**What is it?** Nivea Creme is an all purpose face and body moisturiser which has been around for many many years. My mum and gran always used it and I have used it sporadically since. **Price and Availability** Nivea Creme comes in a range of sizes however the 50ml tin retails at around £2 and the 200ml tin at £4.50 - £5, so it is better value to buy the 200ml if this is something you use regularly. It is available in all larger supermarkets, pharmacies, at online retailers and very very occasionally it can be located in the Pound Shop (for the smaller and travel sizes). **Packaging** The colour of the ...  Read the complete review

My bathroom is cluttered with all manner of lotions and unguents to make me softer, smoother, moister, and more fragrant. I've got the whole range, from stuff I've picked up in the pound shop to luxurious items I've received as gifts, and I love chopping and changing as the mood takes me. One of the few products to which I actually have some loyalty is Nivea Creme General Purpose Cream, which retails at £2.78 for 200ml, and comes in a smart blue pot with a screw off lid. The pot is very basic - a plain dark blue cylinder with the brand name printed on it in white. Apart from a brief ingredients listing, there isn't a lot of gumpfh on the pot, it's all very ...  Read the complete review

Nivea Creme reminds me of my childhood, my Mum always used this cream after a sunny day to soothe our skin. I was looking for a replacement moisturiser to use on my face, and as I was going on a couple of holidays and would be exposed to a lot of sun I picked up a small pot of this. It was £1.49 for 500ml and came in a small round pot with the iconic blue and white packaging. The cream itself is white in colour and quite thick. It smells nice, not perfumed but has the distinctive 'Nivea' smell. When on holiday I kept this in the fridge and found it soothing to apply to my face after a day in the sun. It kept my skin moisturised and created a good base for my ...  Read the complete review

When I was a little girl in the late fifties and early sixties there was no such thing as sun cream - at least not at a price affordable by ordinary people! As I am a fair skinned redhead my mom used to smother my skin with Nivea Crème to try and stop my skin burning. I can remember her putting it on my shoulders and it melting as my skin (and the sun) was hot! She also used to put lots on my pink skin when we got back to the B & B too to try and minimise the discomfort of any sunburn. It sounds terrible now but in those days we didn't know any better! The main thing that I can remember though is the fragrance - I love the sweet creamy smell of Nivea and, ...  Read the complete review

I've been using Nivea Crème for years and it's one of my firm favourites for general purposes and a good all over skin cream. I buy the 500ml-sized pots and pay a good bit less than £2 for this size. This is excellent value for money because I only ever need to use a small amount of this cream and so a 500ml pot will last me a long time. It also has a long shelf life so even if I don't use it very often and I am using another type of moisturiser instead, I know that this one won't go off in the meantime. The reason I like to use this cream is because of the way it moisturises my skin. I use this on my body and though I have used it on my face and neck, I ...  Read the complete review
