Hello everyone!
This summer's heat is intense! I feel like my skin is getting fried whenever the sun touches it. I barely go out of the house, and if I do, I make sure I will be somewhere indoors like the mall.
But recently, I've been walking/jogging with my mom every morning and there are also times that I have to be somewhere and have to be under the harsh sunlight. My uneven skin tone is currently as uneven as ever. My arms and shoulders are darker than my face and my face is darker than my legs... well, you know what I mean.
Fortunately, I've been recently going over the products inside the house and saw this bottle of lotion that Nivea sent us some months ago. It was before my sis, Trace, went to Australia. You see, when we were the ones handling Peachy Pink Sisters, she does most of the writing and also the one reviewing and using the skin care products. It has only been now that I started using such. I was just into makeup alone 'til I realized that having really good skin can make my makeup look hell of a lot better. Haha!
Anyway, I wanted to finish off most of the products to make new ones (one of the reasons we have our little blog sale too). So I started using the lotion which is the...
Nivea Extra Whitening Cell Repair & Protect Body Milk
Here are some info from their press release:
50X MORE VITAMIN C FOR HEALTHY & EXTRA FAIR SKIN
Who is it for?
For beauty seekers and modern women of today who feel that their skin is dull and sun-receptive because their life style exposes it frequently to the sun so damage & dullness accumulate. For women who want more and who want to achieve more.
What does it do?
The first whitening lotion with the power of concentrated whitening from nature. It is specially developed for the needs of Asian skin and offers concentrated whitening for extra fair and radiant skin. Its 50 x higher anti-oxidant Vitamin C concentration protects skin from the harmful effects of the sun even with frequent sun exposure.
The innovative fast absorbing formula with unique Super Fruits extracts – Camu Camu and Acerola Cherry – repair and micro-exfoliate accumulated damaged and dull skin and boost skin’s natural barrier from sun damages.
Camu Camu (Myrciaria Dubia) is a native fruit from the Amazonian rainforest that has the highest recorded amount of natural ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) than any known fruit on the planet. Compared to Lemon, it has 50x more Vitamin C power. It also has a full complement of minerals and amino acids that help the absorption of Vitamin C.
Its advanced UVA/UVB filters protect the skin from UV-rays which cause the formation of pigmentation, dark and uneven skin tone.
It also has the Beiersdorf exclusive and Nobel Prize-skin moisturizing technology Hydra IQ, that hydrates the skin from within, giving long lasting softness and smoothness for over 24 hours.
Result: Your skin is noticeably fairer and smoother so you look and feel your most beautiful!
I've been using the products for almost 3 weeks now. My skin is very moisturized. For the whitening part, I guess it is safe to say that the unevenness of the skin tone of my arms are better than what it used to look like.
I like how it smells. It's not how milk would smell (which is what I was really looking forward to - I loooove milk), but it's a very pleasant smell. I actually like the smell of most Nivea products. :P
What I really love most of all is how it feels on my skin when I apply it. It's not thick and sticky! It gets absorbed by the skin quickly so whenever I go to bed, I'm assured that the product has not been wiped off or transferred on the bed sheets but remains on my skin.
So will I be buying it? Yes. But only when I get the chance to empty some other lotions and body butters I have in-stock. Haha!
Btw, it is also available in - Whitening Cell Repair & Protect Body Milk with 40x more Vitamin C power.
It comes in different sizes too. Here's the list with the equivalent price:
So have you tried this before?
Do you like Nivea products?
What moisturizing products do you use during this summer?
Cheers!

YAY, I've always been hesitant to try this product from Nivea because it's expensive for me but after reading your review, I guess it's worth it because of the results. I might buy one. Thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteNo problem! Hope you'll like it too, Jen! :D
ReplyDeletei love NIVEA lotion! they got a new one, the UV serum !:))
ReplyDeleteReally? Have you tried it? I want it but have to finish off some products first before purchasing again. :P
ReplyDeletei also have this and i use it from time to time. :)
ReplyDeleteWould it be okay if I use this perharps during the morning? And I will be sweating from time to time though if the wheather is hot. :/
ReplyDeleteHi Germaine! I think it's all good to use it in the morning! It has UV protection! Although I haven't tried it when I'm gonna go all out exercise and be all sweaty. But if it's just an ordinary day at school or at the office, then it's all good!
ReplyDeleteI have used nivea for 22 years and to even try Made from Earth was a challenge for me but after using their Vitamin C Moisturizer - i am very happy with the results from the last 6 months! I can see a difference in the lines around my eyes, and just my skin looks and feels fresher over all. Everyone is telling me how healthy I look - Love it!
ReplyDeletemy mum dont know how to use it,me too. You didn't stated use it while bath and wash away or apply it after bath will do >.<
ReplyDeleteCan this product be used by people with eczema?
ReplyDeleteI can't answer that, sorry. I think it would be better if this question is consulted to a dermatologist. :)
DeleteDoes the lotion with Vitamin C available here in Watsons? Where to buy these lotion? Thanks and God bless. :)
ReplyDeleteI've been using this lotion for almost 5 months now. It feels good on my skin whenever I applied it, also the smell makes me sniff myself lol.

I have been using this product for about a month now. My second bottle has almost finished, but still couldn't really see any "whitening" effect on my skin. Doesn't help at all. Probably the result varies from person to person. Not satisfied, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI agree that products vary for every person. Sad to hear this product didn't work. :(
DeleteIs there a site where I can track if the product I bought is not fake tnx
ReplyDeleteI'm not really sure. I'm sorry. :(
DeleteI've been using this product for 2 weeks already. I love everything about it. The scent, how it moisturizes my skin and my uneven skin tone has already lightened. I'll purchase this again, and that's for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you like it as well! :D
DeleteI use it ...very sastified!!!!!:) LoVe how it moisturized may skin
ReplyDeleteVery Satisfied! ! Smells good and I get.my fair moisturiized skin
ReplyDeleteI have too! :) 50ml It's good. For 1 months. My body is so white and bright.... Great!
ReplyDeletei have been using this product for months now. i loooove the scent and it doesn't make me feel sticky/greasy even when sweating. The whitening effect may not be that noticeable but still lightens my uneven skin tone. If you're looking for a good moisturizing product, you should try this. :)
ReplyDeleteNivea products are really great....been using nivea hydra iq.....its from korea and i think imported nivea products are really effective....
ReplyDeleteI have nivea lotions all 400ml...dove bar soap 100g, dove shampoo all 780g, dove body wash 800ml..this are all imported from korea and prices are from php 350 and up....these are all aunthentic imported products that why the price a bit high compare to nivea and dove philippines.......pls pm if you are interested...alazeya_1315@yahoo.com.ph...
I hope you don't mind my posting here ...thank you
Hi... I am a pilipina living abroad... I am looking for some nivea whitening lotion do send products overseas?
ReplyDeleteI want to buy this where i can get in Islamabad
ReplyDeleteSorry. I'm not from Nivea and I just made a review of the product. I am not aware of the places where the product is available.
DeleteHey. May i know how to use nivea body milk? Is it just like using a lotion every after bath?. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYes. I use it pretty much like that. I use it after I take a bath in the morning and before I sleep. :)
Deleteat my city, its not avaiable , so from which site i have to order please guide, i am used this , from last three years its superb
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but I do not work for Nivea and I only reviewed this product. I do not know what stores have this. This product was just sent to me for review.
DeleteI am not too fair but with this nivea whitening lotion,will I get whiter or get lighter to any of the peachy pink sisters?
ReplyDeleteI am from Nigeria,not too fair but with this nivea whitening lotion, will I get white like the peachy pink sisters?
ReplyDeleteI guess this product can help to some extent. But there are a lot of factors when it comes to skin whitening like how much sun exposure you get everyday and the amount of SPF you apply as well. I can't really say how fairer you can get with just this product because there are more things we should consider if we aim to whiten our skin. :)
DeleteI can't find it here in korea😢
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that. I'm not aware where else this is available in. I only know that this is available in the Philippines.
DeleteHi i would like to ask whether is this product available in Singapore? i search at different retail shop but cannot seem to find this product.
ReplyDeleteHello! Sorry but I don't know where it is available in Singapore. :(
DeleteNivea's one of the most trusted brands that I know, good on you that it worked out on your uneven tones. If this proves to be an effective skin whitening lotion in the Philippines then I'm really sold. My girl's looking for one that she can use permanently and I'm relieved that it's not too pricey at all!
ReplyDeleteGreat review on this one
Thanks! Glad you found my review helpful!
