  • Deeply hydrating lotions performance

Nivea earns positive reviews for effective, gentle hydration across lotions, lip balms, and sunscreens, delivering soft, moisturized skin, believable sunless glow, and residue-free cleansing; however, scents can skew dated or bland, some creams feel heavy or too liquid, certain formulas irritate oily or very sensitive skin, and a few products leave stickiness in humidity. Nivea reviews also note standout icons like the blue tin and soothing cleansing oil, while performance varies by product and texture preference.

  • I use various products from Nivea. From the Nivea for Men line, I use a face wash, body wash, and shaving cream. For the line as a whole, I use lotion. All the products are top quality, leaving my skin feeling smooth and refreshed.

  • I really love the European formulations of Nivea! I only buy their products when I'm in the EU since the ingredients are much better. I wish they had the same products available in the US and at the same price as they are in Europe!

  • I don't normally use body lotion, but I needed this during the winter when my hands were ultra dry from washing them constantly. I like the cocoa butter scent in the one I've tried because it's somewhat sweet and not overpowering.

  • Nivea face was, face scrub, and after shave lotion are all affordable effective, and widely available options for men’s skincare routines. I like the facial scrub in particular. Their crown jewel is the Nivea creme. If is a powerful and efficient moisturizer that doubles as a hand cream. It smells medicinal like a barbershop and I personally love that scent. It comes in a very resuable glass jar.

  • I have tried multiple NIVEA products over the years, but this is specifically for the cream that is packaged in the small blue metal tins. I really like that this in a small portable tin. I personally don't like the feel of a greasy lotion but I can tolerate this product on my hands during the winter.

  • I like these lip balms, they stay on my lips longer than most products I have used in the past. Plus I like the vanilla flavor and it keeps my lips very soft. The watermelon, blackberry and cherry don't seem to stay on my lips as long as the vanilla buttercream and moisture, but I love the flavors, especially the blackberry. The blackberry has a darker tint, and the watermelon and cherry have a pinkish tint to them.

  • Nivea products are reliable and affordable. I’ve been using their body lotions and moisturizers for a while now, and they keep my skin feeling soft and hydrated all day. The scent is pleasant but not overwhelming, which I really appreciate. While I love how nourishing their products are, I wish they had a bit more variety in textures for different skin types. Still, Nivea remains a trusted brand in my skincare routine!

  • I tried the cocoa butter lotion before. It’s ok. Doesn’t really smell like anything which I didn’t like. The bottle was big though so it lasted a long time

  • I’ve been using this product for years. It is very good for adding moisture to my extra dry skin. I also use it on my bald head, which tends to run dry as well.
