Advantages: Leaves my skin feeling great and not too greasy

Disadvantages: Dont drop the glass tub!

For a while now i have suffered from irritating and unsightly dry skin. I get this mostly all over my face. I will come out the shower and my face will feel tight and it becomes pale and flakey. I used standard nivea for ages but this I felt was too thick and left my skin feeling greasy. On a hot day with a bit of sweat, my skin would go horribly greasy. If you suffer this problem like me then this is the cream for you.

---Description---

The cream comes in either a blue glass tub containing 50ml or a 75ml plastic squeezy tube. I prefer the glass tub as you don't need much of the cream for a small area like your face and the squeezy tube can sometimes be somewhat uncontrollable! The cream is white in colour and is thinner than standard nivea cream. It smells great and very masculine. Dont worry about smelling like a ponce tho, it isnt overpowering.

---The effect---

Leaves my skin feeling soft as a babies bottom! Unlike other creams it doesn't make my skin feel greasy after use aswell. On a hot day there is no need to worry about sweating a greasy layer out with this cream. It stops the tight feeling i get after showering or washing and clears any flakey patches of ski. In comparison to more expensive creams this does an equally good job.

---Availability and Price---

The cream is available in the majority of chemists or supermarkets. I buy the cream from my local boots store and the 50ml tub is priced at £4.99. A tub will last me around 3 months if i use it sparingly which i feel is very reasonable.

---The Science---

Apparantly the cream is 'vitamin enriched and contains uv filters.' If this means anything to you then thats ok. All i know is the cream works for me and keeps my skin in tip top condition both in summer and winter. I would imagen the uv filters may be handy in the summer!

Summary: Cream is now acceptable for the male of the species!
