Not yet tried the new formula but I did have a similar reaction once to a cream that was high in urea. Have they upped the urea content?

I get this (and always have) with all Nivea products I have tried other than their thick white cream in the blue tin. I still haven't managed to work out what it is but I just avoid anything Nivea these days!

Interested in this thread?

Just to add, I don't have reaction like this to urea in creams so I know it won't be that for me

I think in future we will avoid, my daughter told me she cant touch it as it irritates her skin , so some ingredients may be to acidic.
