One of my friend's recommended this creme to me, since I tend to get very dry skin, especially in the winter.

My first problem with this was the thickness of this cream. I'm not a fan of very runny lotions, and do look for creams that are a bit thick, unfortunately with the Nivea Creme, it was beyond thick. I found that when applying it, it was hard to rub in to my skin, as well in order to moisturize my entire hand I had to apply more of the lotion in different spots, as it did not spread very well.

Secondly, I found that it left my hands a tad bit greasy, in the places I did manage to apply the creme. As I work in an office, this is nuisance for me, as I find my keyboard and mouse with spots of grease on them after using the lotion. I also somewhat assume that these grease spots are my lotion wearing away, because it does not last long. I find that before long my hands are once more dry.

My last complaint about this lotion isn't too big of a deal, I'm just not a fan of the scent. It's a very light perfume/baby powder scent. It's not that strong...just not one I really like. I guess with scent though, that's subjective.

Thankfully I bought a small trial size of this for about $2, before spending more money on something larger.
