Toxic AF. Geraniol is actually restricted in some countries and Parfum is a big no-no for sensitive skin due to it containing unknown substances not listed by manufacturers (up to 70!!)
@@--RBuo84if you're talking about the Avene Cold Cream "Nourishing Cream," it's missing some of the main ingredients she lists here. The Cold Cream Concentrated Hand Cream is a bit of a closer match, but it also has fragrance 😭 The hardest one to match seems to be Panthenol. I swear I used to see it in everything, and now I'm googling hand/cold creams and seeing it nearly nowhere. Aveeno Skin Relief Overnight Intense 24-Hour Moisture Cream does have the other 3, that was the closest I found (the formula has a lot of other ingredients too tho). FWIW it can help to look at baby products for cheap/drugstore moisturizers without fragrance, since they're formulated for the highly sensitive skin of the average baby.
@@tari_runaAquaphor does indeed have all of the core ingredients she lists, without fragrance, but worth mentioning that some people are sensitive/allergic to the lanolin that it contains. Plain Vaseline is only petrolatum 😊 theoretically you could buy these things separately and combine them as needed since they are all shelf-stable, but you run into possible formulation concerns that I can't speak on as I'm not a cosmetic chemist (even panthenol is available online, but usually in powder form which may be tricky to work with). edit to add: just looked at the full nivea list and it seems to have lanolin as well. So Aquaphor would be a decent simpler formula.
coincidentally, since a week, i've been using nivea on my face every night before bed (a somewhat thick layer). usually, my skin looks so oily then, but it's WORTH the morning result! my skin becomes so supple and smooth
@@the_blue_mushroom_ actually, the skin takes it all in overnight. so, when u wash ur face in the morning, the cream is already absorbed within ur skin layers and doesn't come off. if u don't use a harsh cleanser, you'll be fine)
@@sokrslv I think they meant the "fabulous results", which may be pretended from wash to wash and may not give you these nice results for a longer way 🙂
@@moonlightshadoe4083 all routines stop showing result when we stop doing them. if u keep up w/ nivea & don't use harsh cleansers that strip ur skin of all oil, you'll keep getting results; cuz in the end it's just a moisturizer. (skin type matters, so u adjust the quantity or just use it less frequently/ switch product :)
@@ummmjustsayin oily skin here and I got to say, I love applying diaper cream over inflamed acne as an overnight spot treatment it also calms down my rosacea pretty well as an overnight mask without leaving a greasy finish because of the zinc oxide
@jellyen- Yeah, I found out that thick zinc oxide creams work very well at night to calm down my acne and at the same time combat dryness from tretinoin. It is a bit annoying to apply it, but worth it :) I got curoious about trying this Nivea one... It does not have zinc oxide but maybe would have a similar result? 🤔
I used Nivea in the tin as a merchant mariner on the Equator. It was a nice purse-sized portable tin that I could keep in my pocket at work anywhere and I loved the smell of it and the texture. It had also been used for decades by women I knew who were way older than me who used it while on small budgets.
id say genetics matter more than skincare. my grandparents, parents and me never had acne. im the only one who uses moisturizer sometimes. obv my family doesnt smoke and drink. big big taboo
As far as I remember, my mother, my aunts and even my grandmother were using it as a daily cream for their face and hands 30 years ago. This habbit didn't chance so much. Maybe because of its reasonable price or maybe availability, over these 30 years they continued to use it. And now my 75 years old aunt's skin looks like 50's at all.
i have seen people in the comments discuss that the german texture is better and as a german i agree. i have tried asian nivea and the german type has the texture of beeswax when rubbed into hands compared to outside the EU. it needs no thick application as one thick layer is similar to a film of wax.
I got this right after you mentioned it in your skin barrier video! Hasn't fixed my pores or pimples but totally healed my damaged dry skin. step 1 done ;-;
Try innisfree volcanic pore clay mask. That stuff pull your blackheads from nose and face, thwre is a video called how to remove blackheads from nose definily in youtube
I was gifted a tin for Christmas and it sat unopened until 2 minutes ago. Used it for my moisturizer during my evening skin care and am interested to see how my skin looks in the morning. It does already look glowy.
@@irinareinaAmazing! I used it last night as well. My skin looks more even toned and less textured. My pores are smaller. I’m shook. It’s like I had a facial treatment and my skin is five years younger. It absorbed nicely into my skin and didn’t transfer onto my silk pillowcase either. ❤
I love using Nivea at night, i could never use it during the day because it's so thick, but it's my go to night moisturizer. My entire family slathered their faces with it every night and we never had acne issues
I can’t. 😂 In my country this cream is cheap, and youth used to run away from it because the weather is so warm, it can really cause acne. Then these Korean products became trendy here because they had the most matte finish. And I used to love them. But they were way more expensive. Then Korean brands started to reformulate products to match the glass skin trend, and some people kept buying those, even though it’s so warm in here. And now, with the Koreans using Nivea creme, it feels like everything is upside down. It’s so funny and a little confusing.
It's really a matter of personal preference. Nivea, Vaseline, Rash cream, they're all occlusive. Nivea says their cream is non-comedogenic but an occlusive. This means it creates a barrier so moisture and oils and product on your skin will be sealed in. It's especially good for people with dry skin. However, while an occlusive isn't comedogenic by itself, if you're oily then it traps all that oil under it and that abundance of trapped oil is what goes on to clog your pores so discretion is needed when you use it. And of course there's the fragrance which by itself isn't terrible but some people's skin reacts to the fragrance negatively and others get headaches from it so again, discretion. The point is that Nivea is used as an occlusive and if that's the effect you want you can also use vaseline or rash cream with zinc oxide and see what works but make a conscious choice based on your skin type.
My grandma on my father's side only used Nivea cream and soap and even though she was a smoker she had very nice skin. On the other hand my mother hates Nivea, never used it and she has beautiful skin too... I love it as a hand cream but rarely use it on my face.

In Brazil we love Nivea Creme, that blue tin. It's a classic and one of the must have. Most of us have oily skin (mine is oily during spring and summer, but more dry in winter). Here we have the German version, with Eucerit. It's great for under eye, because it's one the best creams to prevent dryness and fine lines under the eyes. It's the best before concealer. Also, I love to pass just a little before makeup sometimes, (and before the sunscreen) because it balances everything and does not allow the foundation to mark the face. So it goes like that with makeup: Nivea creme - sunscreen to oily skin - matte ou semi matte foundation. So it's not glowing like oily, but also not so dry. Yes, it does protect the barrier of the skin. It's good to pass a serum or some treatment before and then apply it over it, it works as an occlusive and extra nutrition for the skin over night! It's the best cream for body, and for use when the acid made your skin more sensible. It's the only cream that calms my skin. We really love that one in Brazil, and many women mix it with 2 drops of... Wild rose, I think. The name If Rosa Mosqueta oil, it's a flower from Chile super rich in A vitamin, and that mix can improve melasma and lines. I can't use that oil because it causes me acne (while the Nivea, don't).
Oh my god! I was thinking how to reduce that glowiness 🤣 I was glowing like a butter after Nivea and sunscreen. I will definitely try matte foundation after, thank you 🤍
I haven't tried Nivea cause I'm afraid of the essential oils in it but I can say that my father in law who has been using Nivea on his face all his life, has amazing, wrikle free, glowy, smooth skin in his late sixties 🤷♀️
1:32 The one in the blue plastic jar is the same as in the blue tin. You can also buy it in a tube. When it says just "Nivea Creme" and nothing else, it's exactly that.
@@irinareina Interestingly the Nivea Creme in the plastic jar is not even officially sold here in Germany (but you can get it online from A. - I think it's an import from Poland) - it's sold in a 100ml tube here though. See your local Nivea site online. Everything that's not on there is probably an import from another country. There are regional differences. The American version has a slightly different composition. I think for most of Europe/EU the formula for the Creme is the same - though in the Netherlands they swapped out the Paraffin/Mineral oils for plant based oils - and many are not happy about it. Again, if it just says "Nivea Creme" on the package it should just be Nivea Creme.
@@irinareina I think i figured it out. I found the Nivea in the plastic jar on Nivea US, Nivea UK and Nivea ME (middle east), - the UK version lists the exact same ingredients in the exact same order as the Nivea Creme in the blue tin in Germany - so it should be the same formula: Aqua, Paraffinum Liquidum, Cera Microcristallina, Glycerin, Lanolin Alcohol (Eucerit), Paraffin, Panthenol, Magnesium Sulfate, Decyl Oleate, Octyldodecanol, Aluminum Stearates, Citric Acid, Magnesium Stearate, Limonene, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal, Linalool, Citronellol, Benzyl Benzoate, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Parfum The US version list uses different naming conventions for the same ingredients i.e. "Mineral Oil" instead of "Paraffinum Liquidum" - or Petrolatum (US) instead of "Cera Microcristallina" (UK/DE) which are both Petroleum Jelly aka "Vaseline" (the OG brand of Petroleum Jelly - so it serves a generic trade mark, like "Q-Tip" or "Coke"). The main differences between the German and US Nivea Creme ingredients are: Fragrance Components: The German version contains additional fragrance compounds like Limonene, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal, Linalool, Citronellol, and Benzyl Benzoate. The US version doesn't list these, relying on simpler fragrance ingredients. Preservatives: The US version has Sodium Acetate - a pH stabilizer - which is absent in the German version, which uses Citric Acid instead
Omg I just got two of these creams. Used to use the men’s after shave balm. Especially good to use as a primer for make up. Nivea is so nice my evening cream is super hydrating ❤
Thanks for speaking out for Nivea Cream . I love the German version of this cream . I use it very often day & night . It’s great under make up too . I have slightly dehydrated dry skin .
I have been using Nivea since I was a baby (I guess not me, lol). I was boring in Poland and it's not Polish anymore, but it was created in Poland many, many years ago. I don't like the IQ line, but the original Nivea cream is still in my fridge and always will be.
@@irinareina It's a ready product. Where I live, zinc paste is one of those traditional go-to products used as spot treatment on acne etc. It's usually only available in pharmacies.
Im shocked at the price - 13dollars for a tiny cup? wow. But the result is crazy good. Unfortunately if they aren't ethic and test on animals I will never buy it. I used to have it as a kid and of course I had no idea about this.
Its 3 dollars, 13000 Colombian pesos 😅 When it comes to animals testing, unfortunately, drugstore International brands can't avoid it, because of certain countries require this testing 🥲 For example, to stay on the Chinese market all brands supposed to do animal testing. Chinese market is one of the biggest and it is not so easy to leave it, it can lead to a huge financial problems in the company and even bankruptcy for some. I am not trying to get on there side and, of course, I am not supporting an animal testing, just want to explain, that situation is a little more complicated, than just “not ethic company that wants animals to sufffer”🥲
It's more the sebum (tallow/skin's natural fat/oils) trapped under the mineral oil barrier breaking you out. Mineral oil (Paraffinum Liquidum) and Petroleum Jelly (Cera Microcristallina/Vaseline) are both mineral oil based and both aren't metabolized by bacteria. It is an inert substance, meaning it doesn't interact with your skin in a way that promotes bacterial growth. However, when mineral oil is applied to the skin, it creates a barrier that can trap sebum (oil), dirt, and dead skin cells beneath it. This trapped buildup can clog pores, leading to comedones (blackheads or whiteheads) and possibly acne if the pores become infected or inflamed.
I have oily skin and the only Nivea product that I don't hate is their lip balm. Every single cream I tried from them, even the gel moisturizer that was completely oil free made my skin feel extremely gross, like way more oil than I naturally already produce, seriously, felt like I just smeared cocoa butter and cooking oil all over my face Not even their body lotion works for me, it just builds a layer of tacky, sticky oil and my skin beneath that stills dry
According to Yuka app, it is rated as 15/100.....which I still don't understand how this app work (because it seems that the components are whether "toxic", "pollutznt", "cancerogen", etc ; but this app doesn't tell us if it is really useful even with those components) Someone mind helping me how it works ? Thanks for your video by the way !!
Try chat gpt, I like to send there ingredients lists and ask if it has bad ingredients, what this ingredients for etc. You can create a whole prompt with everything you need 😌
I put on Nivea when I had dry patches on my face and ended up breaking out exactly in those places lol so it’s definitely not the moisturizer for me. I still use it as a hand cream tho
I used to add nevia in my skincare but after i applied my skin seems to be red and warm idk why is it and seems to get my skin more darker. Would appreciate if replied.
This answer was generated by AI when I asked what was the difference between German Nivea and American Nivea: Some say German Nivea differs from American Nivea in texture, ingredients, and smell: Texture German Nivea can be firmer and thicker, and some say it has a heavier, mattier texture that's harder to rub in. American Nivea can feel thinner and shinier. Ingredients German Nivea doesn't contain mineral oil, microcrystalline wax, or petroleum, and it may also lack some preservatives found in other versions. One reviewer says German Nivea ends with the ingredient cinnamyl alcohol. Smell Some say German Nivea has a pleasant smell that's a mix of citrus and a vintage flower like rose or lavender. Others say it smells the same worldwide
Yeah, people say in internet, that German version is closer to lamer and it is melting into the skin while US version stays on the skin as Vaseline. I got the German version
@@SearchIndex I am looking at the back and reading. I think mine is made in USA Bec it gives www as USA even though it has Beiersdorft , Germany as distributor but made in Mexico. Looking at ingredients and seems it has the 3 main ingredients you described as States. I will try to get the German since I bought 10 of this little containers. 🌹🌹🌹
I think this trend is so stupid. As a German Nivea is literally a cheap cream/ moisturizer that gets the job done. It‘s even traumatizing for me personally, because in Germany the texture is thick and oily. Also heavily scented which I always hated. As an adult I’m running away from this product. On top of that I watched a educational youtube video, I think of sb who is a chemist or works in cosmetics and explained how Nivea and La Mer are NOT even close to being a dupe. Trend cycle is sickening to watch.
@@irinareinay‘all my ethnicity is west asian but living in germany, like any product it might work for some but it wont for others. Another reason why I can‘t trust korean reviews is, when something is trending everybody swears by it until the next thing is hyped. Their culture just works like that. Same with fashion and other things. One does something, others are on it too. It‘s different for germans, we rather wouldn‘t people spend money on something that we didn‘t really like or it worked.
omg same haha, I feel in Germany Nivea is for old ppl and millennials who didn't know any better. in my generation, only boys sometimes use Nivea man cream bc they don't wanna use normal cream that doesn't have the word "man" on it xD
Thank god for living in Europe and the harsh Europe laws on product ingredients because we have the German version in the UK 😂 (in Superdrug if any UK people wondering)
We use nivea in Morocco the blue only at night never expose to sun.but the white bottĺe also good Kinta cream also good but not fr face only arms knees .... i think the magic ingridient is zinc
Mask is preventing the moisture from escaping. You can use it on top of the sheet masks or products that you don’t want to evaporate. Patches are having a healing effect and helps the skin to regenerate faster
the earrings I got in hm years ago, I don’t know if they still selling this exact ones, but they have tons of options. I love them too, planning to bring them to jewelry shop to create real gold ones like this 😌

I have dry but mildly sensitive and acne prone skin. I tried cetaphil moisturizers and even cerave but they always broke me out plus stung the sides of my nose?? However, when i tried niveas body lotion on my face because i ran out of night moisturizer, it did wonders to my skin. Im surprised because i then tested out a fragranced nivea day moisturizer the following morning, and the results were the same. It seems to have fatty ingredients i think but my skin didnt mind it. Im so confused why my face hates most cerave and cetaphil skincare products 😢 that was causing my skin to get cystic acne and closed comedones. Not sure whats happening. 🤔 can anyone relate?
Thank you for sharing, my skin hates some products from cerave, so I am not really buying it, I don’t know if I am doing something wrong or choosing wrong products, but I kind of gave up on the brand. Maybe I’ll try again in the future(I think it’s popular for a reason), but for now I am just staying away
@irinareina yeah, I just reread the ingredients from the cetaphil body lotion . It seems to have been reformulated and not just cetaphils products also cerave. Cetaphil Has pore clogging shit like avacado oil which actually makes my skin breakout in cysts. So sometimes it can be one or Two ingredients that your skin might not like such as, avacado oil, etc.
No need to put it as a heavy mask, scoop out a little bit from your finger into your palm and rub few times it will become a white cast look alike, gently pat that on your face ..
I've been using Nivea in white pack for years! It's not so thick as the one in blue pack and it's so multipurpose. It's good for face, hands, body and even hair as a non-washable balsam 😂sometimes i put it into the nose🫢 😅on allergic season to soothe the irritation. My skin is acne-prone, but this cream is so perfect for me, it feels so good on skin 🫶
My granma was famous for her perfect skin, she died at the age of 93 and she merely looked like a 70 year old. When asked (at the hospital by nurses) about her secret, she said: no smoke, no alcohol, daily Nivea. My mom has never used another cream for 50 years, actually it is a huge problem when we can't find the regular tin-can navy blue Nivea at our local store, she has certain paranoia that they might end producing the cream one day because of today's "stupid" youngsters' groundless accusations. :)))

Please don't try this at home, I had tried the overnight face mask thing and got an eye infection. Also it left my skin with a lot of bumps and an increased my comedogenic acne
@@irinareina but back then I have not used anything else other than this cream. Probably they might have improvised formulation… but even now ingredient list is not so impressive. And I would never purchase it! Dark doesn’t mean I have turned into 2-3 shades darker but as long as it’s on my skin, my skin looks dull as if I was in sun the whole day!! Thanks for the reply in between ❤️
Your video, which UA-cam recommended to me, contains several INACCURACIES and reflects a LACK OF UNDERSTANDING regarding the complexities of skincare formulations. Your opinion is presented in a rather unrefined manner that could be construed as misleading, particularly when you compare fundamentally different products without acknowledging their distinct functionalities and the individual needs they address. It's essential to recognize that Nivea isn't a dupe of CRÈME DE LA MER by La Mer, any of its versions, or La Prairie, as many poverty-stricken people would like to believe or influence others to believe. While there are four shared ingredients, it is inaccurate and silly to suggest that adding "expensive ingredients" from La Mer to Nivea's cream would transform it into CRÈME DE LA MER. Such a claim lacks scientific basis, and I encourage you to try La Mer's creams before comparing them to lower-priced alternatives in the market. Also, these four similar ingredients in CRÈME DE LA MER and Nivea Cream affect the performance of the products because of their concentrations. It is overly simplistic and scientifically unfounded to assert that four shared ingredients are adequate for the creams to function similarly. Additional ingredients, even in smaller amounts, can significantly impact efficacy, texture, absorption rate, and overall user experience, making it clear that these products are not similar. The quality and sourcing of ingredients play a crucial role in the effectiveness of skincare products. Discrepancies in purity, concentration, and the method of extraction or synthesis can lead to varying outcomes. For instance, a prestigious brand like La Mer likely sources higher-quality or more refined ingredients than a mass-market brand like Nivea, ultimately influencing the product's stability, potency, and overall performance. La Mer products often target consumers seeking luxury skincare with anti-ageing benefits, including ingredients tailored for such effects. In contrast, Nivea targets a broader audience seeking general moisturizing benefits. As a result, their formulations will differ to accommodate these distinct goals, which impacts the performance and how the products are perceived. Be mindful of the "information" and ideas you share, which can be detrimental to consumers. Ensure you fully grasp the world of luxury skincare before commenting. Ignorance doesn't pay!
that comment was kind of rude, she was just sharing her experience. using words such as poverty-stricken to debase people that like to say this is incredibly distasteful. nivea has been popular in all financial ranges for a very long time. though i do agree that there is a severe difference in formulation and you cant compare nivea to crème de la mer at least as far as production goes, if you look at their intended purposes, they dont wildly differ. both are emollient heavy creams used to lock in moisture. to be fair, your comment makes it look like you've fallen to luxury propaganda. there are reasons why certain things are expensive, like laser treatments or serums from your own blood. crème de la mer is just a cream made of the usual paraffin and microcristalline wax with just the algae as the fancy ingredient. i don't agree that it can be easily mixed in by yourself, but to demand such a high price for a cream with such accessible ingredients is baseless. in all honesty, not many ingredients have been proven to "anti"-age at all. what you can do is age slow, and the only things that really help with that are uv protection and vitamin A variations and derivatives. there aren't an insane lot of algae on your skin. better you eat it. luxury items are just to get people to plateau in their current financial bracket. unless they can prove themselves with a guaranteed effectiveness and an otherworldly quality, the price tag is a scam. an emollient cream does what it does. la mer is no exception. its formulation is average.
besides, you also argued that there are differences in "purity" as if luxury items are produced with immensely more care. as far as i know, a lot of luxury items don't differ from their production than fast fashion or general consumer brands, the only diffence being that luxury carries a name and reputation. nevertheless, you cannot deny that in order for any product to be approved for the market, it has to undergo quality control and you also worded yourself as if more economical products do not undergo such a thing. i can assure you that they are not less pure for not being expensive. every product has been in a lab. besides, you cannot forget that nivea too has had its origins a very long time ago in 1911. would their products have been so lacking in their composition, they wouldn't have kept up until this day even when the formulation has mildly changed. in addition to that, i'm not sure where you are from, but if you are from the EU, the product will be very close to the original recipe and will feel very rich whilst also being an affordable treat for all. no worries if you are a diehard la mer fan. just don't be rude to prove a point.
Instead of factual and critical in a helpful way, your comment comes off as rude and elitist (and as someone who actually likes certain luxury products, I hate people just throwing around the word elitist). "as many poverty-stricken people like to believe" is such an unnecessary remark, it certainly seems like you think people with more money have some higher value. Gross But yes, reading ingredients is basically "a scam" you could say. Not only can the quality of ingredients vary, the most important thing is different formulations of products -even though they basically contain the same ingredients- can perform very differently. Experts formulate products the way they are formulated for a reason. It's become a trend throwing around things like "Niacinamide = good" "Sulfates = bad" or whatever, this is to give us as the consumer a feeling of secureness and control. When we read a label and see "Niacinamide" somewhere in the ingredients we'll instantly feel positive and think "Wow, this product will be great for my skin, because there is this stuff inside that I know a lot about!". In reality there's almost no way, we as regular consumers will be able to read ingredients and judge the formula and the way the product will work based on that. I don't think it was justified of you to be so harsh. The research of this video was obviously done in english and maybe some korean, but she is from russia. I'm also not a native english speaker but know about these things, but this might not be the case for Irina. She's just not there yet in her language learning journey and that's totally okay. It's difficult to grasp or even come across complicated information like skincare formulations. She's doing well, obviously put a lot of effort into this video, and will be able to improve and learn more through comments.
@@mostprofessionalhater NOT SORRY, and while attempting to present an egalitarian view, your remarks are fundamentally flawed and imbued with a misguided sense of moral superiority*. Though harsh in tone for you, my initial critique is not devoid of merit and deserves more than an impulsive dismissal. Firstly, although stark, the term "poverty-stricken" highlights the disparity between socioeconomic classes in the context of consumer choices. It is not inherently distasteful but rather descriptive of the reality that certain products cater to specific economic segments. Your assertion that Nivea has been universally popular across all financial ranges is oversimplified. While it may be true that Nivea enjoys broad market penetration, this does not negate the fact that luxury skincare products like Crème de la Mer occupy a distinctly different niche, driven by targeted marketing and brand positioning. Your comparison of Nivea and Crème de la Mer, focusing solely on their emollient properties, overlooks the broader context of consumer psychology and brand perception. Both products may serve to lock in moisture, but the differentiation lies in the ancillary benefits, ingredient sourcing, and perceived value. So, your assertion that both creams do not wildly differ in their intended purposes is an oversimplification that disregards the complexities involved in the formulation and efficacy of skincare products. The mention of "luxury propaganda" is a reductive argument that fails to recognize the legitimate factors contributing to the high cost of certain products. While it is true that some luxury items command premium prices due to brand prestige (I LOVE TO INDULGE MYSELF WITH LA PRAIRIE), it is erroneous to generalize this as a universal truth. High-end products often involve extensive research and development, superior ingredient sourcing, and rigorous testing, all contributing to cost. Crème de la Mer, for instance, is renowned for its proprietary Miracle Broth, a unique fermentation process involving nutrient-rich sea kelp. This is not a marketing gimmick but a scientifically validated process that distinguishes it from more generic formulations. Dismissing its (cheap) price as "baseless" without acknowledging the complexity of its production is intellectually disingenuous. Your contention that luxury items serve to maintain individuals within their current financial brackets is a cynical perspective that disregards the nature of consumer behaviour. Luxury goods often symbolize achievement and status, transcending mere functionality. This value is a significant factor in consumer decision-making and should not be trivialized as a "scam." YOUR COMMENT, THEREFORE, IS MEDIOCRE AND AN OVERRELIANCE ON POPULIST RHETORIC*.
@@mostprofessionalhater Again, your comment is flawed and replete with misconceptions. It betrays a profound understanding of the nuanced differences between luxury skincare products and more economically priced alternatives. Firstly, your assertion that luxury items are similar in production to fast fashion or general consumer brands is a gross oversimplification. The notion of "purity" in luxury skincare products extends beyond mere quality control; it encompasses the meticulous selection of ingredients, advanced technological processes, and extensive research and development integral to their creation. Luxury skincare brands often employ proprietary techniques and exclusive ingredients that are not utilized in more mass-market products. To dismiss these distinctions as mere marketing ploys is to ignore the substantive differences that justify their premium pricing. Moreover, your argument that all products must undergo quality control to be approved for the market is a tautology that needs to appreciate the varying standards and rigour applied across different product categories. While it is true that all skincare products must meet regulatory requirements, the threshold for approval does not equate to uniform quality or efficacy. Luxury products' superior craftsmanship and higher concentration of active ingredients distinguish them from their more affordable counterparts. These products are not merely "pure" in a regulatory sense but are often crafted with precision and care far exceeding the minimum standards. The historical longevity of Nivea, originating in 1911, proves its enduring appeal and effectiveness within its market segment. However, longevity alone does not equate to superiority in all aspects of skincare. The market for skincare products is vast and varied, catering to a diverse range of needs and preferences. While Nivea has undoubtedly maintained its relevance, it occupies a niche different from high-end luxury brands. The continued success of a brand like Nivea does not diminish the value or efficacy of luxury alternatives; instead, it underscores the diversity of consumer needs and the multifaceted nature of skin care. Also, your claim that European Union regulations ensure that products remain close to their original formulations and are of high quality is valid but negates that luxury products often go beyond regulatory compliance. They invest heavily in innovation and advanced dermatological research to deliver superior results. The richness and effectiveness of a product are not solely determined by its regulatory adherence but by its formulation, ingredient sourcing, and the expertise involved in its development. Lastly, SORRY, NOT SORRY, but your admonition against rudeness in defending one's preference for luxury products is disregarded. Let us recognize the many inadequately educated individuals, lacking in knowledge, who aspire to be UA-cam personalities. These individuals disseminate misinformation and perpetuate a cycle of misconceptions and falsehoods. Hence, it is equally important to recognize that a robust critique of consumer choices must be grounded in factual accuracy and a deep understanding of the subject matter. The mere invocation of politeness should not serve to shield arguments from rigorous scrutiny. :)
This would be great if your have dry skin or a compromised skin barrier. I would use it as slugging in the winter on my cheeks Edit you could also use it as a cold cream (as was done in the ye old days 😂) apply it to the face and neck then wipe off with a tissue/ cloth after 5 mins. Before makeup or at night.
There is sugar In everything there is sugar In kale so definitely there is sugar in your carbs your ate. Sugar isn’t bad for your skin if it was I would be ancient looking and at almost 40 and sugar is heavy in my diet
The ingredients for the european/german version are
Ingredients: Aqua, Paraffinum Liquidum, Cera Microcristallina, Glycerin, Lanolin Alcohol, Paraffin, Panthenol, Magnesium Sulfate, Decyl Oleate, Octyldodecanol, Aluminum Stearates, Citric Acid, Magnesium Stearate, Limonene, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal, Linalool, Citronellol, Benzyl Benzoate, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Parfum
thanks, i will pin the comment so it will be easier to access 😌
Toxic AF. Geraniol is actually restricted in some countries and Parfum is a big no-no for sensitive skin due to it containing unknown substances not listed by manufacturers (up to 70!!)
damn that's a lot of alcohol and fragrances
I would never put it on my face
Which country's nivea cream did u use?
Uk,usa,german??@@irinareina
I wish they would make a fragrance free version, that's the only reason why I'm not trying this
Yes! I am SO allergic to nivea! I wonder if cold cream from avene is similar.
@@--RBuo84if you're talking about the Avene Cold Cream "Nourishing Cream," it's missing some of the main ingredients she lists here. The Cold Cream Concentrated Hand Cream is a bit of a closer match, but it also has fragrance 😭
The hardest one to match seems to be Panthenol. I swear I used to see it in everything, and now I'm googling hand/cold creams and seeing it nearly nowhere. Aveeno Skin Relief Overnight Intense 24-Hour Moisture Cream does have the other 3, that was the closest I found (the formula has a lot of other ingredients too tho).
FWIW it can help to look at baby products for cheap/drugstore moisturizers without fragrance, since they're formulated for the highly sensitive skin of the average baby.
Exactlyyyy !
I don't know where i heard it but they told that nivea cream is zust a mixture of vaseline with water and many perfumes added
@@tari_runaAquaphor does indeed have all of the core ingredients she lists, without fragrance, but worth mentioning that some people are sensitive/allergic to the lanolin that it contains.
Plain Vaseline is only petrolatum 😊 theoretically you could buy these things separately and combine them as needed since they are all shelf-stable, but you run into possible formulation concerns that I can't speak on as I'm not a cosmetic chemist (even panthenol is available online, but usually in powder form which may be tricky to work with).
edit to add: just looked at the full nivea list and it seems to have lanolin as well. So Aquaphor would be a decent simpler formula.
coincidentally, since a week, i've been using nivea on my face every night before bed (a somewhat thick layer). usually, my skin looks so oily then, but it's WORTH the morning result! my skin becomes so supple and smooth
I know! Skin feels incredible, I said that I would use it once a week, but this week I just kept using it because it felt so good 😌
What about then you wash your face,it's all gone, right?
@@the_blue_mushroom_ actually, the skin takes it all in overnight. so, when u wash ur face in the morning, the cream is already absorbed within ur skin layers and doesn't come off. if u don't use a harsh cleanser, you'll be fine)
@@sokrslv I think they meant the "fabulous results", which may be pretended from wash to wash and may not give you these nice results for a longer way 🙂
@@moonlightshadoe4083 all routines stop showing result when we stop doing them. if u keep up w/ nivea & don't use harsh cleansers that strip ur skin of all oil, you'll keep getting results; cuz in the end it's just a moisturizer. (skin type matters, so u adjust the quantity or just use it less frequently/ switch product :)
If you use diaper cream overnight, it heals your skin barrier with the zinc. Dr. Idriss the dermatologist, recommends this.
OMG MOTHER IDRISS😭💋🙏🙏🌷🌷💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻
Favourably for dry skin
@@ummmjustsayin Yeah she uses this technique when her skin barrier is really damaged and she’s irritated and dry/red
@@ummmjustsayin oily skin here and I got to say, I love applying diaper cream over inflamed acne as an overnight spot treatment
it also calms down my rosacea pretty well as an overnight mask without leaving a greasy finish because of the zinc oxide
@jellyen- Yeah, I found out that thick zinc oxide creams work very well at night to calm down my acne and at the same time combat dryness from tretinoin. It is a bit annoying to apply it, but worth it :) I got curoious about trying this Nivea one... It does not have zinc oxide but maybe would have a similar result? 🤔
I used Nivea in the tin as a merchant mariner on the Equator. It was a nice purse-sized portable tin that I could keep in my pocket at work anywhere and I loved the smell of it and the texture. It had also been used for decades by women I knew who were way older than me who used it while on small budgets.
It really is nice package, I agree. So tiny and flat 😌
My grandma is 85 and her skin is flawless - she only used Nivea her whole life
Can you ask her what her diet was? And if she smoked or drank a lot? Also sleep and work outs?
id say genetics matter more than skincare. my grandparents, parents and me never had acne. im the only one who uses moisturizer sometimes. obv my family doesnt smoke and drink. big big taboo
Which version US, UK or German?
A lot of grandmas used that and their skin is amazing
As far as I remember, my mother, my aunts and even my grandmother were using it as a daily cream for their face and hands 30 years ago. This habbit didn't chance so much. Maybe because of its reasonable price or maybe availability, over these 30 years they continued to use it. And now my 75 years old aunt's skin looks like 50's at all.
that sounds so inspiring 😌😌
Any idea which version it was? US, UK or German?
i have seen people in the comments discuss that the german texture is better and as a german i agree. i have tried asian nivea and the german type has the texture of beeswax when rubbed into hands compared to outside the EU. it needs no thick application as one thick layer is similar to a film of wax.
yeah, I got German version 😌
@@irinareina yippieee
I got this right after you mentioned it in your skin barrier video! Hasn't fixed my pores or pimples but totally healed my damaged dry skin. step 1 done ;-;
Yeah, it definitely would not fix pimples, but it good that it helped you anyway 😌
Try innisfree volcanic pore clay mask. That stuff pull your blackheads from nose and face, thwre is a video called how to remove blackheads from nose definily in youtube
I was gifted a tin for Christmas and it sat unopened until 2 minutes ago. Used it for my moisturizer during my evening skin care and am interested to see how my skin looks in the morning. It does already look glowy.
give us an update, how is your skin feeling? 😌
@@irinareinaAmazing! I used it last night as well. My skin looks more even toned and less textured. My pores are smaller. I’m shook. It’s like I had a facial treatment and my skin is five years younger.
It absorbed nicely into my skin and didn’t transfer onto my silk pillowcase either. ❤
I am happy it worked for you, can’t believe you had it all the time at your house 😂
I love using Nivea at night, i could never use it during the day because it's so thick, but it's my go to night moisturizer. My entire family slathered their faces with it every night and we never had acne issues
Yeah, it is definitely too much for day, I use it in the morning only when I stay home all day 😅
I can’t. 😂 In my country this cream is cheap, and youth used to run away from it because the weather is so warm, it can really cause acne. Then these Korean products became trendy here because they had the most matte finish. And I used to love them. But they were way more expensive. Then Korean brands started to reformulate products to match the glass skin trend, and some people kept buying those, even though it’s so warm in here. And now, with the Koreans using Nivea creme, it feels like everything is upside down. It’s so funny and a little confusing.
Same here in morocco

It's really a matter of personal preference. Nivea, Vaseline, Rash cream, they're all occlusive. Nivea says their cream is non-comedogenic but an occlusive. This means it creates a barrier so moisture and oils and product on your skin will be sealed in. It's especially good for people with dry skin. However, while an occlusive isn't comedogenic by itself, if you're oily then it traps all that oil under it and that abundance of trapped oil is what goes on to clog your pores so discretion is needed when you use it. And of course there's the fragrance which by itself isn't terrible but some people's skin reacts to the fragrance negatively and others get headaches from it so again, discretion. The point is that Nivea is used as an occlusive and if that's the effect you want you can also use vaseline or rash cream with zinc oxide and see what works but make a conscious choice based on your skin type.
thank you for your explanation! I didn’t know about that 😌
My grandma on my father's side only used Nivea cream and soap and even though she was a smoker she had very nice skin. On the other hand my mother hates Nivea, never used it and she has beautiful skin too... I love it as a hand cream but rarely use it on my face.
you have really good genes, that is for sure 😌

Спасибо за поддержку, очень приятно 😌🤍
In Brazil we love Nivea Creme, that blue tin. It's a classic and one of the must have. Most of us have oily skin (mine is oily during spring and summer, but more dry in winter).
Here we have the German version, with Eucerit. It's great for under eye, because it's one the best creams to prevent dryness and fine lines under the eyes. It's the best before concealer. Also, I love to pass just a little before makeup sometimes, (and before the sunscreen) because it balances everything and does not allow the foundation to mark the face.
So it goes like that with makeup:
Nivea creme - sunscreen to oily skin - matte ou semi matte foundation. So it's not glowing like oily, but also not so dry.
Yes, it does protect the barrier of the skin. It's good to pass a serum or some treatment before and then apply it over it, it works as an occlusive and extra nutrition for the skin over night!
It's the best cream for body, and for use when the acid made your skin more sensible. It's the only cream that calms my skin.
We really love that one in Brazil, and many women mix it with 2 drops of... Wild rose, I think. The name If Rosa Mosqueta oil, it's a flower from Chile super rich in A vitamin, and that mix can improve melasma and lines. I can't use that oil because it causes me acne (while the Nivea, don't).
Oh my god! I was thinking how to reduce that glowiness 🤣
I was glowing like a butter after Nivea and sunscreen. I will definitely try matte foundation after, thank you 🤍
I haven't tried Nivea cause I'm afraid of the essential oils in it but I can say that my father in law who has been using Nivea on his face all his life, has amazing, wrikle free, glowy, smooth skin in his late sixties 🤷♀️
Nivea creme doesn't contain essential oils, where did you heard that;
During winter I use nivea cream only. This is such a good night cream for me during winter.
The Nivea soft moisturiser is sooo good, it’s probably the one of the only things I’d give a 10/10
Really? And I am not a big fan of it! It’s crazy how different we all are 😌
Both are good❤
1:32 The one in the blue plastic jar is the same as in the blue tin. You can also buy it in a tube. When it says just "Nivea Creme" and nothing else, it's exactly that.
Really? I should definitely try it, because plastic jar is less messy. Thank you 😌
@@irinareina Interestingly the Nivea Creme in the plastic jar is not even officially sold here in Germany (but you can get it online from A. - I think it's an import from Poland) - it's sold in a 100ml tube here though.
See your local Nivea site online. Everything that's not on there is probably an import from another country.
There are regional differences.
The American version has a slightly different composition.
I think for most of Europe/EU the formula for the Creme is the same - though in the Netherlands they swapped out the Paraffin/Mineral oils for plant based oils - and many are not happy about it.
Again, if it just says "Nivea Creme" on the package it should just be Nivea Creme.
@@irinareina I think i figured it out.
I found the Nivea in the plastic jar on Nivea US, Nivea UK and Nivea ME (middle east), - the UK version lists the exact same ingredients in the exact same order as the Nivea Creme in the blue tin in Germany - so it should be the same formula:
Aqua, Paraffinum Liquidum, Cera Microcristallina, Glycerin, Lanolin Alcohol (Eucerit), Paraffin, Panthenol, Magnesium Sulfate, Decyl Oleate, Octyldodecanol, Aluminum Stearates, Citric Acid, Magnesium Stearate, Limonene, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal, Linalool, Citronellol, Benzyl Benzoate, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Parfum
The US version list uses different naming conventions for the same ingredients i.e. "Mineral Oil" instead of "Paraffinum Liquidum" - or Petrolatum (US) instead of "Cera Microcristallina" (UK/DE) which are both Petroleum Jelly aka "Vaseline" (the OG brand of Petroleum Jelly - so it serves a generic trade mark, like "Q-Tip" or "Coke").
The main differences between the German and US Nivea Creme ingredients are:
Fragrance Components:
The German version contains additional fragrance compounds like Limonene, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal, Linalool, Citronellol, and Benzyl Benzoate.
The US version doesn't list these, relying on simpler fragrance ingredients.
Preservatives:
The US version has Sodium Acetate - a pH stabilizer - which is absent in the German version, which uses Citric Acid instead
Omg I just got two of these creams. Used to use the men’s after shave balm. Especially good to use as a primer for make up. Nivea is so nice my evening cream is super hydrating ❤
I love this stuff! I have been using this forever. It’s amazing.
Thanks for speaking out for Nivea Cream . I love the German version of this cream . I use it very often day & night . It’s great under make up too . I have slightly dehydrated dry skin .
I should try it before makeup, but I feel I would definitely need to powder a lot to reduce crazy glow 😅
Mix Nivea with a small amount of baby oil and get a glowing, soft face. Perfect under foundation and it also makes it spread easier ❤
I love your videos! This was very informative and I'm shocked that such an old staple cream actually gives such nice results! I need to try it again 😋
Glad it was helpful! 😌
naturally beautiful 💘
thank you 😌
@@irinareina 🥰🥰🥰
Absolutely gorgeous! Would love to try it out😍
😌😌
I have been using Nivea since I was a baby (I guess not me, lol). I was boring in Poland and it's not Polish anymore, but it was created in Poland many, many years ago. I don't like the IQ line, but the original Nivea cream is still in my fridge and always will be.
Oh wow, that is interesting, I thought all this time that it was German 🙈
The Price is so insane to me. In Germany the exakt Same size costs 1.95 Euro 😅
It’s Colombian pesos, it’s around 3 dollars 😌
ja aber wir haben auch die original formel die super ist 😋
In India the 30 ml is 80 cents
Absolutely this is for dry skin . You said it right.
I just use a zinc paste with 3 ingredients in it instead. Vaseline, zinc and salicylic acid. Great for acne prone skin.
Do you mix it yourself? Or is it ready product?
@@irinareina It's a ready product. Where I live, zinc paste is one of those traditional go-to products used as spot treatment on acne etc. It's usually only available in pharmacies.
That is so interesting, where are you from? 😌
I mix my BB cream in it and then apply 😊 beautiful texture ❤❤
I should try it, isn’t it too shiny though? 😌
@irinareina no texture will be so smooth and application s easy and easy blendable
What is BB cream?
@@Breezieone beauty benefit cream it gives medium coverage
Im shocked at the price - 13dollars for a tiny cup? wow. But the result is crazy good. Unfortunately if they aren't ethic and test on animals I will never buy it. I used to have it as a kid and of course I had no idea about this.
Its 3 dollars, 13000 Colombian pesos 😅
When it comes to animals testing, unfortunately, drugstore International brands can't avoid it, because of certain countries require this testing 🥲
For example, to stay on the Chinese market all brands supposed to do animal testing. Chinese market is one of the biggest and it is not so easy to leave it, it can lead to a huge financial problems in the company and even bankruptcy for some.
I am not trying to get on there side and, of course, I am not supporting an animal testing, just want to explain, that situation is a little more complicated, than just “not ethic company that wants animals to sufffer”🥲

Wait, what is cold cream? For winter? 😅
@@irinareina yeah, lol

I should rebuy one before the hype reaches India
Agree

Thanks for this video. Highly interesting. I’m gonna need to try for when my face feels dry 😅
Mineral oil is a cheap oil that will break out your face if you’re prone to acne
It's more the sebum (tallow/skin's natural fat/oils) trapped under the mineral oil barrier breaking you out.
Mineral oil (Paraffinum Liquidum) and Petroleum Jelly (Cera Microcristallina/Vaseline) are both mineral oil based and both aren't metabolized by bacteria.
It is an inert substance, meaning it doesn't interact with your skin in a way that promotes bacterial growth. However, when mineral oil is applied to the skin, it creates a barrier that can trap sebum (oil), dirt, and dead skin cells beneath it.
This trapped buildup can clog pores, leading to comedones (blackheads or whiteheads) and possibly acne if the pores become infected or inflamed.
I have oily skin and the only Nivea product that I don't hate is their lip balm.
Every single cream I tried from them, even the gel moisturizer that was completely oil free made my skin feel extremely gross, like way more oil than I naturally already produce, seriously, felt like I just smeared cocoa butter and cooking oil all over my face
Not even their body lotion works for me, it just builds a layer of tacky, sticky oil and my skin beneath that stills dry
I get it!! That oil look is exactly why I liked it 😂 but I understand… with oily skin you definitely want an opposite effect
My mum uses nivea cream to remove her eye make up. She's been doing this for over 20 years.
That is interesting, sounds like a good hack if you don’t have cleansing oil 😌
According to Yuka app, it is rated as 15/100.....which I still don't understand how this app work (because it seems that the components are whether "toxic", "pollutznt", "cancerogen", etc ; but this app doesn't tell us if it is really useful even with those components) Someone mind helping me how it works ? Thanks for your video by the way !!
Try chat gpt, I like to send there ingredients lists and ask if it has bad ingredients, what this ingredients for etc. You can create a whole prompt with everything you need 😌
What is the difference between Nivea cream and whipped African Shea butter ?
different ingredients 🤷🏼♀️😌
Thanks I will try it
I put on Nivea when I had dry patches on my face and ended up breaking out exactly in those places lol so it’s definitely not the moisturizer for me. I still use it as a hand cream tho
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing! It can be good for hands too 😌
I used to add nevia in my skincare but after i applied my skin seems to be red and warm idk why is it and seems to get my skin more darker. Would appreciate if replied.
It sounds like an allergy, I would stop using it for sure!
This answer was generated by AI when I asked what was the difference between German Nivea and American Nivea:
Some say German Nivea differs from American Nivea in texture, ingredients, and smell:
Texture
German Nivea can be firmer and thicker, and some say it has a heavier, mattier texture that's harder to rub in. American Nivea can feel thinner and shinier.
Ingredients
German Nivea doesn't contain mineral oil, microcrystalline wax, or petroleum, and it may also lack some preservatives found in other versions. One reviewer says German Nivea ends with the ingredient cinnamyl alcohol.
Smell
Some say German Nivea has a pleasant smell that's a mix of citrus and a vintage flower like rose or lavender. Others say it smells the same worldwide
Yeah, people say in internet, that German version is closer to lamer and it is melting into the skin while US version stays on the skin as Vaseline.
I got the German version
How do you know which is German and the States ? They all look alike to me.
It says on the package, you need to read the back side. Visually they are identical
@@SearchIndex I am looking at the back and reading. I think mine is made in USA Bec it gives www as USA even though it has Beiersdorft , Germany as distributor but made in Mexico.
Looking at ingredients and seems it has the 3 main ingredients you described as States.
I will try to get the German since I bought 10 of this little containers.

Hi, can you do a video on how you're learning Korean?
I am planning to, but I think I will do it in September, I am doing a new way of studying and I want to test it first for a month at least 😌
I think this trend is so stupid. As a German Nivea is literally a cheap cream/ moisturizer that gets the job done. It‘s even traumatizing for me personally, because in Germany the texture is thick and oily. Also heavily scented which I always hated. As an adult I’m running away from this product. On top of that I watched a educational youtube video, I think of sb who is a chemist or works in cosmetics and explained how Nivea and La Mer are NOT even close to being a dupe. Trend cycle is sickening to watch.
The formulas are probably different or it works better with Asian skin
It makes total sense, maybe it really perfect for Asian skin 😌
@@irinareinay‘all my ethnicity is west asian but living in germany, like any product it might work for some but it wont for others. Another reason why I can‘t trust korean reviews is, when something is trending everybody swears by it until the next thing is hyped. Their culture just works like that. Same with fashion and other things. One does something, others are on it too. It‘s different for germans, we rather wouldn‘t people spend money on something that we didn‘t really like or it worked.
omg same haha, I feel in Germany Nivea is for old ppl and millennials who didn't know any better. in my generation, only boys sometimes use Nivea man cream bc they don't wanna use normal cream that doesn't have the word "man" on it xD

I have dry but mildly sensitive and acne prone skin. I tried cetaphil moisturizers and even cerave but they always broke me out plus stung the sides of my nose?? However, when i tried niveas body lotion on my face because i ran out of night moisturizer, it did wonders to my skin. Im surprised because i then tested out a fragranced nivea day moisturizer the following morning, and the results were the same. It seems to have fatty ingredients i think but my skin didnt mind it. Im so confused why my face hates most cerave and cetaphil skincare products 😢 that was causing my skin to get cystic acne and closed comedones. Not sure whats happening. 🤔 can anyone relate?
Thank you for sharing, my skin hates some products from cerave, so I am not really buying it, I don’t know if I am doing something wrong or choosing wrong products, but I kind of gave up on the brand. Maybe I’ll try again in the future(I think it’s popular for a reason), but for now I am just staying away
@irinareina yeah, I just reread the ingredients from the cetaphil body lotion . It seems to have been reformulated and not just cetaphils products also cerave. Cetaphil Has pore clogging shit like avacado oil which actually makes my skin breakout in cysts. So sometimes it can be one or Two ingredients that your skin might not like such as, avacado oil, etc.
do you think I can use castor oil and the patches/mask?
I think yes, I want to try it too. Just maybe not to much or trying for short time first to see how the skin reacts 😌

Acne can cause due to poor gut health also not because of the cream may be😮

It's good for face, hands, body and even hair as a non-washable balsam 😂sometimes i put it into the nose🫢 😅on allergic season to soothe the irritation. My skin is acne-prone, but this cream is so perfect for me, it feels so good on skin 🫶
Can’t put up with the fragrance. Yes, can put it on my body but the fragrance is too overpowering for my face.
yes, it is definitely has a strong fragrance, would not be good for sensitive people, but I personally love this sense
My granma was famous for her perfect skin, she died at the age of 93 and she merely looked like a 70 year old. When asked (at the hospital by nurses) about her secret, she said: no smoke, no alcohol, daily Nivea. My mom has never used another cream for 50 years, actually it is a huge problem when we can't find the regular tin-can navy blue Nivea at our local store, she has certain paranoia that they might end producing the cream one day because of today's "stupid" youngsters' groundless accusations. :)))
I hope they won’t 🤞🏻

Зачем покупать эту пустышку которая состоит из нефтепродуктов, когда есть гораздо лучшие лучшие и не дорогие кремы?
Тут половина комментариев говорит, что это лучший крем в их жизни 🤷🏼♀️ Я бы не стала его уж совсем пустышкой называть 😌
Korean Nivea is not the same as American Nivea. Korean is much better
Korean Nivea is German nivea 😌
I didn’t know people still used Nivea
yeah, I was supposed too!
Yeah I m using it healed my sensitive acne skin barrier skin❤
Please don't try this at home, I had tried the overnight face mask thing and got an eye infection. Also it left my skin with a lot of bumps and an increased my comedogenic acne
If you have a sensitive skin or a skin condition, you should never apply products without your dermatologist’s approval 😢
It works for most people, it probably is bc it's not for ur skin
please talk to the doctor to avoid situations like that, it looks like you have very sensitive skin
I used it 10 years ago in India it makes my skin look dull n dark!
I don’t think it was the cream, it can’t make your skin dark 😬
@@irinareina but back then I have not used anything else other than this cream. Probably they might have improvised formulation… but even now ingredient list is not so impressive. And I would never purchase it! Dark doesn’t mean I have turned into 2-3 shades darker but as long as it’s on my skin, my skin looks dull as if I was in sun the whole day!!
Thanks for the reply in between ❤️
oh okay, I get it. Then it is definitely not for your skin 😌
Love you but nivea is on the boycott list! Free palestine🍉
you're using a google product lol
Your video, which UA-cam recommended to me, contains several INACCURACIES and reflects a LACK OF UNDERSTANDING regarding the complexities of skincare formulations. Your opinion is presented in a rather unrefined manner that could be construed as misleading, particularly when you compare fundamentally different products without acknowledging their distinct functionalities and the individual needs they address.
It's essential to recognize that Nivea isn't a dupe of CRÈME DE LA MER by La Mer, any of its versions, or La Prairie, as many poverty-stricken people would like to believe or influence others to believe.
While there are four shared ingredients, it is inaccurate and silly to suggest that adding "expensive ingredients" from La Mer to Nivea's cream would transform it into CRÈME DE LA MER. Such a claim lacks scientific basis, and I encourage you to try La Mer's creams before comparing them to lower-priced alternatives in the market.
Also, these four similar ingredients in CRÈME DE LA MER and Nivea Cream affect the performance of the products because of their concentrations. It is overly simplistic and scientifically unfounded to assert that four shared ingredients are adequate for the creams to function similarly. Additional ingredients, even in smaller amounts, can significantly impact efficacy, texture, absorption rate, and overall user experience, making it clear that these products are not similar.
The quality and sourcing of ingredients play a crucial role in the effectiveness of skincare products. Discrepancies in purity, concentration, and the method of extraction or synthesis can lead to varying outcomes. For instance, a prestigious brand like La Mer likely sources higher-quality or more refined ingredients than a mass-market brand like Nivea, ultimately influencing the product's stability, potency, and overall performance.
La Mer products often target consumers seeking luxury skincare with anti-ageing benefits, including ingredients tailored for such effects. In contrast, Nivea targets a broader audience seeking general moisturizing benefits. As a result, their formulations will differ to accommodate these distinct goals, which impacts the performance and how the products are perceived.
Be mindful of the "information" and ideas you share, which can be detrimental to consumers. Ensure you fully grasp the world of luxury skincare before commenting. Ignorance doesn't pay!
that comment was kind of rude, she was just sharing her experience. using words such as poverty-stricken to debase people that like to say this is incredibly distasteful. nivea has been popular in all financial ranges for a very long time.
though i do agree that there is a severe difference in formulation and you cant compare nivea to crème de la mer at least as far as production goes, if you look at their intended purposes, they dont wildly differ. both are emollient heavy creams used to lock in moisture. to be fair, your comment makes it look like you've fallen to luxury propaganda. there are reasons why certain things are expensive, like laser treatments or serums from your own blood. crème de la mer is just a cream made of the usual paraffin and microcristalline wax with just the algae as the fancy ingredient. i don't agree that it can be easily mixed in by yourself, but to demand such a high price for a cream with such accessible ingredients is baseless. in all honesty, not many ingredients have been proven to "anti"-age at all. what you can do is age slow, and the only things that really help with that are uv protection and vitamin A variations and derivatives. there aren't an insane lot of algae on your skin. better you eat it.
luxury items are just to get people to plateau in their current financial bracket. unless they can prove themselves with a guaranteed effectiveness and an otherworldly quality, the price tag is a scam. an emollient cream does what it does. la mer is no exception. its formulation is average.
besides, you also argued that there are differences in "purity" as if luxury items are produced with immensely more care. as far as i know, a lot of luxury items don't differ from their production than fast fashion or general consumer brands, the only diffence being that luxury carries a name and reputation. nevertheless, you cannot deny that in order for any product to be approved for the market, it has to undergo quality control and you also worded yourself as if more economical products do not undergo such a thing. i can assure you that they are not less pure for not being expensive. every product has been in a lab. besides, you cannot forget that nivea too has had its origins a very long time ago in 1911. would their products have been so lacking in their composition, they wouldn't have kept up until this day even when the formulation has mildly changed. in addition to that, i'm not sure where you are from, but if you are from the EU, the product will be very close to the original recipe and will feel very rich whilst also being an affordable treat for all. no worries if you are a diehard la mer fan. just don't be rude to prove a point.
Instead of factual and critical in a helpful way, your comment comes off as rude and elitist (and as someone who actually likes certain luxury products, I hate people just throwing around the word elitist). "as many poverty-stricken people like to believe" is such an unnecessary remark, it certainly seems like you think people with more money have some higher value. Gross
But yes, reading ingredients is basically "a scam" you could say. Not only can the quality of ingredients vary, the most important thing is different formulations of products -even though they basically contain the same ingredients- can perform very differently.
Experts formulate products the way they are formulated for a reason. It's become a trend throwing around things like "Niacinamide = good" "Sulfates = bad" or whatever, this is to give us as the consumer a feeling of secureness and control. When we read a label and see "Niacinamide" somewhere in the ingredients we'll instantly feel positive and think "Wow, this product will be great for my skin, because there is this stuff inside that I know a lot about!". In reality there's almost no way, we as regular consumers will be able to read ingredients and judge the formula and the way the product will work based on that.
I don't think it was justified of you to be so harsh. The research of this video was obviously done in english and maybe some korean, but she is from russia. I'm also not a native english speaker but know about these things, but this might not be the case for Irina. She's just not there yet in her language learning journey and that's totally okay. It's difficult to grasp or even come across complicated information like skincare formulations. She's doing well, obviously put a lot of effort into this video, and will be able to improve and learn more through comments.
@@mostprofessionalhater NOT SORRY, and while attempting to present an egalitarian view, your remarks are fundamentally flawed and imbued with a misguided sense of moral superiority*. Though harsh in tone for you, my initial critique is not devoid of merit and deserves more than an impulsive dismissal.
Firstly, although stark, the term "poverty-stricken" highlights the disparity between socioeconomic classes in the context of consumer choices. It is not inherently distasteful but rather descriptive of the reality that certain products cater to specific economic segments. Your assertion that Nivea has been universally popular across all financial ranges is oversimplified. While it may be true that Nivea enjoys broad market penetration, this does not negate the fact that luxury skincare products like Crème de la Mer occupy a distinctly different niche, driven by targeted marketing and brand positioning.
Your comparison of Nivea and Crème de la Mer, focusing solely on their emollient properties, overlooks the broader context of consumer psychology and brand perception. Both products may serve to lock in moisture, but the differentiation lies in the ancillary benefits, ingredient sourcing, and perceived value. So, your assertion that both creams do not wildly differ in their intended purposes is an oversimplification that disregards the complexities involved in the formulation and efficacy of skincare products.
The mention of "luxury propaganda" is a reductive argument that fails to recognize the legitimate factors contributing to the high cost of certain products. While it is true that some luxury items command premium prices due to brand prestige (I LOVE TO INDULGE MYSELF WITH LA PRAIRIE), it is erroneous to generalize this as a universal truth. High-end products often involve extensive research and development, superior ingredient sourcing, and rigorous testing, all contributing to cost.
Crème de la Mer, for instance, is renowned for its proprietary Miracle Broth, a unique fermentation process involving nutrient-rich sea kelp. This is not a marketing gimmick but a scientifically validated process that distinguishes it from more generic formulations. Dismissing its (cheap) price as "baseless" without acknowledging the complexity of its production is intellectually disingenuous.
Your contention that luxury items serve to maintain individuals within their current financial brackets is a cynical perspective that disregards the nature of consumer behaviour. Luxury goods often symbolize achievement and status, transcending mere functionality. This value is a significant factor in consumer decision-making and should not be trivialized as a "scam." YOUR COMMENT, THEREFORE, IS MEDIOCRE AND AN OVERRELIANCE ON POPULIST RHETORIC*.
@@mostprofessionalhater Again, your comment is flawed and replete with misconceptions. It betrays a profound understanding of the nuanced differences between luxury skincare products and more economically priced alternatives.
Firstly, your assertion that luxury items are similar in production to fast fashion or general consumer brands is a gross oversimplification. The notion of "purity" in luxury skincare products extends beyond mere quality control; it encompasses the meticulous selection of ingredients, advanced technological processes, and extensive research and development integral to their creation. Luxury skincare brands often employ proprietary techniques and exclusive ingredients that are not utilized in more mass-market products. To dismiss these distinctions as mere marketing ploys is to ignore the substantive differences that justify their premium pricing.
Moreover, your argument that all products must undergo quality control to be approved for the market is a tautology that needs to appreciate the varying standards and rigour applied across different product categories.
While it is true that all skincare products must meet regulatory requirements, the threshold for approval does not equate to uniform quality or efficacy. Luxury products' superior craftsmanship and higher concentration of active ingredients distinguish them from their more affordable counterparts. These products are not merely "pure" in a regulatory sense but are often crafted with precision and care far exceeding the minimum standards.
The historical longevity of Nivea, originating in 1911, proves its enduring appeal and effectiveness within its market segment. However, longevity alone does not equate to superiority in all aspects of skincare. The market for skincare products is vast and varied, catering to a diverse range of needs and preferences. While Nivea has undoubtedly maintained its relevance, it occupies a niche different from high-end luxury brands. The continued success of a brand like Nivea does not diminish the value or efficacy of luxury alternatives; instead, it underscores the diversity of consumer needs and the multifaceted nature of skin care.
Also, your claim that European Union regulations ensure that products remain close to their original formulations and are of high quality is valid but negates that luxury products often go beyond regulatory compliance. They invest heavily in innovation and advanced dermatological research to deliver superior results. The richness and effectiveness of a product are not solely determined by its regulatory adherence but by its formulation, ingredient sourcing, and the expertise involved in its development.
Lastly, SORRY, NOT SORRY, but your admonition against rudeness in defending one's preference for luxury products is disregarded. Let us recognize the many inadequately educated individuals, lacking in knowledge, who aspire to be UA-cam personalities. These individuals disseminate misinformation and perpetuate a cycle of misconceptions and falsehoods. Hence, it is equally important to recognize that a robust critique of consumer choices must be grounded in factual accuracy and a deep understanding of the subject matter. The mere invocation of politeness should not serve to shield arguments from rigorous scrutiny. :)
This Nivea cream is 💩but hey it’s your life and your skin.
The German version of the cream is one of the best formulas for dry skin 😌
NO! BOYCOTT NIVEA FOR PALESTINE
This would be great if your have dry skin or a compromised skin barrier. I would use it as slugging in the winter on my cheeks
Edit you could also use it as a cold cream (as was done in the ye old days 😂) apply it to the face and neck then wipe off with a tissue/ cloth after 5 mins. Before makeup or at night.
yes! It’s perfect for slugging 😌 for sure
There is sugar In everything there is sugar In kale so definitely there is sugar in your carbs your ate. Sugar isn’t bad for your skin if it was I would be ancient looking and at almost 40 and sugar is heavy in my diet
there is a big difference in vegetable sugars and processed cookies sugar
@@irinareina true but carbs are converted into sugar in the body.
@@irinareina you are stunning by the way 💗
🤍
This was the same Nivea I used in the Middle East 😂 as a half South Korean myself we love our drug stores creams
Afghan Girls who have only used this their whole lives 🥹💅💅
