Nivea BB Cream 5in1 Blemish Balm review


Hey dolls, 

the craze about BB Creams still continues and I am honestly a big fan of them since I tried this one from Nivea. At first I was a little sceptical about how this was gonna turn out, I know Nivea has been the first cream that ever touched my skin, because my mom has been using it like forever. I do love the famous blue cream too, but was just not sure about how a blemish balm would turn out from them. A little while ago Nivea sent me some products to test, one of them was the Nivea BB Cream 5in1 Blemish Balm which is available in the 2 shades "light" and "medium to dark". I received the darker shade, because I have a slightly tanned complexion.

Lately I have been using BB creams a lot during the day and for casual events when I was going for a more natural look. The difference compared to normal tinted day creams is not very big in my opinion, but I like them. When I go out in the evenings I still prefer foundation, otherwise I mostly use BB cremes.

What Nivea promises:
  • smoothes the skin and refines pores.
  • covers small blemishes like bumps, reddish areas, small wrinkles and signs of fatigue.
  • perfects and illuminates the complexion naturally.
  • provides the skin with long-lasting moisture.
  • protects the skin with SPF 10 against light-induced premature aging.

What I observed during my test phase:
  • Consistency: 
It is not as smooth as a normal day cream, but not as thick as the typical Nivea in the blue tin box. Absorbs quickly and well into the skin and is easy to apply.
  • Application:
I just use my fingers and spread the cream all over my face. Nivea says not to use it around the eyes, but I am and it slightly covers my dark under eye circles so I don´t need as much concealer afterwards. 
  • Fragrance: 
The typical Nivea smell - reminds me of my childhood.
  • Price:
The tube holds 50ml and costs 7,99 Euros.


Now to the product. The coverage is great. My skin has a olive undertone and is slightly tanned as a mediterranean, also my t-zone absorbed the cream very well. I have no rednesses or pimples and the dark under eye circles have been slightly mitigated, so I still use some concealer over it. In general my skin appeared smoother, there is no shine on it. It lasts all day and my skin doesn´t feel dry at all. I do find the result on my skin very nice and natural. Also it doesn´t feel like I have anything on my skin. Therefore I would totally recommned this shade if you have naturally olive or tanned skin. Try the shades out in the drugstore if possible before purchasing.

 Product Review: Nivea BB Cream 5in1 Blemish Balm Medium To Dark

But... if you are a light skin person I wouldn´t recommned it at all, it will be way too dark and you will look like you have a ton of it on your face.  It would be a disappointment. Maybe the lighter shade would be better for you. On the other hand in case you are strongly tanned it will definitely be too light for you. I do find the SPF10 a little bit too low though. Overall I have been impressed by this product and used it almost daily ever since I got it. The Nivea BB cream is very opaque almost like a normal foundation and feels like makeup without makeup, so it is great for a natural look. 

Have you tried it and how was your experience comparing to other BB cremes?

  2. Hello Nadia, yes it is possible that it will take a while until it is available for purchase in Portugal, I think it is not on the market very long in Germany, probably just a few months. Thanks for stopping by hun!

  6. This Nivea BB Cream looks interesting to try. The first time I saw this was through a friend's Instagram. I was pleasantly surprised. Nivea has amazing products to begin with like their lip balms and lotions. Glad to see they now have a BB cream too. I'm glad to see it's working out well for you. It looks like it blends nicely on your skin. It definitely is a perfect match for your skin tone. Hopefully there's a shade that'll match me too. I'd like to try it. I like how there's a lot of benefits to it and that there's SPF 10. :)

    Thanks for sharing this product review. I found it very informative and helpful. I surely enjoyed reading this post. I'm looking forward to coming back and reading more of your posts. :)

    Thank you also for taking the time to comment on my latest blog post. Your nice feedback made my day. Thank you for the follow back too. :) Hope you have an amazing weekend. Take care. :)

  48. I have tried it I also have a review on my blog http://o-fata-simpla.blogspot.ro/2013/02/nivea-bb-cream-review.html but for me it doesn't not have such great coverage, because I have redness and pimples so I need something more and also the shade it is to dark for me. But I like how it feels, light and I think in the summer, when I get a little tan I will use it.

  62. Lovely review. I have yet to try a BB cream as I find them slightly intimidating. So many people tell me to buy the stuff from Asia and that the stuff I can get in my drugstore is not the same. But this product is pretty inexpensive, so maybe I'll give it a try in the lighter shade.
    I'm back over here from the Aloha hop and am looking forward to more posts.

    Have a lovely weekend!
