This stuff was better than I expected. It has a very soft consistency and smells fresh. What I like best about it is that it absorbs into my skin quickly and makes it feel smooth and silky. I also like the fact that it's cheap! Will definitely purchase again. I only wish it came in a bigger tub.

Love this stuff! Very moisturizing and quick-absorbing, without being heavy or greasy. Nice clean,crisp scent. I've been a fan of this since I started living in Europe and am thrilled that they finally have it in the US.

I went to the store to get this cream because of the great reviews on here and I am in LOVE! This cream is just wonderful. It comes in this cute little tub and it is sealed for freshness. The cream is reasonably rich, not as thich as the Bath and Baby creams, but it absorbs quick. The scent is just great. I use this on my body, I don't think I would use it on my face or at least I haven't tried but it is a great body cream. I would definitely buy this over and over again. Thanks for the great reviews guys.

This truly does feel "soft" on skin - so much nicer than traditional lotion. Nivea soft absorbs into skin quickly and keeps it nice and moisturized. My only complaint is that I used it up pretty quickly - it seems like I use more of this than traditional lotion. But it's worth it - love the light smell, too!

I love the texture of this cream and that it leaves my skin feeling so soft, but I just can't stand the smell! I don't know if I'd buy it again.

OMG. This is the best stuff ever. I have been using this for 4 days now and my skin is much softer than before. This is a creme, which makes me think heavy...but Nivea Soft is a lighter texture...and doesn't feel greasy at all. Smells fresh and not overpowering at all. Cute tub too. Size is kind of small, but I only need a small amount of this. Will certainly rebuy.

I fell in love with this stuff when I was in Europe and was so depressed when I came back to the states that it wasn't sold here. I was so thrilled when they started selling it here. It's not thick like the original, but it mousturizes just as well. It soaks in really fast, and doesn't leave any residue. It has a nice smell but it is not overwhelming. I will defenitally repurchase.

Love the texture and it smells nice, but it left my skin feeling greasy and just wasn't what I was looking for. For me, my favorite lotion is Johnson's SoftLotion. It moisturizes wonderfully and smells soooo good. I'm glad I tried it, but I'll stick with my HG! :)

I was thrilled to see this in the store. It is my favorite Nivea product mostly because of the scent and souffle-like texture. The scent is european. What I mean is after travelling to Europe several times, I noticed a big difference in product scents and textures. What's marketed over there isn't usually sold here. What's manufactured here has a noticiably different scent. This product has that "european" scent which is fresh and fabulous. I know to some this may not make any sense but if you ever go to Paris, visit Monoprix, YR, BHV or Sephora and you'll notice.

I love everything about this lotion, it's great for the whole body, it has such a fluffy texture that it absorbs quickly, so you don't have to worry about your clothes clinging to you. However, if you have sensitive skin, I wouldn't use it on the face, perhaps because of the oils in it, or the fragrance (which is lovely and not overpowering, unless you've got a really sensitive sniffer!) but it's wonderful for the body, and it's very affordable. Will definitely repurchase.

This is my HG moisturizer. I think it has such a nice smell to it and it moisturizes very well. It spreads nicely and absorbs quickly, and has a very light fluffy texture. Also, a little goes a long way. I can't say enough good things about this moisturizer, will repurchase over and over again.

Well, this is better as a body moisturizer than the regular Nivea creme, mostly b/c it's not as thick and gooey (and thus, not as hard to rub in and not as slow to absorb fully). Texture is wonderful--like whipped cream or mousse. Scent is more tolerable than that of the regular creme (I still don't like it very much as I'm not a fan of floral/powdery scents). Price is fine (about $6) though a bit steep if you use this all over your body, since you can get more lotion for less with Jergens or Curel. The packaging (a white plastic tub) is also sorta crappy-looking. Didn't do any wonders for my skin, but this is an decent moisturizer. Will likely not repurchase after I use up my tub since I don't enjoy the scent of this so much.

I like the Nivea Creme in the tin, but thought I'd give this a try. Nivea Soft is lighter and a tad less greasy, which makes it easier to spread and faster-absorbing. I wash my hands regularly for work, so hand creme is a must. This keeps my hands nicely moisturized, the scent is light and fresh, and the small round tub is compact and inexpensive ($0.99 USD). The only thing I don't really like is the screw top, which I fumble with a bit sometimes, but I would repurchase it.

I have this in the tube form. It's great- nice soft hands, and that nice Nivea scent. This lotion is thick and absorbs quickly. What more could you ask for? Love this!

very nice. i ran out of my usual moisturizer before my paycheck came in (ack!), so i bought a small trial/travel size from walgreens for $1. this ended up being very nice to my skin. i didn't notice any strong perfume scent like others mentioned. plus it soaks right into your skin. :)

I really love this body moisturizing cream. It has a whipped texture, and feels light to the tough- and has a nice fresh scent. Its become my staple after-shower moisturizer. I highly recommend trying it. The white plastic jar it comes in lasts quite a while, and its a great value for the money!

This moisturizer is well packaged, although the tube cracks after you squeeze it too many times. I didn't like the formula though. It seemed to make me break out, I didn't like the smell, and the second ingredient is myristyl alcohol.

I use it as a body cream. It goes on nice with out being greasy. The only complaint I have is that I don't like the smell. I does disipate quickly otherwise a nice inexpensive product.

I saw this in a trial-size adorable screw-top plastic tin at Walgreens for $0.99, and bought it so I could carry this cute little tin around in my purse. I thought the lotion would be just like the average lotion -- leave my palms and skin with a waxy/greasy feeling afterwards. (I literally thought that was what would happen with all lotions -- your hands would get greasy after rubbing it in!) Mais non! This is the first lotion in my life that does not leave a greasy feeling anywhere on my skin, including my palms!
This cream is so good that I've converted 3 guys (including my SO) to it! My SO liked the non-greasy, light feel of it for his face, so I gave him my tin and bought a tube for myself. And while at work, I noticed that a coworker was using Cetaphil Lotion for his hands. I told him that I didn't care for that lotion much, since it left my hands with a majorly greasy feeling. He responded with, "Isn't that what all lotions do?" I told him that was not the case, let him use some of this lotion, and asked how it compared. He said he literally could not believe the difference between the two -- that there was a cream that did not leave you with a greasy feeling. The same thing happened with another of my coworkers, too. I can use this on my hands at work and immediately start typing again. I cannot rave enough about this. Also, when my face is dehydrated, I use this on my dry parts, and it works great!

I used this on my face for a long time and I liked it. However, I got tired of its strong perfume and of the fact that my skin would just drink it up in 10 minutes. I have a suggestion for the ladies out there who use Nivea Creme or Soft on their faces: run to the drugstore and get AVENE rich moisturizing cream. I'm so happy, I'll never have to buy anything else. It doesn't smell, it gives way more moisture without being greasy, and I haven't had a pimple since. It's more expensive but it's very resonable for what it does.
