Nivea face and body cream: reviews of the universal Nivea Care (Kare)

Probably each of us is familiar with the products of the legendary Nivea brand. Just look at their signature moisturizing face cream in a recognizable blue puck jar. Over time, the company has developed a whole range of cosmetic innovations, ranging from care products for various skin types to products created specifically for men. The history of the company dates back more than a hundred years ago, when a little-known brand at that time was engaged in the production of ordinary plasters. Since then, the concept of the Nivea brand has undergone significant modifications, the range of products has expanded, thanks to which the consumer has the opportunity to choose.

A distinctive feature of the company is the creation of high-quality cosmetics, characterized by affordable prices for every buyer. Today we will talk about the “Care” facial moisturizing cream, which is distinguished by its versatility and is suitable for all types of epidermis. If you want to provide your skin with reliable protection and hydration, then this product will be an excellent assistant in caring for sensitive skin.

Composition of Nivea Care face cream “Intense hydration”

Almost all Nivea brand products are enriched with vitamin E, essential for the skin, which has rejuvenating and nourishing properties. Moisturizing face cream “Care” is no exception. The active component saturates dehydrated skin cells with the necessary moisture and also effectively fights the first signs of aging.

In addition to vitamin E, the product contains shea butter or, as it is also called, shea butter, which is extracted from the seeds of a rare African tree. The regenerating effect of the component provides sensitive facial skin with reliable protection from the sun. This is especially important in the warm season, when the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation contribute to the rapid formation of facial wrinkles. Find out how to remove eyebrow wrinkles here.

Penetration of active ingredients into the deeper layers of the dermis is due to the presence of glycerin in the composition. It has not only a nourishing effect, but also a rejuvenating effect, due to which the skin is tightened and takes on a fresh, rested appearance. The active substance activates the production of collagen, thereby stopping the process of withering of the skin. You can learn about face masks with glycerin in the article.

The brand also became famous for the fact that for the first time it added argan oil to face creams. Before Nivea, such a solution had never occurred to developers.

And although the composition of each position deserves special study due to the presence of a large number of unnatural components, in general, Nivea skin care cosmetics are successfully used even on very sensitive skin. Negative reviews are often associated with incorrect application of products or lack of preliminary cleansing procedures.

How does the universal day cream work?

Nivea moisturizing cream restores the regeneration process and protects the upper layers of the skin from harmful environmental influences. Regular use of moisturizing cream provides the skin with intense nutrition, which is especially urgently needed for those with dry, sensitive dermis.

The light consistency of the cream does not leave an unpleasant greasy film on the skin, providing a comfortable feeling during the application process. Due to its delicate texture, the product spreads easily and is absorbed very quickly.

After using Nivea Care cream, the skin is sufficiently moisturized, nourished, and free from the unpleasant feeling of dryness.

The moisturizer has the following benefits:

• easily absorbed without leaving a greasy sheen;
• eliminates peeling and heals microcracks;
• ideal for application under makeup;
• does not provoke the occurrence of comedones and inflammation.

What does the manufacturer promise?

According to the manufacturer, it was created using a new innovative formula. It is intended to combat acne, although most reviews say that it is more of a preventative.

According to the manufacturer, the cream has three important actions.

The first is that it fights existing acne.

Secondly , it eliminates blackheads (comedones).

Third , it helps to intensively moisturize the skin of the face. As a result, everyone who used this cream, according to the manufacturer, will receive clear skin without greasy shine with a matte finish.

Application

The cream copes with its tasks best in the winter season, when sensitive skin most urgently needs intensive nutrition and hydration.
The rich formula of the product protects the skin from constant temperature changes, fights flaking, and moisturizes dry areas of the face. It is used not only for the face, but also as a nourishing hand cream. The cream helps prevent cell dehydration and also has a calming effect. The regenerating effect ensures the restoration of the integrity of the epithelium. With regular use, peeling disappears, wounds heal, and chapped areas of the skin are restored. In summer it is better to use Nivea sunscreen.

Flaws

After using this product, many noted that the pimples and blackheads that were on their face did not go away. Therefore, it is better to choose another remedy to treat acne.

However, the cream does an excellent job of moisturizing the skin, as well as increasing sebum secretion, which is especially important for those who have oily, problematic facial skin.

Reviews from men

The Nivea company has been pleasing not only the fair sex with its products for decades, but also men, producing products that can cope with any problems of the dermis. It’s easy to verify this – just carefully study the reviews, of which there are many on men’s and women’s forums and on social networks.

What do the reviews of men who have already experienced the effects of skin care products indicate? Most of the responses are positive, they note that the cream easily copes with various skin defects. Many men use Nivea against irritation caused by shaving - the cream perfectly relieves unpleasant discomfort, prevents the appearance of rashes, softens the dermis, and promotes the healing of cracks or wounds.

The price of the drug is also noted in the reviews. If you compare it with expensive branded products that are comparable in effectiveness to Nivea men, you can find a significant difference. Nivea is much cheaper, which plays a significant role in the choice of skin care formulations.

If you carefully study the reviews, you can find a small number of negative responses. Men note the positive qualities of the cream, but also report that an unpleasant film appears on the dermis, which remains throughout the day.

Nivea men cream is a drug that many men have tried on themselves. Many positive qualities, high effectiveness against skin problems, no contraindications - the list of advantages of the composition could take a long time. Despite the number of drugs for the male dermis, which are produced more and more every year, many representatives of the stronger sex do not change their favorite cream. It is this that allows you to turn facial care into a pleasant experience that will certainly bring results.

How to use

Use Nivea Care moisturizing cream twice a day: after washing your face in the morning and cleansing your skin of accumulated impurities in the evening. Apply a small amount of product to cleansed facial skin using gentle patting movements. If necessary, repeat the layer of cream. In case of contact with the eyes, rinse the mucous membrane thoroughly with plenty of water.

The product has a moisturizing effect, which means that in winter it should be applied half an hour before going outside.

Before going to bed, use the composition 1.5-2 hours before bedtime. Thus, the cream will not stain the bed linen and will not cause swelling. Find out about the features of using Nivea night cream here.

If overdose

An excessively generous layer of product is unlikely to bring a positive effect to the skin. Improper use clogs pores, thereby causing the formation of blackheads, pimples and comedones. It is recommended to blot excess cream with a paper napkin to avoid subsequent clogging of the hair follicles.

Helpful information

When purchasing products for the first time, it would be a good idea to study reviews about them:

• Victoria: “I bought Nivea Soft for 280 rubles, I’m frankly sorry for the money spent, because the cream behaved disgustingly on my face: it tightened the skin, there was even a slight tingling sensation. I don't suffer from allergic reactions, so this was new to me. Now I only use it for my hands, and personally I don’t have enough moisturizing, I have to apply it almost every 2-3 hours.”
• Christina: “Very pleased with the anti-aging sunscreen. I applied it once for a month, before going to the beach, and did not renew it. At the end of the vacation, the face remained slightly paler than the body, which means the filters really work.”
• Georgy: “I’ve been using Nivea men’s cream for a long time, it really helps with dryness and flaking. But I noticed this peculiarity: literally after a month the smell in the jar changes greatly. Perhaps it depends on the country of origin; I used to buy it in Germany and didn’t notice such changes.”

BB Cream, 5 in 1

The manufacturer promises:

• alignment;
• camouflage;
• shine;
• hydration;
• SPF 10 protection.

Contains:

• minerals;
• vitamins.

In fact, this is the most controversial product of all Nivea creams. It has a lot of negative reviews related to the difficulty of spreading over the face due to the thick texture and the discrepancy with the stated tone in the tube. So, a natural beige tone looks much darker on the skin and can fade into a red-orange tint.

BB Cream often appears patchy, dries unevenly, and it is quite problematic to shade the edges of the product.

There is no stated moisturizing effect, but it does not dry out the skin either. The promised glow is often compared to the “effect of a greasy pancake on the face.”

BB-cream

Non-comedogenic face cream will provide nutrition and restoration without clogging pores.

Anti-aging sunscreen SPF 30

It is very popular due to its excellent effect and affordable price.

The anti-aging effect is not limited to eliminating wrinkles or tightening the contour; the manufacturer itself only claims to prevent the appearance of new wrinkles associated with exposure to direct sunlight.

The protective properties last for 2 hours, after which you need to apply a new layer of cream. However, on forums, women often indicate that they did not update the product, and its effect lasted significantly.

The formula includes sunscreens, preservatives and other chemical compounds, as well as vitamin E. Despite the ambiguity of the composition, it is suitable even for sensitive skin. Does not cause allergic reactions, a feeling of stickiness or heaviness.

Placed in a convenient vertical tube with a volume of 50 ml, with a thin opening, which allows you to regulate the amount of product extracted.

Make-up expert moisturizing, 2 in 1, cream-fluid

The main task of the line is to moisturize and quickly prepare the skin for applying makeup.

Available in three versions:

• for dry and sensitive skin;
• for normal and combined;
• for the area around the eyes.

The aroma is standard, branded, and is not noticeable on the face. The texture is similar to gel, weightless, melting on your fingertips. It is applied evenly, instantly absorbed, and smoothes out existing peeling. If you rub the cream too vigorously, it can roll off under your fingers.

It behaves equally well under any foundation, does not roll off, does not clog into microcracks and pores. Without foundation, 30-60 minutes can create the feeling of a mask on the face, which then disappears.

Suitable for use in warm and hot seasons.

The formula is enriched with lotus and calendula extracts, but also contains parabens and silicone polymers. Therefore, before using on the face, be sure to apply the composition to the inside of the elbow, wrist or skin behind the ear to check the reaction to tolerance.

Make-up expert

Moisturizing day

It has a pleasant texture and spreads smoothly. But there are also certain “disadvantages”:

• synthetic composition with a share of natural components not exceeding 37%;
• appropriate chemical aroma;
• poor absorption (many women note that during the day a feeling of the “presence” of an oily film remains on the face, which cannot be removed with napkins);
• stickiness even when applied in a very thin layer.

This sticky feeling calls into question the use of the cream as a makeup base, although some people manage to use it that way. In general, “there is no middle ground”; the owners of this product were divided into 2 camps: for some it suited perfectly, for others they would not buy it a second time.

Moisturizing day

Revitalizing night

The product is positioned as suitable for all skin types. NIVEA experts promise:

• deep hydration;
• promoting skin restoration at night;
• feeling of freshness and softness after waking up.
• The consistency is much denser, oilier and thicker than day cream.

Economical, the size of a pea is enough to cover the skin of the face and hands. If you apply a larger amount of cream, it can be absorbed for a very long time (up to several hours), leaving a feeling of stickiness and an oily sheen after waking up.

Reviews about the fragrance vary. For some, the cream smells like an obsessive sweet chemical lemon, for others it smells like a pleasant lily of the valley.

Revitalizing night

NIVEA MEN

Men's cream developed taking into account all skin characteristics. It has a light texture and thick consistency. Well distributed. Copes with dryness and reduces existing irritation.

The NIVEA MEN fragrance is strong, but disappears quickly, leaving a light trail of men's perfume or shaving products.
