I'm a guy and only in the past couple years, started to care about my skin. I tried expensive mens specific moisturizers like Lumin and Marlowe. This Nivea cream works far better! It's thicker sure, but the mornings after I put it on I actually notice a difference in my skin, it often looks tighter and healthier and even seems like there's less color inconsistencies/blemishes. I had flaky skin on my chin and neck that was healed within a day or two. I don't have acne anymore so I can't confirm for sure that it doesn't cause breakouts, but even though it's thick it really feels great and has definitely made my skin look better overall. I use it twice a day and honestly look forward to putting it on each day. This stuff works so well and has almost no scent which is perfect, often the higher end creams are scented and I noticed that made my eyes super itchy so I'd only use it on areas far from my eyes which meant it wasn't even covering much of my face. I read all the positive reviews of this product and realized it's often better to go for the tried and true, 100+ year old company then pay way more for trendy nonsense that has nice packaging but does nothing for my skin. All the fancy new brands I tried either did nothing or even made things worse, either with the eye irritation or even causing my skin to feel drier! I did the math and the fancy brands I bought were up to 30x more expensive per ounce, yes 30x! I paid over $13 an ounce for a couple brands. This Nivea is .44 Cents per ounce! You get a huge, nearly 1lb tin of it for only $6-8, it's an unbelievably great price. I'm so happy with this purchase, it's one of those items you buy for a fantastic price, try and just instantly realize it's a game-changer. Thank you to all the reviews that mentioned their parents and grandparents using this for decades as these made me realize many of these cheaper, maybe less flashy brands are actually the best one's to buy. I'm a huge Nivea fan now and will try some of their other cheap products in the future and I plan on buying this product forever, I am convincing friends and family to the same. Thanks Nivea!

I’ve used this every night for years, and my mom used it my whole life growing up. It's not the easiest to apply because it's thick, if you warm it a little by rubbing it in your palms it's easier and this stuff is worth the work. The ingredients are gentle, and it always leaves my skin feeling soft and protected. It gives lasting moisture and great skin protection, It does feel a little greasy at first but after about 10-15 minutes it feels nice and I like how my skin feels afterward. Read more
Nivea cream is the best for my face! It keeps my skin soft, smooth, and moisturized all day. I love the rich texture — a little goes a long way. It’s gentle, has a nice clean scent, and works great for dry or sensitive skin. A classic product that never disappoints! Read more
I have been a fan of Nivea products but thought they were good but not great in general. I read in a beauty magazine that this Nivea Creme is as close to a dupe of LaMer than any other cream out there. I was stunned. They did an ingredient by ingredient comparison and this cream is nearly an exact dupe! I did a little more research and apparently it isn't a big secret - only to me. So I ordered a big ole tin of the cream. It was very inexpensive and I knew it was good for my body because I had used it in the past, just never on my face. This time, I started using it on my face. It is a huge tin so I only peeled back a little of the foil covering so as not to expose it all to air and bacteria. It will last for ages. Long story short, it works great on my face. It is hydrating, makes my face smooth and soft, doesn't pill up or flake, and isn't greasy. I will always love Too Cool for School Egg Mellow Cream best for firmness and wonderful hydration but this Nivea cream is heavier and gives my winter dry skin a lot more moisture. Is it a LaMer dupe? No idea. I used LaMer a few times and didn't see what the fuss was all about for the crazy high price. It was nice but nothing spectacular. However, for around $6.00 for 13.5 ounces, this Nivea Creme is the bomb. It's worth so much more than that. And it's great for the body as well. I just bought a second tin to use on just on my body. That way, I can keep the body one in the bathroom and take big scoops out for all over body hydration and keep the other one with my facial products and use it sparingly and with the nearly closed foil covering for safety. Bottom line: This cream, for the low price, is very, very good for both the body and the face. See ya, LaMer! :) Read more
