Nivea Creme in the blue tub..

[paradoxicalInterruption]

....it's so thick, what do you use it for? Doesn't sink into face.

I have a dry face, so it does sometimes work in winter for me.
Mainly though, I use it for elbows, knees, and my horrible dry nailbeds.

I use it as night cream

I use it on my face, my skin is really dry.

Any dry skin areas and night cream.
My Grandmother used this and my Mum uses this. It's like a family tradition.

Our family tradition too. I use it as an eye cream.

I add citronella and use as a mozzie repellant overnight i.e. all over body.

I use it on my face in winter. My skin gets really dry and just soaks it up.

Apparently you have to warm it up in your hands, then it sinks in. I haven't tried it, I use their less thick ones (and love them).

I find it too thick and greasy to serve any purpose.

night cream.
and eczema ream for my dry hands.
it will sink in, but will take a few minutes.

Nivea Soft (in a white tube or tub) is the perfect texture on my face and it's as good as the blue tub. It's a thinner-but-still-thick consistency that's better suited to the face.

Nivea is the only face cream that works on my dry skin. I've tried lots of different moisturisers and this is the only one that stops my face feeling right. It is very thick though!

Nivea Soft is a million times nicer, I don't know why people still buy the original!

To blob on spots before I go to bed.

nivea soft stinks. I can't stand the smell.

Seconding Nivea soft (white tub)
Thick but sinks in easily. Great for body moisturising.

I love it! Hands, knees, elbows .. I'm a nurse so my hands get very dry from the alcohol rub and it really helps. Don't really use it on my face as have v sensitive skin that reacts to almost anything but its great everywhere else.

I want to love Nivea, it's a family tradition too, but my skin hates it. Spots galore.

I use it as a night cream - makes my skin lovely and soft in the morning. You only need a small amount so one tub lasts ages.

Night cream, but I use the white tub not the blue one

I put it on before and after flights. Must be the air conditioning on the plane as my skin completely dries out. Then throughout the holiday as needed - on my legs usually.

It gave me a horrendous allergic reaction to my face one time, looked like red/purple bruising all over.

Nothing else has done that to my face before or since.

I use it on my lips or to take my eye makeup off. It's one of the few things that doesn't sting my eyes.

I think you are supposed the leave your skin wet and apply thick Nivea on top so it will be easier to sink in but to me it looks like a nappy rash cream intended for baby butts. Forms a barrier.

It's the only moisturiser I can use on my very sensitive face. Only use a tiny bit, never had a problem with it sinking in.
