Got my bottle today, looking forward to using it over the next 2 weeks, and hope that it will prevent some stretch marks as my baby-to-be has decided this is the week that he/she is letting the world know they're coming, by taking a growth spurt, and suddenly I have a big baby-bump.

I tried this product for the last week and it really improved my stretchmarks. They are not as visible as before. My skin feels nice and soft, as well. This lasts for the whole day. The smell is lovely, too.

After using this product for 2 weeks, day and night, I have to say, I've grown quite fond of it. I'm not one for moisturising usually, but being 20 weeks pregnant tomorrow, on my 1st baby, I'm ready to try anything that might help with avoiding streachmarks. I'm not too sure I'd be talked into spending €22 on 200ml of Bio-Oil though. I've suffered from streachmarks all over my hips and, when I was a teenager, got a load around my inner thighs too. Last summer, I was on steroids for over a month which led to weight gain, and more streachmarks. My red streachmarks have faded a little, they're well on their way to the silver that's not too obvious, but I'm not sure if this was just due to happen, or if the oil helped. My bump however, has NO streachmarks – that I am delighted with, because I expected, with my history of them, I'd be destroyed by now. Just for this reason, I will continue with this oil twice a day.

I'm not too sure about the firming effects of the Nivea Q10 Firming Body Oil, but to be honest, I wasn't suffering from saggy skin before using it.

While trying to do a little reasearch for this review, I had a look for the product in a couple of pharmacies, and couldn't find it anywhere. I forgot (baby-brain) to look when I was in the supermarket today, so I had a look online to see if I could find out the price. I found one review that says it's €10 – about half the price of Bio-oil – and then checked Tesco online to see if they stock it, and was delighted to see that they do, and have it priced at €3.29!! Will definately be stocking up for the next 20 weeks. The 200ml bottle is just over half gone, after using it for 2 weeks twice a day, so I think it's a good size, not too big or small.

Over all, I'd recommend it, it may not be a miracle cure for “imperfections” but it seems to do some good, and it's not going to break the bank, even on a maternity budget. I'll be back to let you know if the dreaded streachmarks make an appearance.

Hi, this is my feedback on the Nivea Firming Body Oil!
The oil comes in a large, well designed bottle which looks good and is easy to use. I have used other Nivea products before and always found them good quality so was expecting this to be the same, and it was. Its a fairly viscous oil which goes on easily but took a long time to be fully absorbed into my skin, sometimes hours. it smells lovely btw and the smell lasted on my skin until the next day. Unfortunately I was only able to use it for 4 or 5 days as I developed a mild rash, particularly in my skin creases, eg elbpws so I had to stop. I dont know if it was an actual allergy to the product or if it was just too heavy for my skin. In the brief period I used it, it certainly moisturised my skin and left it feeling very soft and supple, and it was particularly good on my 6yr old section scar which is often dry and itchy. Overall I wouldnt buy this product again myself as it didnt suit my skin, but I would recommend it to any one who had very dry skin as I feel it would certainly be of benefit.

Thanks for picking me to be part of this trial. I am a fan of oils & regularly use bio, rose hip and almond oil so I was interested to try this.
I found it went on very nicely & soaked in really quickly for an oil. My skin tends to be quite dry and there was a definite improvment almost immediately.
I already have used bio oil quite religiously on the areas where I had a few stretch marks so I didn't expect to see any further improvement and I was correct. Bio oil is quite expensive however so I limit it's use to those areas so it's definite plus that Nivea firming oil is affordable enought to use all over.
The packaging is very nice, although I wonder if there is any need for the box... I think the bottle is plenty and creates less waste.
I would certainly continue to use it, probably not daily but every second day for sure.

hi ive been using nivea q10 oil.

it does make your skin feel soft, but sometimes it can take a while to absorb. it didnt make any difference to stretch marks, maybe if i had used this while pregnant, it would have,

good size bottle, dont think it needed the box though.

i would use it again but not every day

I've been using NIVEA Firming Body Oil Q10 for almost two weeks, I used the oil on my tummy area, I've had two pregnancies in quick succession so the skin in that area needed a little firming.
I wasn't aware of the benefits of Avocado Oil and Coenzyme Q10 for cell renewal or improving skin elasticity and firmness. But I have seen the results of using the oil and my skin feels softer and firmer, I definitely noticed that there was an improvement over the past two weeks.
I wouldn't have used Nivea products before but I will be looking at their Q10 range in future.
I think this product is really good value for money and the container size is easy to handle, even with oily hands. I wasn't aware that NIVEA Firming Body Oil Q10 is widely available in supermarkets and pharmacies. Ill be kerping an eye out for this range. I'll definately be using this product after the trial, I've seen improvements so far and think by using this oil for a longer period of time could improve even more.

Well I've been using the oil for the past couple of weeks and these are my findings.

I rubbed it into my expanding belly and other parts of my body that needs moisture. It was easy to go on and my skin felt soft and not tight after applying it. I use moisturiser all the time on my skin because it would be dry but after this it did feel soft and nourished.

I have only a few stretch marks on my hips (not caused by pregnancy) and I have noticed that they have faded, they are paler which is great!. So I would say there is an improvement on them. I will keeping using the oil on them so hopefully I won't get anymore after the birth of my baby with the help of this oil!

I have to say I wasn't really aware of the benefits. I knew that Avocado is good for the face because you would see on tv doing home facials using avocado. But didn't know about the Coenzyyme (never eve heard of it). Well in 3-4 months I will know if its worked on the firmness. Don't want more stretch marks!

I have not used other Nivea products. I got used to using the same products I've always used.

The packaging was nice. The bottle is a good size for storage, not to big, not too small but I would like it to have a curve of grip in the middle to hold it better as the when the oil is on your hands, it then gets on the bottle and is hard to hold.

I don't know what price it is but if is like the prices of the other Nivea moisturisers it is pretty reasonably priced.

I wasn't aware that it was available in supermarkets. I knew there is Nivea products in them but will have to check out to see can I get the oil once I've finished this bottle.

I will continue to use it because I think it is a good product. The only thing I would fault it for is that is doesn't dry too quickly so can't put clothes on straight away.

I was delighted to be picked for this product trial as I suffer from awful stretch marks but I also have really, really dry flakey skin on my legs and broken skin on my hands. I found it really easy to apply and having tried to apply it in the morning and at night time, I found night time better for me. Reason is, I'm a little time starved in the morning and understand that it naturally needs some time to sink in so I did it before bed (accepting that I'd need to wash my PJ's) and it worked a dream. The next morning my legs were lovely and soft and my hands really improve too. I did them a few nights in a row to get over the cracks and they are now all gone. My tip here is to wear surgical gloves in bed (I know it's not a good look but it really does the trick and saves the sheets).

I have noticed a reduction in my stretch marks which is great as I'd used Bio Oil before and didn't see an improvement even though it is ferociously more expensive than this.
 
I have used Nivea products before and have a trusted feeling about them. My mum used some of their products too and I remember them being around the house. I have always liked their packaging and this product was no exception.
 
I checked the price in the supermarket and saw that it is €10 which I think is very reasonable especially vs. other products like Bio Oil and Clarins which are meant to do similar jobs but at twice/treble the price. It's also handy that I can pick it up on my weekly shop so I don't have go out of my way to buy it.

I will definitely continue to use the product and not just for my stretch marks either!

I have found definately more moisture onmy skin and feeling a lot more nourished especially around the top of my legs, however slight improvement on strech marks!
Before I used this product i was not aware of the benefits of Avocado Oil & Coenzyme Q10 and they actually do work!
All my products are Nivea as they seem to be the only natural and cheap products on the market, Nivea i have found works on very sensitive skins including skin allergie rashes. I use the Daily Moisturiser from Nivea and the big blue Nivea Tub on the kids (4) they all have sensitive skins and it works wondering, I also use use Nivea Deodorant *48hr* one and it also works which i find amazing having extremely excessive sweating.
Bottle size is perfect for bedroom and bathroom.
I will definately continue to use this product.
Thank you Mummy Pages for using me as a Tester.

I used NIVEA Firming Body Oil Q10 Plus for 2 weeks once a day, usually in the mornings after the shower as it left the skin moisturised and soft for the day and for me a very big + was the fact that it wasn`t greasy on my body or hands which sometimes have happened with other body oils. I liked the fragrance of the oil which is very light and suited me since I don`t like heavy overpowering smells used in oils, creams, etc.

I have been using face masks containing avocado oil also before trying this particular product and I knew that my skin likes it so I was curious to see what effect NIVEA Firming Body Oil Q10 Plus will have and I definitely felt my skin getting smoother and softer already after 4-5 first days of using it and at the end of the 2 weeks I have to say that the result is pleasing me very much and I will definitely keep using the oil also in the future. I had tiny little stretch marks just under my breasts and after these 2 weeks using the oil also on them they have become slightly lighter in colour but haven`t vanished completely.

I already checked other products available from the NIVEA Body Q10 range in the pharmacy and supermarket and will definitely try them out, also the price is very attractive, especially in big supermarkets and comparing with similar products from other companies I`d say it is a definite value for money.

The body oil I used came in 200ml bottle and I found it absolutely handy, after 2 weeks using it daily it is still half full and definitely will last for another 2-3 weeks.

Good day fellow Nivea firming oil Q10 girls I had the pleasure of testing this product. I recently shed 4 stone in weight and as you can imagine I have damaged my skins elasticity and on top of that I am riddled in stretch marks from having my two wonderful boys. So when this opportunity arose I grabbed it with both hands as I was in a place were I would try anything if it meant lighter appearance to my stretch marks and possibly firmer skin.

To start off with the packaging it's informative, eye catching,and would stand out on any shelf. The bottle is a nice size can fit into your handbag ,travel bag with ease. If used correctly then you should have a lengthly time before you would need to replace it.

I am happy to report that on day one of using the product not only did liked that scent of the oil I loved how it felt on the skin. Unlike your typical baby oil or moisturisers as soon as I applied the Q10 to my skin it seemed to soak in really fast with no sticky or greasy feel afterwards. I could also feel how instantly my skin felt soft to the touch almost silky.

By the end of week one I noticed a healthier looking skin, lighter stretch marks and skin felt small bit firmer around arm area. my skin seemed to have new life . A lovely glow of healthy skin there was also a lovely sheen to my skin as opposed to the dull looking skin, The glow that this product leaves your skin is amazing. You can see how hydrated or fresh your skin looks and it definitely has people commenting on your fresh complexion.

I am now approaching the end of week two and I have plenty remaining to last a good week . I am enjoying not only loosing more weight but gaining new soft, glowing skin to compliment my waistline. Nivea firming body oil Q10 will definitely give other products out there that claim to do the same a run for their money. I will definitely keep using this product n the future. Q10 will have a permanent spot in my beauty bag.. Thank you Nivea and mummy pages for giving me this to try.

I have been using this product for nearly two weeks and I have been excerising while using it so I'm losing weight but I was finding that my stretchmarks where becoming more visible and specially on my hips and stomach. But over the last two weeks I have noticed my skin getting so soft and the strech marks are still there but not as bad. It is so handy to put on takes two minutes first thing in the morning and just before bed. Whats great is it leaves no marks on your clothes after putting it on, adsorbens into the skin so quickly.

Thanks again for choosing me to test this product. After 2 wks ive noticed a big difference with the softness of my skin. Ive used it all over my body and ive noticed that my stretch marks are really fading, especially seen by the beautician who was spray tanning me, she couldnt believe the difference! However i did find that it took a while to dry in or absorb so now I continue to use it at night time before bed.
I wasnt aware of the benefits of Avocado oil or Co enzyme q10 however i have been using Niveas day and night Q10 creams on my face and neck and the results are good too!!
Havnt seen this product in the supermarket yet but im sure like the rest of the nivea range it is reasonably priced. The packaging and bottle size are good too.
Yes I will continue to use this product and cant wait to see the end results on my stretch marks on my stomach.
