Nivea DNAge Cell Renewal Anti-age Hand Care

Cold temperature in the office and frequent washing dries my hands so I tried this hand lotion thinking I'd put it in my bag since i wash my hand too when at mall or restaurant.

Claim:


Verdict:

Leaves hand slightly oily, satiny feel. The consistency is runny that i dont have to squeeze the bottle, just tilt it and the lotion will come out.

See how runny it is? i just poured some on my hand and it run down my hand. So i thought i cannot put this in my bag, it might spill all over when the flip top cover accidentally snapped off. It ended up a lotion I put beside my bed since I moisturize my hand before going to sleep,. Moisture freak, but seriously I've a worst case of dry skin on body (but normal to oily on face). My skin itches when dry

As to efficacy, after religiously using it, the lines on my hand minimized, it is brighter and even toned. A good investment I'd say. But nothing dramatic change or spectacular at once effect, you will have to wait.

Will I repurchase? hhmm, You know I don't stick in one product otherwise I wouldn't have anything to review. But I can recommend it to you guys. For a price of P219.75 (when I bought this), it's cheap enough.

Nivea Smooth Body Oil

CLAIM:

I love body oils, but this one is not working for me, aggregated by the weather, my skin got drier even if I apply oil generously. It absorbs in the skin though and doesn’t felt oily, but my skin got wrinkled coz of dehydration. In my frustration I added emu oil, jojoba oil, rosehip oil and Cleopatra oil (all from Storeeland.multiply) so it wont go straight to the trash bin.

I don’t see myself buying again. Again my skin condition is very dry (body) as in my skin gets flaky and white when I forgot to use lotion even just once!, So this may work on those with normal to dry skin.

Nivea Sensitive Balance Cleansing MIlk

I doubted this at first, or perhaps Im so into DHC cleansing oil then. I was at first using too much of this aiming to finish the product sooner since I wasn’t impressed. Why? After massaging this to my face, I need to remove the milk cream with a tissue then use a separate cleanser unlike DHC that is self serving. This really is a good make-up remover though, I see make-up traces on used tissue. I experimented if I can use this like ponds cold cream which you can leave on face after tissue-ing-off. It doesn’t sting while massaging it but after awhile I get the sensation, after removing it the mild sting is still on so I guess I really need to wash it off.


Claim:

I can use this cleansing milk but that is if I didn’t used make-up, say, the morning I wake up. This way it leaves skin with a bit of sticky feel, not really oily rather hydrated that for those with oily skin can skip the moisturizer part. Doesn’t have any scent and didn’t give me bumps whatsoever so this can pass on hypoallergenic test IMO.

Now past half the bottle, I find myself reaching for this more than DHC cleansing oil. I feel it does soothe skin sensitivities coz I easily get rashes due to heat, dust, smoke pollution, and some brand of MMU. But this cleanser sooths my skin by hastening the recovery. Rashes still surface my skin but not as severe as before and it does heal faster now. I’ll try to stick on this for the mean time since think this will help prevent breakout as I stop my hormone pills.

I see myself buying this wonderful product again.

Rate: 5/5

Nivea Sun Immediate Protection

When I saw the commercial for this, I was thrilled coz I usually go out for lunch or field work/meetings. I wanted a sunblock that I wont have to wait long for it to settle since those are on-the-spot lunch-out.

Claim:

It took me awhile to decide whether to get the SPF 30 of SPF 50 and which variant. There’s two variant too, the white one has got some whitening ingredient while this blue one doesn’t whiten. The breaking point? First, blue or white, I chose the blue one sine I’ve read that SPFs on whitening product is either not that potent or isn’t stable. Second the size, SPF50 doesn't come in small sizes and big size costs around P600 while the small one is around P300 (my thrift mode went on..) I just justified it by thinking that SPF50 might be too sticky for me already and I don’t want that sticky as-if-im-going-to-a-swimming feel.

So I roadtested it. I went on a client and spread the SPF on arms and legs. The scent was heavy for me, it’s the typical Nivea sunblock lotion for swimming scent. It’s a little greasy for me but tolerable. But the nice thing is even if the scent is strong I didn’t have allergic reaction to it which usually happens when I wore heavily scented lotions then I touch my face,. There instant red, itchy marks..

After awhile I felt my skin to be tightening, it signals me that my skin was dried out. My skin is greasy yet wrinkled,. Weird eigh? Perhaps that’s what differentiates the whitening lotion with high SPFs from real water resistant sunblocks, even if it says its got collagen for protection from wrinkling. I find it necessary to still moisturize and that I cannot rely on Nivea Sun alone to hydrate my skin. Five hours later I can still smell its scent on my skin. I thought its great coz its still there working. I didn’t sweat though so perhaps the lotion stay put and that it will not be simply rubbed out on car seats or clothing.

Rate: 4/5 I think it delivers when It comes to sun protection, it just fell short on anti-wrinkling as it claims.

Will I buy again: Yes, good for on-the-spot day activity..
