Nivea Product Review: Nivea Crème

Nivea Moisturising Crème. If there is a more iconic skincare product and distinctive smell than we have yet to see and smell it.

Nivea Moisturising Crème. If there is a more iconic skincare product and distinctive smell than we have yet to see and smell it.

Like the smell of fresh cut grass, the smell of this oldest and most successful Nivea product will bring memories of youth flooding back. This was after all the product your mother trusted dearly, used for herself, used for all others in the house.

And with that a deep appreciation of the moisturising product was born, and people use it in many different ways.

As a hand cream it is up there with the best. Applied once at night and no matter what you do with your hands for a living – or pleasure – and they will leave them smooth and nourished.

Or perhaps you use it for your face and neck to prevent your skin from drying out. This little gem leaves the skin hydrated and again a little of the product goes a long way. Others then use it as a body lotion, sitting on the skin to leave it saturated while not feeling uncomfortable.

Or you could be like us and make the most of the versatility it has to offer and use it for all the mentioned above and is brilliant for rough spots such as knees, feet, elbows and hands.

The great thing about the consistency is that only a little is needed at a time so it lasts quite a while, and comes in a 1oz tin, a 2oz tube and a 6.8oz jar. Oh and did we mention the smell?
