Yes, I resorted to applying body BUTTER which is a lot richer and creamier when compared to lotions as that is how dry my skin is.

Hence I was really glad that I get to try this new product from NIVEA which was posted to me by SampleStore.com :)

Introduction

The NIVEA Body Intensive Moisture Serum SPF 25 PA ++ is the first body serum that not only repairs 10 signs of extra dry and damaged skin within 24 hours, but also shields it from the sun.

Key features are:

1. Extra light serum texture

2. Non-sticky

3. Fast Absorption

4. Repairs 10 signs of dry and damaged skin within 24 hours

So.. What are the 10 signs of dry and damaged skin?

The TEN Signs of Dry and Damaged Skin Are:

1. Flaky

2. Itchy

3. Uneven

4. Scratched

5. Rough

6. Cracked

7. Stressed

8. Dull

9. Peeling

10. Tight

Out of the 10 signs, I think I got SEVEN out of TEN. So does that make me a winner?

Meh! I don't even wanna be a winner for such a contest if there is any ;(

The packaging of the product is rather handy, in tube form verses the tin used to contain the traditional good ol' NIVEA Creme.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention how this good ol' NIVEA Creme saved my life in the past. Its rich and creamy texture is really pampering for my dry lizard skin.. The downside is that it tends to get stuck in my fingernails as I might dig into the cream accidentally with my finger...

The texture of the product is surprisingly very light and watery although it looked white and creamy.

Also, it retains the fragrance of the good ol' NIVEA Creame! I always loved how my NIVEA Creme smelt.. LOL.

The serum gets absorbed into my skin really fast - in fact it felt as if my skin is drinking water!

The long-lasting results?

I was initially skeptical as I felt that the watery texture might not be as durable as the ultra oily and sticky body butter I used to apply on my skin. But oh ~ I am SO WRONG!

My skin is still moisturised after a day's application and I did the 'scratch test' on my legs at the end of the day. I simply scratched my legs with my fingernails (I know its gross) to check if there are any visible lines and was amazed that there are none! *WOW*

Pricing: ★★☆☆☆

Packaging: ★★★☆☆
