Expensive and for what? Some niacinamide? Just get some other Cerave cream for the same price but for 500ml, Cetaphil is you want cheaper and with niacinamide or La Roche Posay if you want fancy moisturizer with niacinamide because La Roche formulations are more elegant most of the time. It&#39;s not that hydrating and mainly just sits there and if you exfoliate this won&#39;t be enough.

It&#39;s a cream, I guess. Doesn&#39;t do anything though, even gave me slight irritation at some point because it wasn&#39;t even enough to hydrate my skin after exfoliation and it stung a bit to put on. I&#39;ve also experienced clogged pores since starting it but I am not sure this cream is the culprit. The pros are that for oily skin this is a good nice texture, very cooling, it&#39;s got niacinamide (and not at an alarming %)

After 3 reapplications it does pill a little.
Also this has a very silicone-y powdery texture after it settles into your skin, which is interesting. You&#39;d think something is either mattifying or shiny, but this ends up in a powdery-shiny middle ground.

The good part about this sunscreen is how well it just does it&#39;s job. No frills and not that much elegance, it simply puts a film over your face and it does it&#39;s job well.
The texture is lighter than other Nivea creams I&#39;ve tried, and unlike the Garnier UV face sunscreens Nivea actually does not pill if you use the reccomended amount lmao
I liked that it did not break me out, clog my pores, and compared to other european formulations, this one actually feels the most lightweight, creamy and not gonna lie, the price really makes this appealing. £6 in Tesco for a around 5 weeks of 2x usage is really good! 
Affordable, non-irritating, basic. I&#39;ve repurchased it.

I&#39;m not sure why but I&#39;ve experienced a lot of breakouts over the time period of using this. I&#39;m starting to suspect my skin dislikes niacinamide despites my attempts (my skin also reacted to Cerave PM badly btw).
It soothes at first and it&#39;s a beautiful formulation but somehow I always ended up having to use so much for adequate hydration (like 4-5 pumps). Whenever I used less I&#39;ve seen dry patches and flakes over my acne scars. Sometimes I have to mix it in with Cicaplast B5 for it to be thick enough for me.
If after a month I still get continuous breakouts then I&#39;ll delete the review but for now, I truly think this might be the cream to break me out.

This ingredient list is really good and no doubt will anyone else be satisfied with the texture, quality and elegance of it.

I don&#39;t believe the salicylic acid claim, this didn&#39;t extract or help any pimples out to surface. It&#39;s 6 pound so you can get better for cheaper.

I mean it&#39;s a pimple patch but all it does is just stop you from touching your face.

I have been reapplying fairly well and yet my sunspots are still a bit visible after use. This tells me that the protection might not be as good as I hoped.
This lasts very little with constant reapplication (2x a day). I started use on the 10th of September and it is now the 1st of October and it&#39;s already almost done. So the value for the money is meh. However this is still a beautiful formulation.

This is a wonderfully lightweight formulation that never pills and sits under make up beautifully while lightly giving you a dewy look.
