Sensitive Skin Series I: Nivea Sensitive

Searching for products that are effective and non-irritant for sensitive skin is not an easy task. But when you find something truly delicate, you feel like your search is worth it. To be honest I haven’t expected to find a cream that works for people with intolerant skin in the supermarket, but Nivea proved me I was wrong.

The new Sensitive range it’s simply a great way to moisturize my complexion: no fragrance, no parabens, no silicone, just a creamy balm texture that acts like a protective veil for the skin. It is completely non-irritant and it didn’t aggravate  my redness whatsoever, one of the mildest moisturizers out there.  Formulated with minimal ingredients (the main are licorice, grape seed oil and panthenol) this cream has a night version and a day version with SPF15, so what can I ask for more? Maybe an anti-ageing range for sensitive skin from Nivea? Oh yes!
