Growing up in the 90’s, I feel like everybody’s mum had a tub of Nivea Crème in their bathroom cabinet, and there's something about it that makes me feel quite nostalgic. The iconic blue tub has been trusted by generations and it is still very much a firm favourite with those that like straight forward and reliable skincare.
As a beauty editor, I love testing out new formulas. I get excited about the latest serums and must-have moisturisers, and I’m constantly reading up on the next big thing when it comes to powerful new ingredients. Because of this, the classic lotion from Nivea hasn’t necessarily been at the top of my must-try list. It was nothing against it—I just felt like it was a classic cream that looks after skin without any fuss or bravado, and I had always considered it as a little bit (dare I say it) basic.
