I cannot call myself the ardent fan of this German brand: something is pleasant, and something – not really. But shower gel from Nivea on the shelf in my bathroom was not long ago. I bought it in Magnit-kosmetik network for a little inflated price in 136 rubles for 250 ml. To tell the truth, marked at first on gels from Le Petit Marseillais which wanted to try long ago and they cost cheaper. But it is difficult to argue with female logic … Especially gel from the French firm with tropical aroma did not appear, and soul demanded some fruit!
The form and design of a bottle of gel from Nivea were pleasant to me at once though in them there is nothing unusual or excentric. Everything is simple, stylish and clear. Only color of a background changed. I remember, last time, when I bought shower gel of this firm, the bottle was saturated blue shade, like a logo background. There is a wish to put a plus for a convenient lid at once – my New Year's Eve manicure with it will definitely not suffer. The bottle is rounded accurately off, but at the same time it does not slip out hands and well finds room in a palm.
In the foreground the name of means "The pleasure moments" under which – the beautiful and appetizing picture with a segment of an exotic carambola in "cradle" from cream appears rather large green and blue font. Combination, quite unusual to me. Below the image it is registered that it is not just gel, and cream-gel with addition of a milk of an aloe belief and aromas of tropical fruit.
The description of means with promises of good mood, awakening of feelings and gentle care of skin on the back of a bottle was pleasant to me. Plus to everything is available an important mark: "it pH-is balanced and dermatological it is tested". So – should not irritate the skin though to owners of sensitive skin I would advise to be more careful – after all tropical fruit in structure.
One more important factor and counter of the Nivea company – the special moistening formula Hydra IQ "for absolutely gentle skin for a long time". Is very seductive!
But the beginning of the list of components as a part of me what did not surprise with: on the first place water, and then notorious SLS (as without foam?). Among natural, vegetable components found three: oil of stones of sweet almonds, castor oil and powder of an aloe belief (but not extract). Unfortunately, no extracts from tropical fruit are revealed – further there is a continuous chemistry. Therefore to fans of organic chemistry this means will hardly attract. There is also a limonene and citronellol in structure – all of them are responsible for aroma - very pleasant, gentle, tropical. To it there is a wish to plunge and run away from this cold and gloomy winter literally.
On consistence – quite thin and snow-white – means reminds more gel, than cream. But well foams even from several drops therefore earns plus for economy. It is washed away a little longer than usual gels – after all cream-gel moreover and with a milk. I still wait for minute that means was absorbed in skin.
After its application it is pleasant to run over skin a hand: it becomes smooth, soft, gentle, even velvety. However, as well as it was promised producers. The refreshing aroma of gel on a body keeps long enough, becoming more and more gently and more naturally. Thanks to the exotic, invigorating smell the mood really improves and, having closed eyes, there is a wish to present that you take a shower under falls on the forgotten island. So safely I recommend this means!
