Nivea Soft SORT OF replacement

2 replies

Hi all,

I was utterly besotted when I found out that Nivea had changed the ingredients of their Soft range. The new vegan formula made my skin sting and my spots much worse than before. So I started a journey on trying to find a replacement and have been through 5 moisturisers so far.

The other day I decided to google the first line of ingredients of my old Nivea Soft pot to find moisturisers with similar ingredients, and I came up with Astrea cream. It’s not an exact match by any means and is slightly greasy when compared to Nivea Soft, but it makes my skin feel super soft like Nivea used to and I haven’t noticed any new spots since I started using it a couple of weeks ago!

I’m sharing this in the hopes that it helps someone else who was upset about the Nivea Soft change!

Besotted means you really love something

Yes it does. It can also mean intoxicated but I definitely wasn’t under the influence of anything because I’m pregnant! I really meant to write “beside myself” or something to that effect but I was distracted as I wrote this post initially and Mumsnet won’t let me edit my post.
