Creme - Original
The Nivea Creme is considered as one of the skincare classics with it being a staple moisturizer during my grandma's time👵. Despite the varied reviews that this product received throughout the years with its rather outdated formulation, needless to say I was quite surprised that it worked quite well for me✨.

My Personal Experience (The Positives☑️):
☑️ I bought this product as a desperate attempt to alleviate the prominent dry patches on my face due to the cold weather of the holiday season so I wasn't expecting that much from it. However, it exceeded my expectations. The product has a thick and sticky texture and can be quite difficult to apply all over the face, so I recommend rubbing in a small amount on your fingers or hands so it's easily spreadable. I really love how soft and smooth my skin feels after waking up in the morning. Since it has a thicker consistency, the hydration that it gives is a lot and can withstand even the harshest cold environments. It even helped moisturize my hands, which is the driest part of my body and helped get rid of dry patches☺️.
☑️ Although this product is thick, it never really irritated me, which is a plus👍.
☑️ The price range is also affordable even though it comes in a huge tin can. This is the type of product that takes a really long time to use up so for sure it'll last for a very long time🕜
The Negatives❎:
I have to be honest, this product isn't as bad as I expected but I think that its cons outweighs its pros and it is a product that is surely unsuitable for a lot of skintypes.
❎It's tacky and greasy🛢️
This is my number one pet peeve when it comes to moisturizers. I hate how there is so much oil that accumulates in my face whenever I use it and it's so sticky to the point that my hair is sticking in my face☹️. It's texture also makes it unsuitable for day use since it just becomes a greasy mess at the end of the day⛅.
❎ The fragrance💫
The scent is sooo strong. My skin isn't actually sensitive when it comes to fragrances, but its quite worrying that the fragrance on this cream is prominent so it might irritate those with a more sensitive skin type. Some of my friends even developed a small case of acne after using this product🙎.
❎ It can't be layered🧴
I actually tried to layer moisturizers before I apply it, but what happens is that it kind off dilutes(?) and just turns a bit watery. There's even a time where it pilled badly, reminiscent of peeling gels🙁 which made my skin itch. In short, this product is only suitable when it's the only other product in your routine.

I actually loved this one when I had dry skin, I used it for more than a year. It worked well for me. But now, my skin type change just when I turned 20. Hormonal acne is😅 so I only apply it on my neck, knees, elbows and feet.
