Nivea Creme is one of the oldest beauty creams in the market. Nivea is a cosmetic product company founded by the businesswoman Oscar Troplowitz, the chemist Isaac Lifschütz and the dermatologist Paul Gerson Unna-inventor of the first moisturizing history cream-in 1911.

Prior to that lanolin was used for dry skin problems and that was the only one available at that time. So when Nivea creme was introduced it was a big success. Basically it was just a simple glycerin, paraffin wax and mineral oil mixture. Even today Nivea creme is as popular as ever. In addition, because it is available at a drugstore reasonably, it has become attractive to use.

The package is an aluminium can with a logo in a blue colour. A simple design which is retro and is a pretty impression. In addition, it might be an advantage that it is easy to carry because it is a container with a thin thickness.
.
Nivea Creme is super moisturizing due to its first of its kind water in the oil emulsion formula. Due to the oil emulsion, it moisturises the skin by creating a barrier on the skin and also keeps the microorganisms out.

Moisturizing power
.
If you look at the moisture content, the number is up 2.8 times before coating after application because there is stickiness. After more than three hours, the skin is smooth, but after eight hours also, the moisturising is higher than before the application.
.
There is a moisturizing power moderately because there is a lot of oil. It is recommended for the person who does not care about stickiness. When applied to the face, the stickiness is stronger. When you apply cream to your face, you have a stronger solid feeling than when applied to the hand. The hair sticks to the face, the whole face is itchy.
.
To spread well, you may have to warm the cream a little with a body temperature to soften it, and apply it with a little effort on your fingertips.
.
It is recommended for the person who has extra dry skin, mainly it is a body cream which can be used for everyday use.

Fragrance

If you smell the cream directly from the can, it will smell slightly floral. But it fades after some time.
Summary
Nivea creme – you can expect a good moisturizing power at a good price.
There is no doubt that Nivea Creme works. It is very moisturising almost for 8 hours making your skin soft and smooth. The price is reasonable. But don’t expect anything more than that. The cream should do more than moisten the skin. If you also want to use it on your face, you may want to apply an antioxidant serum first. The cream makes your wrinkles look smaller, but it does not make them smaller or hinder the formation of new ones. It is a recommended cream for those with extremely dry skin and who do not care about the sticky feeling.
Nowadays we have better moisturising creams and lotions with hydrating ingredients, lots of antioxidants and peptides that moisturize your skin, fight wrinkles and firm skin-why not use them? But if you have already tried many moisturizers without success, try it.
