NIVEA Skin Firming Toning Body Gel Cream with Q10 Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C Clinically Tested Skin Firming

Whoa. I learned about this lotion from Beauty by Anne-Marie (on YouTube). As with anything by influencers, I was skeptical. But I'm 55 and my neck was kinda bumming me out, what with the deep tech neck lines and ever increasing wattle. In TWO APPLICATIONS, this made my neck look CONSIDERABLY better. I tried a different version of the Nivea Q10 lotion a couple of years ago that I just couldn't bring myself to use because of the smell (I think it was the one that is specifically for necks). This one has a much lighter scent that dissipates more quickly. I'd still prefer it to be unscented, but I can handle the "lotus" scent. Now, I know that if a lotion has an effect within 24 hours it has to be largely temporary. But I'm hoping that the Q10 will also help long term! And, this works WAY better and is less irritating than the Revision Nectifirm cream I spent $$$ on. There's one other caveat to this product, though. I realized this *after* I bought it. Nivea sells products in China, and because of this is subject to a law that requires animal testing. They say they're working to persuade Chinese authorities to change the law. So, while they're cruelty free in Europe and North America, they participate in legally required animal testing in China. If that's a barrier for you, the Inkeylist sells a Q10 serum that might work, and they don't sell in mainland China and are therefore cruelty free. If you do buy this Nivea product, you might consider sending an email to Nivea to urge them to do more to stop animal testing, or sending an email to the Chinese embassy to ask them to stop requiring it. That's what I did. Anyway, since I've already bought this and it WORKS, I'm going to keep this tube of lotion on my nightstand and use it morning and night! When it's gone, I might see if a mix of fully cruelty free Q10 serum and hyaluronic acid would do the trick, but I have to say that this Nivea lotion is like some kind of sorcery. Read more

This is my second tube, and I've been really happy with how it works alongside my regular routine. I use it mainly on my thighs and glutes, and over time, the skin there has looked smoother and a bit firmer. The appearance of cellulite has definitely improved, but to be fair, I also work out regularly and eat pretty clean—so I see this more as something that enhances the work I’m already putting in rather than a standalone fix. The gel texture is light and refreshing, and it sinks into the skin quickly without leaving any residue. There’s a very subtle cooling sensation when I apply it, which I actually really like—it’s not intense, just enough to feel a little fresh. It’s been a nice addition to my post-workout or post-shower routine, especially in warmer weather. Read more

This gel is cool going on and makes my skin silky soft! I noticed a difference after just one use. I apply it before bedtime and my skin LOVES it. I will def be buying this again. Its a good value for the price considering the improvement it has made to my dry skin. Read more

I had beenr eading rave reviews all over the internet about this and could not wait to try it. I bought this as well as the Nivea cream lotion. I've been using these for about two months now. Initially I felt like I noticed a slight improvement that was mostly just textural (skin felt smoother and softer). I have continued to use this, but I do not have any TRUE difference that I can see. If you read the directions, it says apply twice daily. This gives me flashbacks to the super-popular "cellulite minimizing" creams that were popular 10-15 years ago that create a temporary visual improvement to cellulite though application of specific ingredients (such as caffeine). There is not truly a change to the skin, but the skin appearance changes slightly because the product is applied. When the product "wears off," the skin is the same as it was before. I cannot say for sure that is what is happening with this, but for me at least, that seems to be the case. It does seem like some people do experience longer term improvement, so this could just be a case of it not being compatible with my skin, or that I am looking for changes that the product isn't capable of. I do think this product has a nice scent and I like it well enough that I would (possibly) continue to use it, but if you are expecting earth shattering results or extreme change like some of the photos have demonstrated, you may want to adjust your expectations a bit.

I don’t have pictures to prove it, but I can say that this has been great for my upper legs and I can see a difference in the skin firmness. Read more
