Oh, that's the Q10 stuff. I got a small sample of this and thought it was really nice. I don't think this is new, it's just that it wasn't marketed as an aftershave before. It was sold as a moisturizer. I really liked the scent of the sample. It's more expensive than their other aftershave balms, at least in the US. It was about $8, as opposed to $5 or $6 for their others asb's.

No no, it's really a different product

Different product, different formulation (except for the Q10)

 

[guitarslinger]

Yes!!!!

I'll buy that!

Interesting, I'd love to try it! Let's here some more feedback to anyone that has tried it...

Nice! As discussed in another Nivea thread, I really like their products and this one sounds like a winner. I wonder if it will make it to grocers' shelves like most of their others?

 

[nathanb]

I am almost positive that they have that on shelves over here in China. They have lots of Nivea products that I have never seen in the U.S.

If the price is not too steep I will check it out next time I am at the store.

It's been available for a while over here in the UK. It's ok, but I don't rate it as highly as the other Nivea balms. It feels stickier and I really have to work it into my skin to get it to absorb.

That's good, because I have very dry skin.

The thicker the better for me

I cannot wait for my face to be energized! Haven't seen this one at work yet, but I am sure I will find it somewhere. I personally have enjoyed this one:

Extreme Comfort Nivea is excellent, although for some reason it's around 50% more expensive than the other balms. There isn't a Nivea balm that I don't like though, I tend to stock up on all of them when Boots have their semi-regular 3 for 2 offer on Nivea products.

Already availabe in Greece

Not true at least in euro terms. Its price is almost the same as to Nivea ASB sensitive skin for instance

In the UK Sensitive, Cool Kick and Replenishing are around £4 a bottle, Revitalizing is £5 or so and Extreme Comfort is £6.

What does it smell like?

You Euro guys have a lot of Nivea products not available here

UPDATE:

Meijer super stores have it.

I've used it 4-5 times thus far. My impression is kind of "meh".

scent: Very plain, but not bad. It smells similar to the extra sensitive balm (white cap)

Efficacy: Feels like the extra sensitive balm. It doesn't have any extra slippery properties like the ultimate comfort.

value: That crappy plastic bottle + higher price + less balm = BIG thumbsdown.

Overall: It actually might be making my skin react with bumps and general breaking out.

So, if you want less of a more expensive extra sensitive balm that causes breakouts with no scent in a plastic bottle, be my guest. I'm a big Nivea fan, but this REALLY missed the mark IMO.

I saw this at my local Smith's Marketplace (Fred Meyer/ Kroger) yesterday.

Thanks a lot for the review

I was hoping for a manly or marine scent
I thought it would be more moisturizing than the Extra Sensitive (based on the ingredients)

The fact that it's more expensive per ounce is a bit disappointing.


It hasn't hit Canada yet, so I'll see for myself

Before I got into this whole DE thing, Nivea was the stuff I used, from face wash and scrub to balm and moisturisers.

As fast as I finished one balm, a different one came along, and now they're saturating the market. There are 4 at my local supermarket. I find they're all pretty much the same, except the tubey squeezy ones are now really moisturisers, not balms.

I reckon their marketing tells them a lot of men still aren't up to buying moisturiser, so they're just repackaging it as balm.

I currently use the Q10 "anti-fatigue" moisturizer face balm and I like it better than the Biotherm one that I have. It's more consistent and my skin stay smooth longer before turning shiny.

I would definetely try the Q10 balm if I was to find it.
