Are you referring to future "longer" videos? 🤔 Because that is not the purpose of a tutorial, I show how people can use the cream. I mean, you are not looking for a cooking recipe and want to know all the details about every single ingredient 😉 Furthermore, it is impossible to do that because we need to know the exact % used for each ingredient.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial yes the longer videos Haha true not a cooking recepie but we need to know what is going on our face. It's important to know the inkey list and as you have knowledge I suggested that you can share your experiences with us too

To really know this, we need some actual trials, but nobody cares. And the people that do have no money 😅 I can only tell what is written in the book if I talk about the ingredients; therefore, I never do.

What would you like to do? There are better alternatives, especially for dry teenage skin. I would suggest something like CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion or G&G Happy Barrier.

If you have dry skin, sure! :)

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Yes, I have dry skin. Thank you so much Melissa! 💙

Nivea cream is not specifically designed to remove makeup, although it can be used for this purpose. It is true that Nivea cream is oil-based, which can help dissolve makeup, particularly if it's waterproof or long-lasting. However, using a cream-based product to remove makeup may not be as effective as using a dedicated makeup remover or cleanser, which are formulated to break down makeup and impurities more thoroughly. In addition, some creams, including Nivea, may contain ingredients that can clog pores and cause breakouts if left on the skin for too long. I suggest using a cleansing oil or balm instead, such as The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser, G&G Mighty Melt Cleansing Balm, or Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Wow thank you so much for the help ❤️ You're so kind

@@vintagecherries

I recommend getting a new one! :)

Can i not use it anymore? 🥺 Nivea is very expensive here

​@@dwerfism1910 Yes, but if the texture changes and some of the tap water still remains inside, it may get moldy over time.

This cream is personally too rich for me. However, if you have dry skin, it can work. It also depends on what your skin is sensitive to, so it's difficult to say definitively whether you can use it or not.

It's not suitable for dry, acne-prone skin. I would recommend using a product like CeraVe Facial Lotion instead.

No. Look into Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide. However, if such treatments still do not work for your acne, you may want to look into the root cause, which often originates from within your body. I recommend checking out my community tab for more information.

You can use it, but what does your routine look like? It may not be the best cream for layering.

I think that combination is not ideal, since the cream is too thick. I would rather opt for something more lightweight, such as CeraVe lotion or maybe even their cream. However, if you do apply it afterward, give the Azelaic Acid or the Salicylic Acid a few minutes in between applications so that they do not interact, ensuring you get all the benefits.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you so much for your suggestion... Lot's of love❤️

Consultant with a dermatologist..but you can use neem haldi and alovera pack for 30 to 40 min..rose toner and drink lots of water..skip oily food, sugar and oil your hair only before shampoo for 30 min❤

You could use it on the drier areas, but avoid applying it to the oilier parts, as it might be too heavy for those areas.

Hey! :) Yes, that one is fine! :)

Yeah, this may work too. I prefer to pat the skin dry before applying any other skincare products.

no, it is too heavy.

Try cruelty3 products👍🏽no testing on animals, bunny logo lots to chose from

no its too heavy, use a moisturising gel.

No, it's way too rich.

I think you may not really need it, unless it's during winter and the weather is harsh enough to require that layer of protection. But I would rather opt for a light gel such as The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan, or even just an Aloe Vera Gel.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial ok thank you sm:⁠-⁠)

The skin on your eyelids is thin, delicate, and highly sensitive compared to the skin on the rest of your face. Therefore, using skincare products that are not specifically designed for the eye area can cause irritation, redness, swelling, and even damage to your eyes.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial oh, is it ok if i use it on my eyes, beacuse i have had no reaction? Or is it a bad thing and i should stop?? Thank you for youre comment it really help 😁

@@dicedchesse3289 Well, if it works, but generally, it can cause sensitivities over time. Therefore, it is not a recommended practice. There are products developed for the eye area/lids that undergo tests or use ingredients meant for that area. These products are unlikely to cause irritation, and that is usually the way to go.

I put Nivea cream around my eyes every night before bed to avoid wrinkles and it works. I ve been doing this since my 16

Sometimes I also switch to Vaseline and it does the same iob . I just can't live without Nivea and Vaseline lol

I wouldn't recommend using it with sunscreen at all, as it's far too occlusive (rich), which could prevent the sunscreen from blending well. Instead, opt for a lighter formulation like CeraVe facial lotion or consider using a more hydrating sunscreen.

I used Neutrogena Hydroo Boost Water Gel Cleanser :)

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank🌹

Well, it's highly occlusive, so it's definitely not suitable for breakout-prone skin. In any case, ensure you wash your face thoroughly before applying it. It's designed for dry to very dry skin. If you have oily skin, consider using a gel, perhaps something like 'The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan'.

Yes, though I'm not sure if it layers well since it's a very thick cream.

That's the question, isn't it? Personally, I wouldn't recommend doing that. As you correctly pointed out, it's very thick. If you're looking for a moisturizer, you might consider the Nivea Soft range. However, if you have the right sunscreen for your skin type, you typically shouldn't need an additional moisturizer.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thanks a ton

U can..u should ❤

It's way too rich. I would use something lighter, like a gel, gel-cream, or lotion-like moisturizer. :)

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial ok tysm

Hmm, it has a lot of fragrance. Therefore, I would suggest using a fragrance-free moisturizer, such as CeraVe Lotion or Cream.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial tysm 💕

no

morning, evening or whenever you feel the need :)

Really? For me it helped get rid of acne

@@3_virgentlemen664 This lady has acne and using this cream doesn't appear to be making it better.

@@janegardener1662 well I use Sulfur soap in the morning and night and I mix it with aveeno clear complexion too morning and night, and I apply that cream morning and night and my face is clearer than your life

​@@janegardener1662she doesn't use it so obviously it would not make her acne better she is simply demonstrating how to use it

It's too heavy, so I would not use it afterwards. Look for something lightweight. What Moisturizer to use for the Face? kzfaq.infob3fHNKxb2aA

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial ok but it's not affordable I use nivea Cream it's feel not heavy bcoz I have dry skin in winter can I use it

@@Minitolambiya12 I think it's not suitable for that purpose, but you can try it and see how it goes.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial ok thnq so much

I also no longer use Nivea products. However, I do use the body sunscreen when I go to the beach, as the fragrance reminds me of holidays. But in general, I prefer fragrance-free products that are specifically targeted to meet my needs.

Nivea cream is not specifically formulated for the delicate and sensitive skin around the eyes, which could lead to irritation or adverse reactions. Additionally, the cream's thickness may cause it to migrate into the eyes, causing discomfort or potential harm.

So, stop using the cream :)

where are you from? 🤔

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial U.S

Okay, that does make it difficult, but hopefully, someone here reading this can help you 🙃.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial ty. I've read the ones being sold here are very watered down

I know that the US version is different from the German one.

It's meant for dry to very dry skin😉 I don't think that it causes problems when used on the correct skin type, and it's important to properly wash it off to avoid pore clogging.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial oh wow🥰thank youu

Hello does Nivea cream hydrate oily skin type too?, I have oily skin in my t zone and I get irritated on my nose like I get acne only in my nose

I'm having second thoughts like should I use the Cetaphil moisturizing lotion/cream or use the Nivea cream

Is it okay to use a different gentle cleanser and use the Nivea cream?

Yes :)

Lactic acid is often used in skincare formulations to help balance the pH level of the product, which can enhance its stability and effectiveness. In this case, the lactic acid in the Nivea cream is not intended to exfoliate or provide significant skin benefits but rather to optimize the product's formulation. Therefore, using the Nivea Face and Body Cream after applying retinol should not cause any issues related to the combination of retinol and lactic acid.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you so much for replying ❤👍

You can use it whenever you feel the need for extra hydration. So, if your skin feels dry, you can use it.

hmm, no, why would it 🤔?

No, I recommend using something more lightweight. What's your skin type and what skincare products do you currently use?

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficialMy skin is oily in summer but dry in winter. I am currently using cerave dry to very dry moisturizer and cerave cream to foam cleanser. I don't use sunscreen because I wear a niqab(mask) and use an umbrella when go out. I can't get rid of the close comedense problem at all. :'(

I think the moisturizer is too rich for you. Instead, I recommend using a Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser (4-5%) in the morning. Afterward, follow it up with a hydrating toner or serum. If you still feel the need, you can apply a moisturizer on top. Some options include The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel, or Geek & Gorgeous Hydration Station. For the evening, use your CeraVe Cream to Foam Cleanser, and then follow it with your hydrating toner, serum, and/or moisturizer. Using Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide should help reduce your closed comedones.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you very much for suggesting these skin care products. Take love sis 💗

Using Nivea Cream or similar products on the eyelids is not recommended due to the sensitivity of the eye area. The cream may contain ingredients that can irritate the eyes, potentially causing discomfort, redness, or even allergic reactions. It's best to use specialized eye creams or gels designed for the delicate skin around the eyes to ensure safety and minimize the risk of irritation.

It may be too heavy for your skin and not really needed, so what is your skin type? But also, the weather here is different, so there are many factors to consider.

@Melissa Van Dijk I have a combination type of skin but I also have mild seborrheic dermatitis so I find the need to apply this cream as my makeup doesn't cakeup or else if I only apply a Cera Ve moisturizer, my makeup creases. Also the weather where I am rn is totally different from where I used to be

@@applepiersquare2071 Yes, and for how long have you been in Europe? Sometimes, the skin needs a few weeks to adjust to the climate. So, if it was very recently, it may just be the change, and it will likely become better very soon.

@Melissa Van Dijk well it's been 2 months since I moved here, and these days it's very cold here, coming from someone who has seen 40° C back in Pakistan. 😂

@Melissa Van Dijk and yes my skin has been acting up since I moved here, so I started on with la roche posay effaclar duo, specifically for my acne breakouts which I never experienced before

Applying Nivea blue cream to the eyelids is best avoided because the skin around the eyes is delicate and sensitive. The cream's thick consistency and fragrance can cause irritation, potentially clog oil glands, lead to milia formation, and migrate into the eyes causing discomfort.

Yes, it could be that it is too rich for your skin. In that case, I would recommend avoiding it. Instead, if you are looking for a moisturizer, opt for a lightweight formulation such as Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel or Gel-Cream. These products provide hydration without feeling heavy on the skin.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial la Roche Posay Cicaplast best for me thanks a lot💙🌈

@@2024nevtu Are you using it, or are you asking me about it?

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial no l am useing thank a lot 💙🌈

@@2024nevtu okay and does it work? 🤔

what do you mean by that? 🤔

🙃

Nivea Original Cream is not specifically formulated for skin whitening and does not contain any active ingredients known to have skin whitening properties. The main function of Nivea Original Cream is to provide hydration and moisture to the skin. If you're looking to lighten or brighten your skin, there are other products available that are specifically formulated for this purpose, such as skin-lightening creams or serums that contain ingredients vitamin C, or niacinamide. It's also worth noting that skin color is largely determined by genetics and sun exposure, and trying to change your skin color through topical treatments may not be effective or safe. It's always best to focus on maintaining healthy skin through a balanced diet, regular exercise, and a consistent skincare routine that includes sun protection and hydration.

No, using regular towels will not cause more pimples if you wash them regularly. However, if you do not have the means to do that, you could definitely use disposable paper towels instead.

hmm, no why would I 🤔?

Because the cream is usually hard, it's not soft like lotion. I know you warned it up with your hands but from my experience it's always been rougher than lotions. That's my opinion

@@thesigmamale0001 hmm, yes, it is because it is such a heavy cream containing mineral oils. So your lotion will have a much lighter texture.

It just depends on your personal skin sensitivities.

🧐

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial does is bleach or no

@@thumumy6424 no

Especially if you have oily skin that is not cleansed properly, I recommend using it only for very dry, cracked skin.

🙈

how are you doing? 🧐

For what skin concerns?

I am curious, but how else would you do it? 🤔

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Do What? Buy vegan products with bunny symbol no testing or animal ingredients 🐰

@@ceolbeats7182 And how do you think these ingredients/products have been tested before? 🤔😉

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Many brands have stopped testing& using animal products, even large corporations realise animal testing is cruel & Ppl are refusing to use them preferring natural brands which there are many to chose from🤷🏽‍♀️

@@ceolbeats7182 While I support companies not testing on animals, it's important to be realistic and consider the contributions of those that have conducted animal testing in the past. Their research has helped develop effective and safe products, laying the foundation for newer brands to build upon. Consequently, these brands may not test their own products on animals, but the ingredients used have likely been tested on animals in the past. Still, some of them are now misleading their audience and trying to profit from it because people are not aware of this history.

The skin on your eyelids is the thinnest and most sensitive, making it susceptible to irritation from harsh skincare products. Additionally, these products, if they accidentally enter the eyes, can cause discomfort or damage. Therefore, it's advised to avoid applying certain skincare products, particularly those with active ingredients or fragrances, directly on your eyelids. Instead, use products specially formulated for the eye area, which are usually gentler and hypoallergenic.

Ok, so don't use it.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial no one should use this harmful sh*t

Ok.
