What we say:
When I first saw the advertisements for this product I was skeptical. After all, how can a lotion absorb into the skin while it is wet, and then hydrate it enough to not need an extra moisturiser on top of it? It seemed too good to be true, which is usually my call to action to put it to the test. I began using it a day later, and boy, was I wrong.
The first clue I picked up on was that the lotion itself felt luxuriously soft and velvety. You can usually tell if a product is going to feel beautiful on your skin by the texture of the formulation, and if this theory is anything to go by, I was right to assume that my skin would love it! I followed the instructions and applied the lotion to my wet skin after cleansing. After about 20 or 30 seconds I rinsed it off and began towelling my skin as I stepped out of the shower. To my complete amazement, my skin felt as if I had just applied a moisturiser – velvety and hydrated! I thought it might not last, but I am happy to admit that by the afternoon my skin was still soft and smooth, and in no need of extra moisturising.
Every time I use it, the results are the same. It has completely changed the way I go about moisturising my body as it saves me time and I never have to worry about the product staining my clothes. Plus, I couldn’t believe how affordable it is. I won’t stop using this product any time soon!

Absolutely fantastic product at very good price; wont use body lotion on body anymore! Well done! 5 stars.
This is a wonderful product. I am using this and it is great. The price is right.
I received a sample of this in a magazine. It really does work. I used it as instructed and my skin felt wonderful. It moisturises just perfectly. The only thing I didn’t like was the lack of fragrance. Other than that, this is a lovely and convenient product, sure to save some time in the morning before rushing to work.
I truly think that this was one of the best new releases of last year. I know of so many people who love it. It is effective (more so for normal skin), very affordable, it smells lovely and the packaging is great (as with all Nivea products). I have very dry skin, so I still need to apply body lotion after a bath/shower. I tried both variants (normal and dry) and to be honest, they felt very similar to me. If you have normal skin and hate the feeling of heavy lotions or creams on your skin, especially in summer, then this may be the product for you. Well worth a try.
I HAVE READ ALL OF THE REVIEWS ON THIS GREAT PRODUCT CALLED NIVEA IN-SHOWER RICH BODY SKIN CONTIONER ,OF THOSE WHO HAVE USED THE PRODUCT – BUT I WHO HAVE NOT EVEN USED THE PRODUCT,OR EVEN SEEN THE PRODUCT YET,CAN TELL YOU HOW THE PRODUCT WORKS.FIRSTLY THE PRODUCT CONTAINS ALMOND OIL,IT IS THE OIL WHICH WILL FORM A BARRIER OVER THE SKIN”S SURFACE SEALING IN THE MOISTURE ON YOUR SKIN, SO THAT MOISTURE CANNOT ESCAPE WHEN YOU ARE APPLY IT STRAIGHT AFTER YOU SHOWER.WHAT IS IT REALLY THE SKIN NEEDS? -YES, WATER! IT IS ACTUALLY THE WATER(that was “locked in) THAT WILL HYDRATE THE SKIN THROUGHOUT THE DAY.AS THE WATER AT A CERTAIN POINT WILL BECOME LESS AND LESS ABLE TO HYDRATE THE SKIN,THIS IS WHERE THE RICH ALMOND OIL TAKES OVER.THE OIL DERIVED FROM THE ALMOND IS A VERY RICH ONE -THUS LEAVING A CONDITIONING LAYER ON TOP OF THE SKIN,TO KEEP THE SKIN SOFT,SMOOTH AND SUPPLE LONG ENOUGH,UNTIL YOU TAKE YOUR NEXT SHOWER.REMEMBER, IF YOU WERE TO WIPE YOURSELF DRY,AFTER A SHOWER,YOU WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THAT WATER YOU JUST REMOVED.YOU WOULD HAVE TO MOISTERISE -BECAUSE ALL LOTIONS,TO MOISTERISE,CONTAINS A PRODUCT CALLED AQUEOUS- WHICH MEANS WATER-DERIVES FROM THE WORD ‘AQUA’.THE WATER IS PLACED INTO A CREAM “BASE”,SO THAT IT CAN BE APPLYED DIRECT TO THE SKIN AND THE WATER EASILY ABSORBED INTO THAT DRY SKIN.THIS PRODUCT WORKS BY “LOCKING” THAT WATER IN RIGHT FROM THE START.WE ARE ALL LOOKING FOR THOSE MINUTES TO SAVE IN A DAY.THIS PRODUCT WILL SAVE YOU TIME AND SEAL IN THAT MOISTURE YOUR SKIN NEEDS,NO NEED TO WAIT FOR A LOTION OR CREAM TO PULL INTO THE SKIN.ALSO REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE ONLY REPLACED THE WATER,WITH APPLYING A LOTION OR CREAM-NO BARRIER WAS PUT ON TOP TO SEAL IN THE MOISTURE.BY USING THE NIVEA,WHICH CONTAINS THE OIL,YOU WILL NOT ONLY HAVE A BARRIER,BUT THE OIL WILL CONDITION THE SKIN HOURS AFTER STILL.GO OUT AND GET THIS PRODUCT-YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOOSE,BUT MORE TIME TO GAIN!A SOUND INVESTMENT FOR YOUR BODY-THE BEST DEAL OF THE DAY HAS BEEN MADE,NOT IN THE BOARDROOM,BUT RIGHT IN THE SHOWER.A PRODUCT I NEED TO GET,TO STRIKE A DEAL!
I love Nivea! I love their smell and price and the innovative products they come up with. I got this product as a sample and could not wait to try it out.
Although it smelled great and felt rich on the skin, my dry skin still felt a bit dry after the shower and the moisturising effect did not last that long. I think if one has dry skin, you will still have to moisturise after shower.
I received a sample of this in my Marie Claire magazine and decided to try it. It felt so smooth and amazing on my skin. The next day after work I bought a full size bottle.
This is such a good idea for a product – it saves me a bit of time when getting ready in the mornings :) I tried the In Shower moisturizer with Sea Minerals (the white bottle) – and was impressed! If you have dry skin, I would suggest trying the Almond Oil for Dry Skin. Great product all round!
I saw this product on the shelves a while back, but ignored it, thinking that for the very affordable price, this product is too good to be true. Later I got a sample of Nivea In-Shower Rich Body Lotion Skin Conditioner in a magazine and decided to give it a try, since I have nothing to loose anyway.
I loved it. My skin felt so silky smooth, way better than what it feels when I use my usual moisturizer. The people at my work must have though I’m crazy because I kept rubbing my arms and any other exposed skin because it felt so soft!
This product has now earned a spot on my permanent shopping list and I would recommend anyone to give it a try.
Nivea is always part of my shopping list, and I tried this product and it definitely works. My skin feels so smooth and soft after every use. Smells divine. Love it.
