I feel the same way as many of you..always used Nivea Oil infusion lotions for the way it melts into the skin. I'm a user for 20 years and was devastated by the new formulas. But.... I bought the Skin Firming Hydration lotion yesterday and it has similar formula to the old oil infused! Honestly, not sticky, doesn't smell like alcohol! I wouldn't normally buy a skin firming lotion but at my age now it's a plus. Give it a try! You'll be happy. I know I am.
This has been my favorite lotion before the new formula! I used it daily, loved the smell, the texture, the absorption! The new formula is terrible! It sticks to the skin and doesn't absorb at all! And even after great efforts of rubbing it onto my skin to force absorption, my skin doesn't feel hydrated! Why did you ruin a perfect product? why? Now I'm stuck with a bottle that I can't use, I can't return, and I have to put it in the trash!
This was the first lotion I ever found that I didn't hate. Usually after applying most lotions, you can feel it on your skin long after it's dried. You couldn't feel this one at all! It was so nice, I was actually using it every day because of how easy it was to apply it and not have to worry about keeping my skin smooth and hydrated. But the new formula doesn't compare in the slightest. The residual, caked on feeling is very prominent now. It doesn't go on smoothly, taking a lot more effort to blend it into the skin to avoid white spots, and even then it's hard for it to completely fade. I was worried when I saw a new formula had come out, but this is beyond disappointing. I intend to return it and start my search for a good lotion again, because this just isn't it anymore. Extremely disappointing, as I'd been recommending this lotion to anyone who was looking. Now I just feel bad for potentially making them buy this new, worse formula. If there's any way for the formula could be changed back I'm sure I would not be the only one to come back, but until then I wish you luck with your enshittification.
