I'm kind of surprised I haven't used Nivea deodorant before, and I'm glad I got the opportunity to do so! Some antiperspirants/deodorants can cause irritation on my underarms, and I'm pleased to report Nivea's didn't. This deo has the same classic Nivea scent, and it goes on smoothly without residue. It is mild yet still effective at keeping sweat at bay.
I haven't tested the 48 hour claim, but this deo has at least lasted throughout the day which meets my needs!

Nivea's Cleansing Wipes are, to me, just average. I thought they would be more softening due to the "Creme Care" aspect, but they didn't really do much besides removing makeup. They are a drier wipe too, while I prefer more moist ones.
They removed makeup fairly well, but I've had other wipes remove more and you'll probably need a separate remover for waterproof makeup.
Overall, these wipes aren't terrible but they aren't great either. I'd recommend them only if they go on sale.

Nivea's Facial Cleansing Lotion is a great option for makeup removal. Sometimes liquid makeup removers leave my skin tight and dry, so this lotion is a great alternative. It has the classic Nivea scent, has a thinner lotion consistency, and removes makeup well. It also leaves my face soft.
I definitely recommend trying this product out, whether or not you've tried cleansing lotions before. It's super easy to use -- apply to face, wipe off with or without water -- and is gentle and effective.

Nivea Creme seems like one of those ubiquitous products most households would have for use by just about anyone. It's been around since 1911 so you've probably seen or used it before!
Nivea Creme is very thick and dense, with a classic soap/face cream scent. It can apparently be used all over, from hands to body to face. I enjoy it most as a body cream, and I was surprised to find it soaks into skin faster than I expected for such a thick formula. I've also tried using it on my cuticles/nails, and it's not my favourite for that (I prefer oils/thick butters), but it works decently. I didn't try using it on my face as I'd already dipped my fingers in the pot and I didn't want to cross-contaminate.
I think Nivea Creme has a pretty good, basic formula that would appeal to most people. I can definitely see putting a tub of it in the bathroom for use by the whole family and any guests.
Note there is a difference between the North American and European formulas -- it appears we have the Euro version in Canada (or at least that's what I received from ChickAdvisor). The Euro version looks to be a better formula than the NA one.

Nivea's Essential Lip Balm has a great formula at a great price, and I think it is perfect for the upcoming cooler months!
The lip balm has a thicker formula consisting of various waxes and moisturizing ingredients like shea butter and jojoba oil. There's a light vanilla fragrance/flavour, and the tube is a basic white with navy cap. I think this -- along with the price -- makes it suitable for anyone of any age or gender (though note it's not vegan-friendly as there is beeswax in the formula).
I can be picky with my lip balms, and usually basic, inexpensive ones like this don't hit my mark, but Nivea's Essential formula is definitely pleasing. I love how it's thick, long-lasting, and doesn't have too strong of a fragrance. Do check this one out!

(I received this product for free through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.)
This is a nice, gentle scrub, with skin softening ingredients like shea butter. I was pleased to see the exfoliating agent used is jojoba beads as opposed to ocean-harming plastic microbeads! Because it's so gentle, you may not have as thorough exfoliation as you want. I use a chemical exfoliant in my skincare routine, so this scrub is fine for my combo/oily skin.
This does have added fragrance which gives it a pleasing aqua-like scent, which isn't cloying but might irritating for sensitive skin.
All in all, Vichy's Skin Renewing Creamy Scrub is a good pick for those looking for a gentler scrub, though note it is a bit expensive.

(I received this product for free through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.)
This is a great, basic cleanser which should work for many people. I have combo/oily skin so it didn't dry it out and it cleansed my face well. It has a convenient pump dispenser, plus you can turn it to lock it. It does have an aqua scent due to the added fragrance, so be aware of that if you're sensitive to scents. It isn't too cloying, however.
The reason why I'm not giving this product a higher rating is due to the fact that it is fairly basic (to me), and basic cleansers are fairly easy to find at a lower price point. If you're looking to try a Vichy product/cleanser though, this is definitely a good one to check out.

(I received this product for free through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.)
This makeup remover took off almost all of my eye makeup in one swipe of a soaked cotton pad. With other removers, I have to go back to remove excess eyeliner and mascara, but Vichy's left hardly any remnants. It doesn't sting my eyes, and it also works great as an all-over face makeup remover too. It is more expensive than some other makeup removers, but I think it's well worth it!

(I received this product free as part of ChickAdvisor's Product Review Club.)
I love dry shampoo, and previously my favourite has been Batiste's. Dove's dry shampoo works just as well as Batiste's and is cheaper for a bit more product! I also love the fruity scent. It sprays white, which is easy for me to blend in my light blonde hair, but it might be more difficult for those with darker hair.
I'm thrilled to have found a cheap and effective dry shampoo. I usually wash my hair a day or two after using dry shampoo, but it still looks great in that time. It's also easy to wash out and doesn't leave any residue behind.
I definitely recommend trying Dove's Dry Shampoo, especially if you've tried and liked Batiste!
