I absolutely love this Nivea primer. Before this delightful cream was released last year, I always used to use an silicone based primer and then a separate moisturiser along with it. This not only did no wonders for my oily skin, but it also took a good few minutes to allow both creams to fully dry before any foundation or concealer could be applied.
But now that I've bought this 'express hydration primer' I can substitute it for my primer as well as my moisturiser. This means my makeup is much quicker to apply and my t-zones are much less oily.
The texture of this cream is so light and thin that it absorbs into your skin within 10-20 seconds. It moisturises your skin so well that you instantly feel hydrated and refreshed without leaving your face oily or greasy like you normally get with a thick and heavy moisturiser.
The moisture of this primer will leave your skin really smooth allowing it to be a great finish for you to start applying any foundation. Sometimes with silicone based primers you will find that you are left with some flaking, but this Nivea primer just stays put and there is no flake to be found. And with this smooth finish I noticed that it did indeed help do it's job and kept my makeup at bay all day.
And I have got to admit even though this is a primer, because of its refreshing feeling I do sometimes find myself just applying this cream on its own without any intention of adding a full face of makeup. This idea came to me when I was just simply lying around the pool when I was on holiday. I found it was great to apply something so light and moisturising that could deal with my dry skin caused by the intense sun rays without my skin getting too greasy. And since my holiday, I still follow this through when I find my skin getting a bit tight or tired.
