I love this product. I have combination skin and found it hard to find a cream that would properly moisturize the dry spots but not cause me to break out. This is fantastic. It is light, feels refreshing, and gives me enough moisture without making my skin oily. I normally wear a light layer of SPF BB cream on top and together they are perfect. Price is a huge bonus - especially because I shower twice a day (once before work and once after the gym) so I constantly have to moisturize. Definitely recommended.

Love is not even enough to describe that I feel toward this product, lol! I wake up every morning longing to put this stuff on, it's that amazing. I have combo skin that is prone to acne in certain areas. I used to use Control It by same brand when I was younger and my skin was oilier, but now it just won't cut it; I needed something more moisturizing. Then came aqua sensation. Everything about this cream is right;it's consistency-not too light or too heavy-creamy and invigorating, the amount of moisture ot provides-plentiful, while at the same time it never gets greasy. It doesn't irritate my skin as some other creams have, and moisturizes the drier areas of my skin while controlling oil in other areas. It also smells great. Nivea is such an underrated, yet terrific brand, and this product epitomizes just that.

First review on MUA!
The consistency is nice and smooth and feels really light on the skin. It had a nice refreshing smell to it which I really liked, but if you're not into strong fragranced moisturisers, don't get this.
It was reasonably priced for something that I liked...for a week.
Sadly, this broke me out within a week - zits all over my cheeks and forehead, and just when my previous pimples and whiteheads had started to disappear.
Has disappeared into my cupboard now :(

I love, love, love this moisturizer. I just finished the one I was using since january.. and I never broke out with it, my skin feels amazing with it on.. it smells fresh...
The only reason why I didnt repurchased it is because I need to have a rotation of product so my skin doesnt get used to a product. But I'll definetly repurchase it. :)

I just bought this one.... So I'm not sure if it's the right moisturizer for me, but I do hope so!
I have very oily skin with dry areas on the top of my cheeks (where I use my blush it gets dry with white heads... :s). I hope this moisturizer hydrates the dryer aeras and doesn't oil up the already oily areas on my face... Let's see and I will update after a while of using it.
I use aditionally a soft cleanser/face wash from nivea and the Pure and Natural Toner too... I try to cleanse my skin without drying it.

I was glad this was quite cheap as it not agree with my skin AT ALL. I t made my skin so oily, break out and also took about 2 weeks to go back to normal! :( I gave this to my friend though who has more normal - to dry skin and she loved it!

This is an alright moisturiser, if say your on a budget, or maybe on holidays need a emergency cream to get you by, you get my drift.
Its alright mosturising and jar alright. I'm using the rest on my body as the smell is really too toxic on my face, it smells quite potent to me like the smell of their sea smell body lotion range. Cheap sea smell thats alright....he he

This is a nice moisturizer. It doesn't contain any SPF which is its only drawback. But it's great for days you know you'll be mostly indoors or if you wear makeup with SPF in it.

I bought this because I was using harsh moisturizers that were more like acne medication (i.e. Clean and Clear) that led to redness and dry spots on my combo skin. This did not totally eradicate them (I still get peculiar dry spots, circular - allergic reaction?) but made them much better, not to mention there is little tightness and a dry feeling on my skin the first time I used it (months ago) till now. Products lasts forever - you need very little or you may possibly get oily. Absorbs super quickly, light, but you can feel it moisturize. Can sting/tingle slightly (eye area, extremely exfoliated skin, etc). But does its job. Impressive.

Besides dropping the jar a couple of times, the packaging is okay I just make sure my hands are clean when I dip in! Also I find that i need just a dab on my forehead and cheeks and spread it all over and that's enough, too much won't soak into my skin. It is heavily scented which I could always do without and it burns if I put it on when my face is wet, but if it's dry then I can apply it all over (even by my eyelids, ek, the jar doesn't say not to!). Overall it is a good day cream, =) O and it does work well to use under foundation, although I do wait 20 minutes before applying foundation when I am wearing it, fyi I use Revlon CS.

Quite light but very moisturising, I always buy Nivea creams. Whilst the scent can be a bit heavy and 'old lady' ish this bad boy does a brilliant job and for less than a fiver. win.

I have oily/slightly sensitive skin that is prone to small clogged pores. I bought this hoping that dehydrated skin was the problem for my excessive oily skin. After one week of using this ONLY on my cheeks, I havent noticed a dramatic difference. My face is slightly less oily, but nothing to be excited about. It does burn after rubbbing in after I have washed my face (ie.sensitive skin), for a few seconds, so i would not recommend for people with very sensitive skin. but it does hydrate quite well, and leaves a slight dewy look that is healthy. I am kind of on the fence with this one, i will continue to use it, and if i notice any breakouts from it i will update. but for now its okay, just not for very sensitive skin.

I happen to love creams that come in old fashioned glass jars, call me a loonie. This one is great, it moisturizes just enough for a winter day and not too much for a summer day. Great texture that melts in your skin in 1 minute. One of my favorite day creams.

I first got the product because St ives apricot cleanser dried my skin out like crazy. It was like 15$ for a very small amount. It did last me awhile though -i use it day & night. it moisturizes well but makes me extremely oily through out the day that i like like i dipped my face into a pan of oily literally. its disgusting. it doesnt break me out which is good because drugstore stuff break my face out. after im done i will buy another moisturizer. i might buy it again. do not really reccommend for oily/combo skin

I really like this cause it makes my skin feels so fresh! It moisurizes good and it's not to fat for my mixed skin. The price is okey. The only thing that's a little con for me is the packaging, you have to put your fingers in it every time you take it on. But, this is how it is on most face moisturizers. Anyway, i really like this and i will probably buy it again!

This is a great moisturiser if you've got oily skin, probably the best one I've found so far. And its really cheap, which is always a bonus!

It's a good product but it does no miracles. I have this moisturizer for normal/combination skin and I sure wish I had bought the one for dry skin. It moisturizes, but not much. My skin is more on the oily side but the normal version still leaves me with dry patches. It doesn't clog pores but I'm not so sure if it breaks me out, I guess it leaves my sensitive skin irritated and that doesn't help me with my acne. It does have that light gel texture which is great for oily skin, but L'oreal Pure Zone Anti Regreasing Moisturiser is more moisturizing and makes my skin less irritated. Aqua sensation tends to sting if your skin is irritated or damaged and makes my eyes burn if it gets anywhere close to my eyes. I wouldn't buy this product again, it's not very suitable for sensitive skin.

Absolute love! I had been looking for a light, night-time moisturizer for my combo/oily skin and this has been HG for me. Most moisturizers made for evening use, even when oil-free, make me break-out come morning. I will often wake up to find large red blotches, white-heads or full-blown cystic acne on my chin and forehead. Daytime moisturizers made for oily-skin were just not providing enough for me and I was beginning to get dry patches here and there, but still remaining oily in others.

This gel-cream solved the problem and I now have well-moisturized, even-toned skin with very few, if any, pimples. I use this in conjuction with a wrinkle serum and have had no adverse affects. This dries to a nice light finish, with no stickiness or residue.

The cooling sensation, along with the scent is nice. It may be a bit strong for others, but I love it!
