Advantages: keeps skin moisturised, cheap

Disadvantages: No SPF

I usually use Nivea Visage Rich Moisturiser in the colder months when my skin needs a little bit of extra help, and Nivea Visage Light Moisturiser during the summer. I recently ran out of the Rich version, so have reverted to using Nivea Visage Light until I get round to buying some more.

~Packaging~

This comes in a plain white tube with a screw top lid and blue writing on the front. The tube is nothing spectacular, but for the price I don't think you'd necessarily expect it to be.

~Using it~

The cream is white in colour, and has a gentle but pleasant smell. The tube recommends applying in small circular movements, working from the neck upwards, which is how I apply it anyway. I find that it absorbs into the skin easily and a small amount covers a fairly large area.
When you first apply the cream, it does feel slightly greasy and the skin has an annoying 'tacky' feel to it for a few minutes. Given this, I normally apply my moisturiser and then do my hair or something before applying make-up.

~Results~

I would say it takes around 5 or 10 minutes for the tacky feeling to fade, and when it does, my skin is left with a supple, moisturised - but not sticky- feeling. My skin feels moisturised all day and there is no need to re-apply this. It also clears up dry patches of skin, but is not as good as the rich version for this. As it is light it doesn't give your skin a heavy feeling that some others can, like the Nivea cream you get in the blue tub, for example.
As I mentioned, I mostly use this during the summer, but unfortunately it does not contain SPF, so this would have to be used separately.

~Price~

This costs £3.99 for a 50ml tube from Boots.
