Advantages: Smells nice, designed for teenage skin.

Disadvantages: Not the cheapest product out there, doesn't last long, rubs off weirdly...

I have tried countless moisturisers to combat the horrible effects of the winter on my skin and this is just one of them. I was drawn to it mainly because it is aimed at teenagers and because it said it mattifies whilst moisturising (I have quite oily skin despite the dryness!).

The moisturiser contains ocean minerals and the scent is even quite sea-like. The blue colour is nice in comparison to the usual boring white and when you put it on it does feel quite soothing to your skin.

It's not the best moisturiser I have tried, it didn't eliminate all the dryness but saying that it wasn't too bad either- probably more ideal for someone looking for a light moisturiser. I didn't find it to be very mattifying either, which was one of the things that drew me to the product in the first place.

When you apply it I did find that the moisturiser starts flaking off when rubbing it in, also an issue when applying foundation on top of it. Not the best Nivea product I have tried, I have to say.

Summary: The blue colour is the only really exciting bit about this product.
