Comments about Nivea Express Hydration Freshening Gel, Normal to Dry Skin, Mint Extract, 8.4 fl oz:
I use this after I get out of the shower and I put it on my skin before drying off. It does a good job of moisturizing, it's lightweight and has a pleasant smell. It's hard to find this in my retail area, so I stock up on Drugstore.com.
The fragrance is pleasant but it's not long lasting. I have oily skin and I hate heavy lotions and creams. This is perfect.

I bought this because it was different than a lot of products out there and I like a lot of Nivea products. It has a very pleasant, light smell more similar to a clean, soapy smell. The mint is barely there. If you looking for something is more fragrant or reeks of mint this is not for you. The fragrance is there but it is very unobtrusive so this may a good product for someone who is very fragrance-sensitive. The texture is light and it would probably be a good after-sun moisturizer as it has a very cooling feeling upon application. However, as with any product that has a lot of glycerin in it, it is sticky feeling upon application and its texture is somewhere between ultrasound gel and conditioner. It does go on smoothly and is clear so it will not stain anything but it was so sticky on my hands I actually had to wash my hands after applying it. It didn't feel so bad on my legs/arms but I don't think I would use this on my face or as a moisturizer on children. I would recommend this to someone who wants something clean smelling and that goes on clear, but is patient with it as it does take 10-20 minutes to really absorb so I wouldn't put this on if you are about to run out the door. It is different from other products I have used but would like it better if it were not so sticky in application. I think this product would work well for either men or women. It does have a really pleasant scent. I could also say a little goes a long way. I have had this about a month and have not even gone past the Nivea label on the front in how much I have used. A quarter-sized amount will moisturize one leg amply.
