AVOID NIVEA CRÈME IT GAVE ME AN ITCHY RED RASH & BUMPS wherever I applied the cream on my skin. The itchy red bumps are still on my skin despite discontinuing use a week ago. Complained to Nivea to flag an adverse reaction, and gave me an unsatisfactory response. This product used to be great for dry skin, but now it’s AWFUL the itchy red rash won’t go away! My skin is RUINED, it feels like bugs are crawling all over my skin and it’s so ugly. Show details

This multinational is 'great'. You want to try return a product which isn't up to standard and they state the consumer needs to arrange for a package to send it back to them. They can't be bothered providing a sachet/box to their customer. Great service, not!

Fly blown product – No stars. I bought a cream and when I opened it it had a type of ‘web’ on it. I was advised it was fly blown. I wanted to report so I called Nivea and they were the rudest customer service and hung up the phone saying it was not possible. They needed to know there was a possible issue with the manufacturing. I have declined buying their products ever since.

Good value for money product – I don't believe in spending lots of money on post shave products. Anything from the supermarket is fine. I also don't usually putting anything on my face, however sometimes I do find a product that I like, and this is one of them. The previous product of the same brand I used has been discontinued. That product came in a handy small pump pack. I… Read more

use such products so infrequently that they tend to last years. What to buy as a replacement ? I spotted this tin on special at my local Woolworths so thought I'd try it. One of the problems with buying new products is you might not like the smell, or it might burn your skin, so it's a bit of a gamble. I like the smell of this product, and it didn't burn my skin post shave. I won't use it everyday, usually just for social events or job interviews. The product is a white cream, which comes in a giant round tin, much like an oversized shoe care product. There is also a foil seal, so you can't test smell it prior to purchase.

Amazing lotion – This is a great lotion for skin that needs hydrating. I use it for my feet and hands. Makes them smooth. Someone on a previous review claimed they changed the ingredients of The Original Nivea from the 30ml and 60ml. I looked and the ingredients are the same. I highly recommend this product. For feet at night put a good amount on and rub in good.… Read more

Do this about 20-30 minutes before bed and then put on socks. I know..I hate wearing socks to bed. But even if you find a thinner pair it will help so the lotion will stay on longer and absorb in more. Your feet will feel nice and smooth when you get up. Do the same with your hands. They make overnight hand gloves that will leave your hands super soft. I only use lotion at night because I am a OCD person that washes my hands often. They have a lighter texture version to put on your face to wear under makeup or if you have very oily skin I would suggest this at night over the original thicker one. My mom always used this and she would get compliments about her skin all the time. Hope this helps. I love Nivea and the nice clean smell!

The highlight of this winter - amazing new discovery (sort of) – I've tried Nivea Crème over the years and basically hated the texture so would throw virtually full tins away. But I kept reading about how awesome it was so I decided to try it just one more time. This time I used it sparingly - and realised I'd been using it wrong in the past. I was using it the way I use other moisturisers (liberally) and I… Read more

think in the case of Nivea, that was heavy-handed. This is a rich moisturiser and a little bit goes a long way. It doesn't spread as easily as more liquid moisturisers so you need to work it around the skin. It initially feels greasy but check in ten minutes and all you have is soft, smooth skin. And, your skin is hydrated for the rest of the day. Truly amazing. I'm glad to have given it this another try. I am using it on my face (as a night cream) and over my body including hands and feet at night. I wake up to soft skin. I'm falling in love with the scent too (but it doesn't linger after application). I think it might be too rich in summer with the humidity here but I hope I can keep using it because I love what it's done for my skin.

Absolute gold – If you want great skincare on a budget than this is hands down the best skincare product ever. I remember using it as a kid. And recently rediscovered it after having spring allergies and sunburn and dryness. It’s so soothing for skin. Highly recommend for ppl with dry and sensitive skin . Show details

Really good stuff – So, I was using a Korean brand not long ago for 4 years and they started discontinuing products... had made the switch to nivea because it's easier to get and also cheaper. I've seen a dramatic change in my skin. It's softer and I'm not getting patches of dryness and itchiness... im a rosacea sufferer. I have very sensitive skin and I find with a… Read more

lot of products that they dry me out and make my skin burn... its difficult for me to find products that dont irritate me and this was the case for the korean brand before they ditched their gel cleanser... i loved the cleanser but ive been forced to find new products. The only issue I've had is a few very small pimples which aren't noticeable unless up close in the mirror and also the oily feeling when using it before bed. The oily feeling is a bit gross but I believe I wad using a bit too much to begin with.

new formula is terrible – myself and 3 daughters have been using nivea cream for over 15 years, absolutley love it..i bought a new container the other day, noticed there was new green printing on the lid and the side. when i used it for the first time, i noticed it seems to just sit on my skin leaving a white layer on my face, it takes much longer to soak in, and it feels… Read more

watery . two of my daughters said that it created an itchy burning feeling, one daughter had to remove it as it was burning , after removing it her face was red

Simple, but so good – For me, this is a skincare staple. This helps keep the skin on my face moisturised for hours, especially when my skin is drier than usual. When I apply it at night, my skin remains moisturised the following morning. I don't use it during the day in summer though, because it's very rich and gets greasy when it's hot. This product's texture is… Read more

very thick, so to apply more effectively I press it onto my skin so that the heat from my hands can help spread the cream.

Best face lotion in the world – This is the first review I have ever written online because I’m not a vocal person on the internet but I had to talk about the best face lotion I have ever had. It is so soft and makes my skin feel and look smooth and healthy. I have refered this to my family and friends and they are also hooked on it. No joke the best face lotion you could ask for. Thanks Nivea <3 Show details

To highly perfumed – I have always loved nivea products and decided to try the Cellular filler range, i was very disappointed that this product is highly perfumed and i am unable to wear it at night because of the over powering smell. Trish :(

Fabulous, goodbye French expensive moisturiser! – I can’t believe how good this cream is. I read the reviews and it was on special for $2.10 a tin! I have dry skin and I have been searching for a reasonably priced rich cream. My favourite French one was discontinued (and so expensive) so after trialling heaps, decided to give Nivea a go. As others have said, use it sparingly, give it 10 mins and see how it feels. My skin is hydrated and looks great ... can’t praise it enough.

So good!! – I have a dry skin (47 yr old) and have tried so many night creams and spent so much to date. This Nivea cream is the best solution for me - the price and the result are amazing. My skin continues to be hydrated till morning and soft. I have tried another Nivea cream (white jar with Jojoba oil and vitamin E) but this blue original one is the best.… Read more

Better than night creams which cost over $120. Have a try, you won't loose anything as it is so cheap, but it certainly works. Can use for the whole family too.

Nivea Creme is Absolutely Amazing! – I recently purchased Nivea Creme and I was pleasantly surprised by this products ability to moisturize my skin all day long. This product is simply amazing especially on my Melanin skin. I absolutely love it and can't get enough of this product. Its not only for your hands, it works wonders all over your body.

Classic must have – This cream is a classic must have for all womens beauty regimes. I grew up with this stuff. My grandmother, aunties, my mum and i all still use it daily. Growing up the women in my family were always complimented on their skin and how they look at least 10yrs younger than they are so since then i knew there was something to it and began using it… Read more

in my teens ever since. It is very thick and can appear greasy, so i only use it at night or if im staying home, opting for the lighter Nivea day cream version for my daytime use. It soothes, it feeds and your skin drinks it up like no other. You will notice a difference virtually overnight. Definitely recommend to all

Nivea - one of the best cremes ever created for skin care – I am a mature aged European woman, with fair skin. During a course of my life, I have tried a lot of of different moisturising cremes, both expensive and inexpensive ones. Somehow, I always was going back to Nivea creme. Now, in my 50-ties, I have just decided to stop trying other cremes and simply keep using Nivea each morning. Nivea has been… Read more

a great "classic" cream for me, with very nice moisturising effect. I called it "classic" because it has been available even when my Mother was a young girl...... By the way, my Mother also used Nivea regularly and had great skin!

Best bang for buck! – Dealing with my eczema was pretty hard but with this creme, I was able to clear most of it within a few weeks. I would highly recommend for this to be used, whether it is for the face, hand or legs.

The best – i was given a sample of La Mer at a fashion event. I had never used it before. I googled it - I google most things to find out more as I am a curious person in life. I read a review comparing La Mer to Nivea creme- a fairly hefty price difference- one at around $250 the other a supermarket product. I used my sample of La Mer for a few weeks. It… Read more

was good but not great. I then switched to the supermarket's Nivea crime . That was three years ago. Specialist beauticians complement me on my smooth, clear skin and often scoff when I tell them it's Nivea. I test out other products from time to time but not one gives me the outstanding results Nivea creme does. I'm 50 and my skin is great. Love this stuff and use Nivea body lotion as well.

Amazing – I have just completed a chemo treatment on my face due to many years of too much sun. I started using aloe Vera to heal & rejuvenate my skin but soon changed to Nivea - WOW! my skin drank up the moisture morning & night & has never looked better. Wrinkles are minimised & my skin glows & looks well hydrated. After many years of very expensive French brands I will be Nivea from now on.

can be used in many ways! – works great in moisturizing my face though its a little bit greasy and heavy. it can also be used as a make up remover! just apply it to your face and wipe it off with a tissue or facial wipes and poof goodbye make up. i also use this as a lip balm, weird right? but it works trust me. i usually apply this to my face every night and let my face absorb all the goodness this product gives!

It's okay – Pretty good for the price, I love the way it makes my skin feel! More dry now but it's better than very oily. Only thing i could improve would be increase the size of it so it would last a bit longer, thanks!

Fantastic product for a Fantastic price – Since moving to Tassie from Brisbane the lack of humidity has caused my skin to go from combo oily to combo very dry and This Winter i got 4 dry patches which no cream natural or not could fix. Nivea Creme /Cream Original is a God send, It is a extremely rich multi - purpose cream that got rid of Of my dry spots and keeps my skin moisterised… Read more

and the price is fantastic around 10 dollars for a large tub.... High end products are not bad bur small tub for 20 plus dollars...tge value and multi function of Nivea is just unparalleled in my opinion.

I remember my mother using this on me as a kid but in Brisbane I felt my face being shiny and looked "unclean" so as a young adult I droped using it.

Now I use This all over my body and face along with my husband.

Must have – This cream by Nivea is the greatest cream I have ever stumbled upon. I fell in love with it the moment I tried it on because it does an incredible job for multiple purposes. It worked a charm on my dry skin around my elbows and ankles. Also, I tend to wear a lot of mascara,eyeliner and eye shadow which runs down to my cheekbones in the shower so… Read more

when I come out I just quickly apply the cream; rub it off and the makeup is gone. This cream also works splendidly as a moisturizer and makes the skin go very smooth. Works great, reliable

A classic – In my life in one way or another for a few decades. My mum used to use this cream, and she had amazing skin, even into her 60s. She hardly had any lines. The scent also brings back memories for me. Whilst i prefer using organic face creams these days, I do love using this classic whenever i need some heavy duty moisturising on my face. Yes, it is… Read more

a thick cream, however, if you use only a small amount, it doesn't feel uncomfortable at all. It gives a nice sheen to the face, and is great for long haul flights too. So cheap too, which is great, as i refuse to spend a fortune on creams. I have to agree with a previous review and echo that i wish it still came in a tin - why mess with perfection?..overall, a great cream with so many uses

OK – This is a great product to have around the house and its so compact. Its easy to fit in my bag and I can use it as a hand moisturiser too. Its fantastic for rough heels and elbows and still works wonders to soften my face at night! A little goes a long way, and it not too costly to buy. This is such a good creme to use as a body moisturiser and… Read more

also on the face as well. I love using it at night and let my skin just soak it up. It scented, which can be a bit strong because I dont prefer something so smelly all the time.
