Recommend an upgrade from nivea please

[BeMoreSusan]

Could anyone please recommend a rich face cream like nivea but a bit more fancy? Something for mature skin ideally.
Thanks!

Use a serum, then nivea.
The aldi and lidl serums are good

La Roche Posay is a good rich cream but other than being moisturised if you want to see more dramatic results you'd need something like Retinol and vitamin c

Thank you both for the tips, it's a gift for my mum. I'm not sure that I will find anything that's actually better for her than nivea, her skin looks about 20 years younger than it is - I wish mine did!

Ohhh okay fab well what's wrong with sticking with nivea it's obviously working for her?! ❤️

Maybe get her a nice hand cream or something like that?

I really like the Nuxe miel balm for the face. It's really soft, buttery and nourishing. I'm one for rich creams and I like my skin to feel soft, my skin has never been so soft and I've repurchased it twice and I'll repurchase again soon. I'm not usually one to stick with a brand but this is a keeper for me. I also have sensitive skin and I do like Nivea.

My thoughts exactly but she's requested an upgrade!

Oh, is that the ultra comforting one @Buster ?

I've tried to do a link but my stupid phone won't let me, I like the lip balm in the jar too. Here's the name of the face cream. Rêve de Miel® Ultra-Comforting Face Balm

Thank you all very much!

Yes it is Op. I actually love it. My skin is amazing now, I've always had decent skin but this adds so much plushness to it. It really is great, I wear it day and night and a pot lasts about 2 to 3 months for me.

Any chance you can send a link?

My DM uses Nivea and hasn't liked anything fancier that I've given her because she's so used to her Nivea soft.

I've got very dry skin and use Nutrix by Lancome which is wonderfully rich. Define "mature" though... my mother, now in her mid-80s, has moved on to only using face products with added urea.

I'd get her Boots No 7 protect and perfect day and night cream plus their Advanced retinol complex to wear at night. She can alternate night with the P&P

Actually I've just remembered that my DM did use Clinique dramatically different moisturising lotion (yellow) for ages for a while then went back to Nivea soft. She might be alternating between the two.

I would say that the Clinique dramatically different moisturiser is nothing like Nivea, for a start it's runny. The Nuxe balm holds its shape, its definitely a cream, you could turn the pot upside down and nothing would fall out. It really is a comforting balm. A pleasure to use.

Nuxe creams are a pleasure to use. L'occitane makes a rich shea face cream in a glass jar which might also fit the bill.

Does your DM use Nivea Q10 range? If not then maybe try that.

I use the Nivea Q10 one out of choice, could afford more expensive. Similar ones I like are the frankincense neals yard one, dr haushka Rose day cream and balance me. Really dislike n7 protect and prefect, gives me a rash.

LaCerbiatta that’s the same as me, I switched from Clinique to Nivea Q10 because my skin seemed to be too sensitive for Clinique and I was getting little rashes.

Nivea Q10 is amazing!! 😀

Neals Yard Wild rose balm is amazing. Rich and your face glows in the morning! Good price for it on amazon at the moment www.amazon.co.uk/Neals-Yard-Remedies-Organic-Beauty/dp/B00787HH8Q?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

L’Oréal do some lovely creams for mature skin. There’s a truffle one and a Rosie one. In Superdrug they’re often on 3 for 2 so you could get her a matching serum and cleanser or an item for yourself.

Rosehip oil under a layer of Nivea is divine, so nourishing.
