   I ordered the Nivea revitalizing lotion here because the picture shown was the old blue container, unfortunately I got the new silver container lotion. I have found that with the change in pachaging they changed the amount of fragrance. It is so much stronger I couldn’t even stand myself in the car with the windows down. I love this product in the blue less fragranced form, but now, for me it is unusable! I will be returning this order!

   It goes on pretty smoothly, but ends up with a bit of an opaque/whitish appearance, I presume because of the SPF ingredients.

   Has a pretty distinct fragrance, not that appealing, and not as good as some other Nivea products.

   Can’t say that it is doing anything more for appearance than a more generic, and far cheaper moisturizer/suntan lotion would do. When this 3pack is done, I think I’ll stick with moisturizers and when planning on being in the sun, suntan lotion–the combination of the high cost [per oz] and iffy fragrance make it not worth it to me.

   I used to purchase the pictured “Nivea for Men Face Care Revitalizing Lotion Q10″ at my local supermarket until about a year ago and it was great: SP15, fragrance-free, non-oily–would have given it 5 stars. Eventually, stores would not carry it anymore, and I was happy to see it listed on Amazon (July 2010).

   However, this is not the product that Amazon is shipping, which reads “Nivea for Men Revitalizing Lotion Q10″ (it is missing the “Face Care” of “Nivea for Men FACE CARE Revitalizing Lotion Q10″ in the product description) and comes in a silver packaging (not blue as pictured)–the same product that has replaced the original product in stores.

   I don’t mind the new name and packaging but, as reported by another reviewer, the new lotion now contains large (unbearable, for me and my family) amounts of fragrance (unlike the [discontinued?] product in the description, which hardly contained any)–the new one gets 1 star. . . and is on its way back to Amazon!

   For a product that is supposedly “lightly fragranced” (according to the back of the bottle and print on the box), this lotion stinks! Yes, literally. After I applied the lotion, 30 seconds later, my wife walked past (not in!) the bathroom and wrinkled her nose. . . the kind of reaction I’d expect if I were dousing myself with Brut cologne. I washed my face because I couldn’t stand the smell infusing my nostrils.

   What is the smell like? Synthetic, not matching any natural scent I’ve encountered. A bit like an after-shave, but less astringent, more floral/musky, and with far more staying power. It’s like perfume for the face.

   How is the product, aside from the smell? Fine, but who cares!?! Aside from the smell, you might use feces for a facial mask. . . shoot, that would be more appropriately “for men” than this lotion. I feel especially betrayed by the marketing. If Nivea is going to explicitly label a product “for men,” then I would expect it to leave me smelling like a man, or even better, like nothing at all. . . not like a boy who just discovered cologne, not like my grandmother, not like that retired friend of my mother-in-law who always wears polyester and tries kiss me on the cheeks and grab my bum when she gets a hug. Maybe “for boys” or “for teens” or “for butterflies” doesn’t sell as well as “for men”. . . go figure. Where can I find a reasonably priced, no-nonsense moisturizing lotion with moderate sunblock?

   This is excellent because it also contains an SPF 15! It nourishes the skin and protects it from the sun. Great value through Amazon compared to retail stores!
