A little while ago, I was chosen for a Chick Advisor Product Review Club campaign and sent some amazing Nivea firming products – the firming body lotion and firming body oil. First of all, I was impressed to see full size products show up in my mail box, and second, I was excited to see how they would hold up to the “firming” promise.
Nivea Firming Body Lotion
What I liked
This lotion is great for light moisture (think summer months). It applies quickly and smells good. The bottle is also huge!
What I didn’t like
To be honest, this lotion isn’t my favourite. It’s very thin and doesn’t seem to absorb well. I found it to be incredibly greasy, and saw no firming results. I wish I had better things to say about this product, but it was a let down.
Final Thoughts
I was disappointed both with application and results, which is always unfortunate. I wouldn’t purchase this product again, but I wonder if this is just because I prefer thicker body butter type products.
Nivea Firming Body Oil
What I liked
This body oil feels so good! It applies easily, absorbs super quickly, and actually left my skin feeling less oily than the lotion did. I saw a noticeable difference in the softness of my skin, and even a little glow.
What I didn’t like
The only negative thing I can say about this body oil is that I wish the bottle had a pump dispenser. Because the top only has a hole, the liquid tends to come out very quickly, which I found to be a bit wasteful.
Final thoughts
I love this body oil and will definitely be purchasing it again. Unfortunately, I saw no firming results at all and to be fair, I didn’t really expect any. Regardless, my skin felt and looked much healthier.
