I normally use Dove body wash and Vaseline lotion but I was willing to try Nivea's products for a review. This gift set is attractively packaged in a fairly large zippered gold bag that can be used for travel or storage. The products are all full-size and not just samples or travel-size products. The first product I tried was the body wash. You have to press very hard to get the product to dispense the first time, and a lot of product comes out under pressure when the pump releases, so use caution. After that, it works just fine. The body wash is a foam, which I am not accustomed to, but it lathers up well in my net shower pouf. It does feel moisturizing but I personally don't care for the strong scent at all. It doesn't linger, but I like my shower products to smell good while I'm using them. If you don't mind the smell, you could also use the body wash as a shaving cream. I used it on my legs and it works just as well as my regular shaving cream. The next product was the in-shower lotion. This sounds like a good idea-- a lotion you can apply to wet skin and just rinse off-- but do read the fine print. It says you have to clean your shower/tub after every use because the lotion can build up on the shower/tub surface. I really don't want to clean my shower or tub after every use, so I will not use this product as intended. It does work fine on dry skin, but again the unpleasant scent is overwhelming. Same thing for the lotion and creme. It's a shame because the quality of the products is very good. The only product I will use regularly is the lip balm. It is unscented and very moisturizing. It is difficult to open because there is a plastic sleeve around the base that I had to remove with scissors-- no obvious perforated section to tear open. Bottom line: if you don't mind the smell of Nivea products, then you will probably love this gift set. If you're unsure, try a tester somewhere to make sure the smell is appealing before purchasing all these products.
