Advantages: smells good, excellent consistency and most importantly, moisturising!

Disadvantages: I use it up too quickly

I originally bought a small tube of this as I needed a hand moisturiser at work during the winter months. I suffer from really dry hands and I don't think the heating helps. I loved this product from that moment. It smells lovely (although slightly disturbingly my boyfriend said the first time I wore it I smelt like his granny who also uses nivea products!!).

I find the consistency to be really good too. Its not too thick that it never rubs into your skin but is thick enough to feel like its doing something. I've had liquidy moisturisers in the past and don't ever feel like they do anything. I still feel moisturised in the evening if I've applied in the morning but usually reapply at night before I go to bed.

Although you can in theory use this everywhere, I don't use it on my face. I am prone to spots, particularly on my chin so have to be careful about what I use on my face. This I feel is too thick for my face.

Everywhere else though is great!

The price is ok too. I have a tendency to edge towards the more expensive products because I think you get what you pay for but not with this. It does an excellent job so why pay more? Its £6.85 for 300ml from boots. I usually get the big pot to keep at home and then a little tube for work.

The only down side is that it doesnt seem to last as long as I would like. I get through the tub/tubes pretty quickly so although it may not be that expensive, it may not be the most efficient either.

Summary: Good moisturiser but would like it to go further
