Kiehl's Crème D'elegance Repairateur

bh says: Enriched with cocoa butter and sesame oil, it’s perfect for those with very dry and dry skin.

I noticed that Aveeno wasn't on the list. It's once of those affordable creams that would help and skin type!

Fresh and Moisturising
The packaging is clean and simple. Slight hint of the standard Nivea blue colour and the fresh green colour of cucumber. Not too in your face but very clean and natural looking.
Simply the best!
Light, creamy goodness! I'm 52 and have tried many hair products and this is simply the best.
Leaves your skin feeling soft and fresh
My First impression of Nivea Micellar Face Wash was it looked like a hand sanitizer with the pump bottle and gel like substance inside.
