Nivea Express Hydration, Happy time Body Lotions Review, Comparison

Nivea Express Hydration Body Lotion (Rs 179 for 250ml) & Nivea Happy time Body Lotion (Rs 265 for 400ml) available at Flipkart

I think a lot of us grew up with that little tin of Nivea cold cream.  I remember getting my own tine just before a school trip – made me feel very grown up indeed. J

Nivea now has a huge range of products and I love their core range of moisturizing and hydrating lotions. They really give you a lot of choice, but sometimes its difficult to narrow down to what you really need. So to make your life easy I have two of them reviewed and compared today 🙂

Nivea Express Hydration Body Lotion – The ultra light formula of NIVEA Express Hydration Body Lotion, with Sea Minerals works deep with the skin, repairing dryness layer by layer to make the skin immediately soft, supple & delicately enwrapped in a blue lotus scent.

My Experience

Both the asymmetrical bottles are pretty similar in what they do.  I use these at night and I really like their flip top lids.  I find they are great and both provide instant hydration.  I personally don’t like using a body lotion in the day because I feel sticky in the Mumbai Heat.  But as I spend most of my time indoors in the Air conditioning, my skin does need that extra pampering.  I therefore apply these during the night.

Nivea express hydration has the normal Nivea cream fragrance which I find soothing.  However the one with Bamboo Milk smells divine.  Funny thing, the bottle says its made of Bamboo milk but there is an image of a slice of orange on the bottle.  I think that has to do with the fragrance.  The lotion has a yummy citrus fragrance.

If I had to pick, I’d take the Nivea Happy time Body Lotion.
