I was looking for a new moisturizer and this one was recommended to me while I was in the store. The biggest thing that made me decide to give it a try is that it's almost completely plant based, and doesn't test on animals.
When I first tried it I noticed it has a really nice refreshing citrus-like smell, I love it! It makes my skin feel nice and smooth, and even makes me feel a bit more energized. I've used it with a couple different face washes and toners (different brands) and it works really well with all of them. Another thing I noticed is that you only need to use a really small amount to cover your whole face.
It also works really well under make up, and feels really lightweight and natural. I love this moisturizer and am going to try other products from this line now too.

I noticed no difference when using Nivea 2-in-1 Primer.
I really wanted to like this product because I like other Nivea products that I've tried. But this one was a big miss for me. I tried using it as the moisturizer and primer (without my regular moisturizer), using it after my full regular routine (with my regular moisturizer), with and without putting on makeup afterwards. It didn't work well as a moisturizer or a primer. Maybe if they had focused on one benefit or the other they would have gotten it right?
My skin actually felt more greasy, and sooner when using this product than without it. And it didn't help even my skin tone or minimize redness either. I really tried to like this product, but it's just not for me.
Thank you Chick Adviser for giving me this product to try. No matter what the outcome, it's always fun to try something new! #GotItFree

I should start by saying I have severe chronic pain, and have a hard time finding anything (including prescriptions) that work well enough to even take the edge off my pain. When I have problems with inflammation this is one of the first things I think to use. I find it to be a lot more effective than other creams/gels I've tried and I strongly prefer it to taking more medication.
It doesn't have a strong odor, which is great (especially since I have cats who avoid me if I use any gels/creams with strong smells). However it leaves a residue on your skin, especially if you use a lot of it, which can start feeling sticky if you don't wipe/wash it off after a few hours. But it's not as bad as some other gels I've tried, and the pain relief I get from it is definitely worth a bit of residue on my skin.
This gel is mostly meant to help with inflammation and isn't really effective unless inflammation is part of what's causing your pain.
If you have both muscle tension and inflammation, you can apply the gel then put a heating pad over the area as well. I've found that heat helps the gel get deeper into your tissues and work better.

I've been using this product and other products in this line for about 15 years now. I sometimes try other products/brands, but always seem to come back to this.
My skin is combination normal/oily and is not sensitive. I don't think Tea Tree would be the best choice if you have sensitive skin. Before I started using it I had really oily skin and my skin would be constantly breaking out. Within a week of using this skincare line my acne cleared up and my skin became way less oily.
I've had issues with some brands that after using them for a while they start to become less effective. Others react badly if you use a different product with them. I haven't had either of these problems happen with the Tea Tree skincare line. (I've been using this cleanser with Vichy moisturizers with no reaction)
You also really don't need to use a lot, so it lasts a really long time.

Now I know these products are marketed towards teenagers, and are generally thought of as a teen-aged product. I started using it when I was in my young teens. As I started getting older, I kept trying out other brands looking for something that would keep my lips feeling soft and moisturized. (I should confess I'm pretty much addicted to lip balm)
I could NOT find anything that worked even close to as well as Lip Smackers. It really does keep my lips soft and keeps them feeling moisturized. I like the vanilla flavour because it has a lighter flavour than most others and isn't dyed. (the Cotton Candy flavour is great also).
It's also way less expensive than some of the other, less effective, brands I've tried.
This is a product I can't live without. No matter what you're using now, you should try Lip Smackers and see for yourself how much better it works.

Belcam Bath Therapy Aromatherapy Mint & Rosemary

This is one of the best bath products I've ever tried. It's 3-in1 bubble bath, body wash, and shampoo and it works great for as all three!
What I love it for most is bubble baths. It makes so many more bubbles than anything else I've ever tried, and the bubbles really last. I don't have a deep tub, so some of my legs and shoulders are always out of the water and get cold. With this bubble bath it's no longer a problem. I can make so many bubbles that it covers my whole body and keeps me warm and relaxed.
It also works great at cleansing your skin. After soaking in it my skin feels clean and really soft.
I've even used it on my hair and it cleans my hair without leaving it dried out or leaving residue behind.
On top of all that it has a really nice fresh scent and is one of the more natural options out there. It doesn't contain Parabens, Phthalates, Propylene Glycol, or artificial colours.
If you can believe it, with how many wonderful things there are about it, it's even one of the least expensive bubble baths I've found. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys taking baths!

I was given 5 #NiveaMustHaves to try and actually liked all of them except the Nivea Creme itself. The creme has a nice scent that is light and smells refreshing, just like all of their other products I tried. Unfortunately that was the only thing I liked about it.
This Creme feels really thick and heavy. It feels like I've put layers of product on my skin instead of just a creme. I tried using for my face, for just my hands, and for parts of my body that needed some extra moisture so I could see if I would like using it in one area more than another. But even on the more dry areas of my skin, it felt too thick and heavy. On top of that it also makes my skin feel oily and sticky.
I won't use the Nivea Creme itself again, but I did really love all of their other products that I tried. I will definitely buy the rest of their products in the future!

I've never used an All-In-One Cleansing Lotion before, so I don't have anything to compare to. But I did really like this one by Nivea. The first time I used it I was impressed by how effective it is, and how easy it is to use. It removed dead skin and residue from my pores that I didn't even know was there.
I was a little nervous to use it on my eyes, but because the directions say to apply it to your eyes as well, I did. It is incredibly gentle on my eyes. It didn't sting or dry them out, and they even felt refreshed afterwards.
I had forgotten to buy cotton pads, so I just used a couple squares of toilet paper to wipe it off my face afterwards, and it actually worked really well.
After using it my skin felt clean, refreshed, and moisturized. Like the bottle says, it really is an all-in-one.
In the end I don't think it was any faster than washing my face using a normal cleanser and moisturizer, but it was easier and I like how it makes my skin feel.

I was pleasantly surprised by this deodorant. It has such a light scent, which is great, but made me worry that it might not work throughout the whole day, especially if I was sweating at any point.
It proved my worries wrong! It lasted through the day and was still lasting when I woke up the next morning. On top of that it doesn't feel sticky and it washes off easily.
I will definitely buy this product in the future!

I LOVE these wipes! They have a really nice light scent, that you hardly notice. They definitely make my skin feel clean after using them. Some wipes can make your skin feel greasy or sticky, or a few hours after using them your skin starts feeling oilier than usual. That doesn't happen to me with these wipes. My skin ends up looking less shiny than usual and feeling soft and smooth, like I've already put lotion on them. That's part of what makes me like them so much.
This product is a new necessity for me. I have chronic pain, and have a really hard time keeping up with washing my face as often as I used to. But with these wipes, that's no longer an issue for me. If I'm not able to stand long enough to wash my face normally, they do an incredible job of cleaning my face and my skin feels great afterwards!
Thank you Chick Advisor for giving me this product to try!
