10 things you probably donโt know about this famous blue Nivea cream
1. Nivea cream was introduced in 1911 by pharmacist Paul Carl Beiersdorf and it was formulated with patent application of Lanolin
2. This cream was also the first stable water in oil emulsion. Thatโs why Nivea feels so moisturising on skin.
3. Initially Nivea cream came in pale yellow container. In 1925 Nivea changed its packaging to blue tin with a white logo
4. Nivea has two versions: one is German and another is American/Mexican. Formulations are almost same just 1-2 ingredients are different. They have different preservatives.
5. Nivea has high amount of mineral oil and petrolatum which make it an extremely effective occlusive. So if you have dehydrated skin then itโs gonna help you. It did not suit my face but works really well for my body. It has extremely rich butter like texture.
6. Lanolin is Niveaโs star ingredient to nourish the skin
7. It also has panthenol and glycerin to hydrate and soothe the skin.
8. Nivea has been called a dupe for La mer which costs more than 2 lakhs for 500ml. Some of the ingredients look identical but itโs very difficult to dupe a skincare because if you change even one ingredient or percentage then entire thing can turn out to be different. Plus I think La Mer has outrageous price and itโs expensive for being expensive sake ๐ so I really donโt care much about the dupe thing.
9. My father has been using Nivea for past 20 years and he does not use any other cream on his face except this. He is 61 now and has good skin.
10. But when I applied Nivea on my face, I got breakouts most of the times but it does make amazing overnight lip mask and hand cream for me. I also use it as neck cream. I quite like it this way because itโs really effective at keeping skin moisturised.

Have you used Nivea cream? ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Its too sticky
I will buy this and throw in the Dustbin
I want this saree..
Itโs greasy and scented. I donโt like using it on my face
Nivea cream is the most horrible one I have ever used. It made my skin darker than my actual skin tone. My Dermat told me it is for thick-skinned people and it shouldn't be used on the face since it has very high chemicals. Plus the biggest advice given by my dermatologist is to never believe what you watch online especially on these influencers'feeds. Stay safe.
I recommend not using this on skin.
Thank God you didn't show that creepy smile at the end
No this is not a good cream don't misguide people
Oily skin people are so unlucky, like no๐ "cheap but effective" moisturizers generally suit us. Most of the time they are creme based.
This cream good for winter's and can be used by all skin types for body purpose
i have oily skin, this cream welcomed my pimple
Worst one๐
Wt about ponds moisturizer ๐ขtell me it is good or not
This cream is very good…but only for body not for face ….it is very thick and oily it may ruin your face …but extremely good for body use only (atleast for me)
A best friend to my extremely dry and sensitive skin๐
It gives me break outs if i use it as moisturizer
I was 10 when I started that time I was unaware of skincare or such thing I used this cream on my face tht time nd my oily face becane more oily nd dark …
I have bery dry skin, and in winter, this cream is my skin saver….
Guys dont fall in trap, its absolute trash!! I've like 3 boxed of these unused at house….nowdays I'm putting them on my feets ,just so that i don't feel guilty of wasting of money on them…
65โน ki hai to mere lie 100 order krde behen ye hi size
My naani too used this since more than 30 years
This cream is awful. The brand needs to reformulate this properly so that it falls under skincare standards.
Borolin is so much better than Nivea. Plus it's an Indian brand too
So oily and artificial this feels never buy this ๐
This is the best moisturizer in winters for face as well as for body
It is more than 200 i guess nivea
Its full of chemicals
it's the worst moisturizer for acne prone and sensitive skin
It clogged pores
If this is harming your face, it can be used as a handcream/foot cream too since hands and feet are most susceptible to drying out.
Its not even worth 2penny. This crap gave me fungal acne and made my whole family members skin darker .. skim gets so oily after wards.
This cream darkens my skin.I love Nivea Soft and the nivea gel cream
Its just so damn thick dude
My favourite cream…….โค
#stopanimaltesting
No for my oily with acne pron skin๐
Any alternative for nivea soft ???? Because it burns my eyes but i loved the results ๐ฉ
People with acne prone skin leave the chat
Not for uss
If possible purchase Nivea and Vaseline from outside India specifically from Middle East
These 2 products are a game changer
I love it but This brand is in boycott list so i quit using it ๐ข๐ข free palas*ine
La Mer is not worth 2 lakhs
It has alcohol… extremely bad for skin
Check your facts didi๐
