NIVEA EXPRESS HYDRATION OR NIVEA NATURAL FAIRNESS BODY LOTION

 

Todays post is not just a review but also a comparison between the Nivea express hydration and nivea natural fairness lotion. I have used their lotions in the past but stopped and I cant quiet remember why. I was looking for a new body moisturizer last year and came across this again and saw that the packaging had changed and so I decided to try it.

EXPRESS HYDRATION FOR NORMAL SKIN WITH SEA MINERALS.

It is a very light moisturizer

Its fast absorbing

• The ultra light formula absorbs in seconds and leaves your skin soft and supple immediately
• The formula with sea minerals supplies you with moisture all day.

Ingredents: Aqua, Glycerin, Dicapryly ether, Alcohol Denat., GlycerylstearateSE, IsopropylPalmitate, CetearylAlcohol, GlycerylGlucoside, MarisSal, Dimethicone, SodiumCarbomer, Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate, Phenoxyethanol, Linalool,Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate, Phenoxyethanol, Linalool, Benzyl Alcohol, Limonene, Citronellol, Parfum.

It is in a 400ml bottle and it truly is fast absorbing, I got this during the harmattan season (low humidity) in Nigeria last year for 1500 Naira because I needed a moisturizer that would not just moisturize my skin but will not be very greasy and this definitely did that for me. I didn't even need to add any sort of oil to this to make this any moisturizing. I would say though that once we started to get into the sunny season, it kind out started to get me really sweaty. 

MY VERDICT

If you have dry skin or live in a place with low humidity (dry air) and don't like greasy moisturizers this is definitely a great option and it is also very affordable.

MY VERDICT

I absolutely love this moisturizer, I also love the fact it has UVA/UVB protection and the liquorice in it also helps to give a subtle even toned complexion. It feels very moisturizing but when the humidity gets dry I do mix it with a little oil for better moisturization. It cost 1,500 naira.

RATINGS: 4.0 STAR

ODOUR: SMELLS A LITTLE SHARP AND CHEMICALLY BUT NOT OFFENSIVE AT ALL

LONGIVITY: LAST A LONG WHILE

PRICE: 5 STAR

COMPARISON

While I equally love the both moisturizers I personally prefer the natural fairness lotion because of the presence of a sun protection. I will be going back to the EXPRESS HYDRATION during the harmattan season though....
