Advantages: Rich Cream

Disadvantages: The price and the lack of moisturisation capabilities.

This was yet another one of my freebies from the Race for Life way back in May.

- Price and Packaging -

Available from Boots, Superdrug and many supermarkets such as Tesco:
50ml tube
Boots ~ £3.49
Tesco ~ £3.18

The 50ml comes in a tube with a screw top lid that sits on the lid. It has to be said that I’m not overly keen on tubes as opposed to tubs as it does allow for a teeny tiny bit of waste!

- What do Nivea say about this product -

~ daily moisturising cream
~ supports the natural moisture balance of normal and combination skin
~ smoothes and protects all day long
~ easily absorbed
~ encourages fresh, supple skin
~ contains vitamins and jojoba oil which hydrates your skin
~provides UVA/UVB protection

- My experience -

* Appearance
This is a white cream which is pleasantly rich and creamy. It certainly isn’t as thin as some of the other Nivea products I have used.


* The smell
The cream has quite a strong perfumed scent to it.

* Application
My skin is slightly dry at the moment having been in a little bit of sun a few weeks ago and not being very good at ensuring my skin is well moisturised. I do it when I have the time!
The cream is very easy to apply, simply use it after cleansing.
It absorbed very quickly in to my face, initially giving my skin an instant moisture boost. However this didn’t last long at all. About five minutes after using the cream my skin felt just as dry as it had prior to application and if anything a little drier, a tight skin feeling effect and it has to be said a little ‘tingly’ in certain areas, for example, under my nose.

- My Verdict -

Once again I am disappointed with a Nivea Visage product.
This does give some moisture to my skin but I just don’t like the way in which it actually makes my face feel a little tighter after a few minutes.
I’m just glad that I didn’t buy the tube and had the opportunity to make use of the trial sachet before parting with any money.
Needless to say, I will not be buying this product. I could imagine that it may be good for those who suffer from oily skin, however it does state that is for normal and combination skins.
