For 25 years I have used Nivea for dry skin. Every once in a while I tried another product but they all left my skin feeling tighter and not as smooth. Now they've changed the formula this one is doing exactly the same. Devastated!
I am so disappointed by this new formula and bottle. For years this was the only lotion I would use. The new scent is different and much too strong. The new texture is lighter and less creamy and leaves me hands feeling greasy/wet. One of my favorite things about the previous formula was it absorbed quickly and my hands weren’t left with that greasy feel. The new bottle has a smaller pump top which is less comfortable, and the opening isn’t as slanted as previously so the lotion squirts forward instead of down.
I have been using this body lotion for about 20 years. A few days ago I started a new bottle, which had the '72h moisture' sticker, and experienced a bad allergic reaction. A similar thing happened to me earlier this year with another updated nivea product, so I managed to identify the source of the allergic response quickly. These incidents have destroyed my trust in nivea completely, will be avoiding the products in the future - after it being my go-to-brand for over 20 years.
