I guess that I was using this product the wrong time of year. I know other people that use this product and have fallen in love with it. I will try this product again in the winter time to see how well it work's.
I received the new Nivea 2 in 1 Moisturizing Primer as a sample from Chick Advisor. I was a bit confused as to whether this would be used directly under makeup or as a primer under moisturizer. Living in Canada this would not be enough to moisturize my skin in the winter, so I do not believe that I got the "primer" benefits for my makeup. Might be good for somebody who is not prone to dry skin, or for use in the summer! I did feel that it added an extra layer to my skin and helped seal in my moisture after washing my face. Nice cooling sensation as well.
For the first couple of days it actually felt tight on my skin even though it's specifically for dry skin but after a few days it had a nice smooth matte feel to it. I'm a bit more concerned with fine lines than a 2 in 1 primer and after a couple of weeks don't see any improvement on that front. Not a bad product at all but not amazing either.
I found this primer to be a bit more perfumed than I enjoy. It is a sort of gel consistency that dries down to a sticky base. While this is great for moisturizing, it sometimes made putting makeup over it a little difficult. I really have to let it dry down and that takes some time.
Because there are so many other great primers out there, I probably wouldn't repurchase this. It was just "ok".
#gotitfree This moisturizing primer applied nicely and absorbed easily into the skin. However, I personally prefer using a separate moisturizer and separate primer. With having dry skin, I did not find that this product gave me the moisture that my skin needs and actually made my skin feel drier. Plus I found the scent of this product a bit too strong for me.
Thank you, ChickAdvisors Product Review Club for letting me to try and review for free 'Nivea 2 in 1 Moisturinzing Primer for Dry to Sensitive skin'.
I like the consistency of this primer, like a thin moisturizer . It absorbs fast and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. But I'm very sensitive to smells and this product has a really strong perfume smell.
Wish NIVEA will address this, since a lot of people suffer now form allergies.
I used the primer daily for about two weeks and had to stop. The scent was too strong.
Sorry, but I would not buy this product.
#cadeau Je l'ai reçu via ChickAdvisor et j'étais bien contente de l'essayer. La crème est très intéressante et efficace, mais le parfum est très intense! Il a fallu que j'aille me laver le visage durant l'heure du midi parce que je n'étais plus capable de l'odeur. Juste pour ça, je ne l'achèterais pas cependant. En regardant les ingrédients, c'est un peu épeurant de voir tout ce chimique.
It felt kind of sticky after applied, like when you put on aloe for a sunburn. It didn't hydrate like I expected it to compared the last gel type moisturizer I used.
I got this product for free to test and review from chickadvisor. I really wish I would love this product but for its intended purpose I find it ineffective. I love using it as a moisturizer because it smells great and feels nice on my skin. Once I applied makeup on top it looked great in the beggining. The finish was nice and flawless and it hydrated my skin so the makeup looked natural. After and hour or so, I started seeing little round specks on my makeup. It looked like water had sprayed on my my face. I continually use it as a moisturizer but only when I'm going makeup free. It's great when you are going to the gym. #gotitfree
In last snow season, my forehead turned very dry and itchy. I bought it on sale. I like the silky feel of it. It seems calm down the itch on my forehead but it does not give me sufficient moisture. I need to put it on every 2 to 3 hours. I didn't see any improvement for my face. I used it on my neck after one and half of a month.
