Watermelon shine caring lip balm
Dear Team,
I've been using Nivea products for a while but never had any issue except the most recent one I suffered. I bought this watermelon shine caring lip balm for the first time and started using it. As soon as I started using it after the first 2 uses my lips got itchy and had rashes all over the lips. Initially I did not realise the reason for the damage and did not bother to stop it and hence it became more worse where there were wounds on the lips. Then I stopped using it and had to visit a doctor for medication. Later I wanted to know if it is for the same and hence I applied a little again once and the rashes showed up again.
Now I can make sure this lip balm is causing damage to the lips and there is no sign of ingredients as well. I'm assuming there should a warning if you feel there is an ingedient which could damage the skin. Hope you look into it.
Desired outcome: Please action
Nivea Men Quick Dry anti perspirant DEEP
I purchased this for my son for the first time at the weekend and am very disappointed with the product. When sprayed, it fills the air with white powder, making him cough and leaves so much residue on his skin, that it immediately starts flaking off. It has gone all over his uniform and won't all brush out leaving white marks. Terrible product, terrible for the environment too I should think.
Desired outcome: Id like my money back and to hear from you regarding the safety of this product and the impact it has on your health
Organic argan oil
For the second time now I purchased Nivea naturally good organic argan oil night cream and when I open it I find day cream. I bought both items in same clicks store here in South Africa. How do I then continue trusting that I will in future get products I love without concerns that it might be incorrect products in the package. Please bring this up with the store to avoid unnecessarily time and money consumption. I need to trust the store and the products, hence I have being using Nivea products for years and they never disappoint.
Thank you for reading my complaint.
Regards,
Stella
pump bottle body wash
I purchased a bottle of your body wash with the new push spout, I was very pleased with the way it worked, putting a little on my arm and it was enough to cover the skin on the arm. It rinsed right off with no problem.
The second bottle I purchased was an entirely different story. When I pumped some in my hand and put it on my arm, it was almost impossible to spread it out except for the area it was placed. When I rinsed it off, it left a sticky film on my body. It was very difficult to wash off my hands, no matter what I did.
The number on the price bars is [protected] 0. I don't know if that means any way of identifying the product,
I liked the first bottle; that's why I made the second purchase. Now, I'm not sure I want to make a third
Hopefully, you can tell me what happened.

Sun protect & moisture
I recently purchased the above product in Factor 15. I have been a nivea user for as many years as I can recall and always been happy with it, especially the texture which is very important to me. However, on applying this latest product I felt there was an issue as the lotion just sat on my skin and didn’t blend or soak into my skin and looked like lard laying on the urface. The exact same thing happened to
My husband and he is not happy either. I felt quite let down about this product as I imagined this new formula would be better on the skin. I and my husband are 70 years of age and skin products are very important to
Us I cannot continue using this product whilst I’m on holiday in Egypt. As you can imagine the temperature is high up in the 30s and I cannot take risks I hope you will take note of my remarks and also Maybe send me some complimentary items or a gift voucher.
With many thanks for your cooperation.
Desired outcome: Recognition of my statement and complimentary items or gift voucher
nivea fresh for men
I have purchased the the new product of NIVEA fresh from dischem and wat you say is not happening.

Please feel free to contact me at any time on

Desired outcome: I would appreciate a call and I will explain myself and I will expect some positive products from nivea
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Nivea Tinted Day Cream
I purchased this item on 24th March from Sainsburys, Godalming, Surrey. It stated LIGHT SKIN TONE on the container. Unfortunately the cream is dark and very orange, not for pale skin tones at all.
I have been trying to email you with photos but have been so far unsuccessful.

Desired outcome: I mislaid my receipt outside the supermarket so I do not expect a refund but I feel you should be aware of this as it seems to be a mistake. I am unclear as to the extra information you are asking for.
Nivea Men Stress Protect quick dry anti perspirant
I have been using this product for the last 5 years, I am unable to get it at retailers in Pretoria, only the musk is available of which the fragrance is not at all pleasing.
I have visited the following retailers without success:
1. Clicks castle gate
2. Clicks Castle walk
3. Clicks Menlyn Retail
4. Checkers menlyn
5. Spar Dely Road
6. Clicks Menlyn Maine
Is there a problem with the supply of this product or is it being discontinued.
I have now run out of stock and will have to change to another deodorant
Desired outcome: Where Can I get this product, can nivea supply it directly
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Nivea Men.
Its the shaving gel. It seems to have changed as the last 2 tins have been very sloppy and the 2nd is even worse it just runs through your fingers before it can be put on your face.
Also it still must be half full and cannot seem to get it to come out but in slight dribbles .
Bought from Morrisons...Date. 4 Feb 2022
Desired outcome: wouldn't mind a couple of replacements as i do use this product quite regular.
Anti-Perspirant - pure invisible
I'm afraid I find this anti-perspirant completely unsatisfactory. Not only does it have a very noxious, artificial smell but it doesn't guard against body odour even when I have done no more exercise than a brisk walk.
I expected it to offer 48 hour protection as promised on the container and am very disappointed by its failure to do so.
It would be great to find out if any other customers have made a similar complaint.

Jenny
Unhappy with a nivea product
I am a loya nivea products customer. And I use nivea products from roll on, sunscreen everything. Unfortunately, the roll on that I have been buying nivea dry confidence anti-perspirant, is giving me problems. I leave home at 6h30, round about 11 am I can smell my armpit already from the sweat. The 48hr protection, no is it not working. I have tried a couple of them, but still. The last time I wrote on the ladies group on fb and checking which roll on brand they are using. Only to find out some were also complaining about nivea roll ons recently it is not doing justice. As we speak I am sitting at home with 3 bottles but im gonna have to stop and buy a different brand now. The kind of work I do, I am a teacher so, I do not get sweaty at all. But still the 48hr protection is failing me. Please help before you loose customers.
Desired outcome: contact me and will take it from there
Tinted moisturizer... Fair skin
I bought some tinted moisturizer in the hope the fair skin would be my colour but is far too dark. It Makes me look patchy and cannot be used at all. I was looking a cream with a bit of a tint to use everyday at home, this is not the case .Makes me look orange and is hardly a moisturizer more a light foundation.
This was bought for £4 from superdrug
Desired outcome: Money and back and a little extra or another product
Competition scam
I was told that I am one of the winners of Khosi Nkosi Nivea dress competition. I was called by Room 27 in Durban, regarding my size and was told that they will call me when the dress is ready for delivery. Some one called me again a year later checking for my address and told me the dress is not yet ready. The competition was 3 years ago September 2018.
I would like to know what happened to my dress?
Nivea Sun PROTECT & MOISTURE SUN LOTION SPF 30, 200 ML
This product has recently been reformulated to include titanium dioxide (nano). Because of this it is no longer inclusive and accessible to people with darker skin tones. I am a black woman and was horrified to see the white cast (purply tint) that was left on my skin. It already is hard to find sunscreen when you're of a darker complexion, and now this reformulation has made it much harder.
A solution would be for Nivea to bring back the old formula that did not have titanium dioxide (nano). If they are keen on the new formula, the least they could do is sell both options, so black people, and people of colour are not excluded.
Desired outcome: A solution would be for Nivea to bring back the old formula that did not have titanium dioxide (nano).
50+ kids suncream failure
I have already issued a complaint via email but as yet no reply! Ny son was scolded using your suncream on Friday which obviously didn't have the appropriate SPF in it! I used the cream accordingly qs instructed by your bottle to which it resulted in my son being hospitalised because of it! I am so angry that I had to see my child suffer and endure pain all because your suncream failed him! I will also be getting an independent test done on the cream as well! I expect someone to contact ASAP as I will be reporting to trading standards tomorrow morning as a result of no-one contacting me back!
Desired outcome: A response ASAP
Extra gentle eye make up remover
This is the least gentle product I have ever used in fact, I would go so far as to say it is vicious. I have used this once and I have red burn marks all around my eyes. I do not have sensitive skin, I didn't scrub the area but it was so painful to use, stinging, and even worse the morning after! I fail to understand how a product that is called extra gentle can be the total opposite. I have used your products for years and I am highly disappointed.
Factor 50 coloured suncream
I used this for the first time on my daughter for a day out. Using more than recommended as I'm very cautious with the sun. At the end of the day it was clear she was very sun burnt - she was in a lot of pain and couldn't sleep. I couldn't understand how it happened, I found out that this product did not pass the Which safety tests and now I know why! How is this still being sold! And targeted at children! What if my daughter gets skin cancer now? The doctor said the damage is already done. She's 8 and has never burnt before so I know how to keep her safe in the sun. I trusted this brand and I'm furious
Desired outcome: Remove product from shelves recognise the awful thing that has happened to my daughter, pain caused and potential life changing damage
Nivea advertising
I am absolutely staggered that Nivea has pulled advertising from the new GB News Channel under pressure from Stop Funding Hate ( SFH ). What is the world coming to ? Don't Nivea realise that it is the SFH who are the hate-mongers ? GB News is just offering an alternative to liberal-Left mantra of the mainstream media ( like the BBC ).
My family won't be buying any more Nivea products in the future i=until this ridiculous capitulation is reversed.
Desired outcome: A return to decency and common sense
Advertising
I am appalled that you have withdrawn advertising from GB NEWS for political reasons and I am withdrawing support for all of your products and have advised all friends and relatives to do the same.
Desired outcome: Comments please as soon as possible
Nivea daily essentials gentle cleansing wipes for face eyes and lips
Both my daughter and I used these and within 5 minutes eyes and face burning - eyes watering and blocked nose
Bathed both our faces and eyes in cold clean water and had a little relief
Now 2 hours have passed and both our faces and eyes still burning and watering
