My Opinion:
I've got my first tin of Nivea after reading an article comparing it with Creme de La Mer, I've tried it and didn't like it (it was just too greasy), and not wanting to waste it, I've applied it on my super dry cracked feet, which I've tried tones of product without success. Once I've tried Nivea I've been religiously applying it on my feet everynight, and I've already gone thru 3 tins.
This leaves my feet super soft and moist, before Nivea I couldn't wear shoes without socks (can you imagine how irritating it is when you can't wear sandals in the Summer), even with the softest shoes I'll still get blisters, but after using Nivea for about 2 months, I've actually bought a bunch for sandals and didn't have any problems wearing it.

My Opinion:
I got this mainly because of the consumer affairs report earlier this year claiming that this is one of the anti wrinkle products that actually works, according to the same report, several different brands of anti wrinkle products (a few were actually high end products) were tested, and that only 3 brands actually works, and Nivea was included.

After the report was published, this product actually went out of stock for several months, and I've to visit 3 drugstore to get hold of it. I've been using this for nearly a month and found that this eye cream absorbs really fast, hydrates my under eye area, but If I apply it too close to my lash line it burns my eyes....

Apart from the eye burning issue, this is a really good eyecream, and I find it even better than some of the high end products that I've been using.
