Glycerin, it creates an incredible protective barrier. It's the ultimate solution to the extreme dryness we sometimes experience with California's air conditioning or dry weather. The scent is the classic, clean and comforting; for me, it's pure nostalgia. Versatility is another strong point: a single product for the whole body and face, which simplifies any routine. The sealed can format ensures freshness and keeps it free of external contaminants if used with a spatula. Despite being a resounding 5 stars, I must be honest with the areas of improvement for those who do not know it: Dense Texture: It is a very thick and dense cream (almost like a paste), so it requires rubbing and heating a little on the hands before applying to absorb well. Finish: Leaves a noticeable glow and an oily barrier feeling for a few minutes. If your skin is very oily or if you're looking for an immediate matte finish, it's not for you. Packaging: While I love the can, it's not the most hygienic format in the long run if you don't use a spatula, as you insert your fingers directly. Daytime Use: For those of us who live in warm climates, you may feel heavy to wear during the day under makeup, unless you have extremely dry skin. Comparison: It is unmatched by its price and effectiveness. While more expensive creams offer a lighter finish, none exceed Nivea's barrier power. Quality-Price Ratio: Unbeatable; you get a multifunctional product for what a coffee is worth. Love their consistency. Size is a awesome Clear recommendation: This is a basic that every home should have. Perfect for dry, sensitive skin and for the whole family.
