Experts say that Nivea Crème is an excellent body lotion, especially for those with extremely dry skin. Reviewers claim that it is very thick, but absorbs quickly. Some consumers at MakeupAlley.com and Drugstore.com say that it is so thick, in fact, that it doesn't mix well with water. They don't recommend applying it immediately after a shower. A few consumers use it all over their body, including their face, but others suggest that Nivea Crème is better suited for body than facial skin. If you're looking for something more lightweight, Olay Age Transform Body Crème Serum (*est. $9/10.1 oz.) is much more sheer and also highly rated.

We found the best review of Nivea Crème in a Marie Claire article. This article doesn't compare specific products but does suggest that body lotion does not have to be expensive to be effective. The author recommends Nivea Crème as the "best on the market." Good Housekeeping also lists Nivea Crème as a good buy and consumers at MakeupAlley.com and Drugstore.com seem to corroborate that by giving the cream high ratings.
