Customer Review: This Stuff is Surprisingly Good!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I have never liked liquid shower soaps. Always been a bar soap man. I don't like liquid shower soaps because they usually smell like flowers, or fruits and vegetables, they typically lather very poorly unless you use one of those little net scrubby things, and they leave your skin feeling slimey.
I was genuinely intrigued when I saw this product. Nivea has a good reputation for skin products for men, so I thought I would take a chance. The result is that I actually enjoy using this soap. I may not use it every day, but I could see myself using it most of the time.
I think it smells great. It leaves a very subtle masculine scent on your skin. My wife very much likes the scent. It's not too overpowering like you've been marinating in it. Just enough to improve the air that you walk though. When you're washing with it, it almost has a menthol quality about it that I guess could be invigorating for some people. The scent it leaves behind does not smell like menthol, however.
I think it cleans well and leaves a not-so-slimey finish. I don't feel like I need to rinse off for an hour after using it. I think it also lathers rather well without using anything to generate bubbles.
My only concern is that I have to use a palm full to lather my whole body. The bottle is pretty big, but I have a feeling this bottle will last me 2-3 weeks.
If you have never been a fan of liquid shower soap and are curious about this product, you should probably buy a smaller portion locally, and if you like it then order the multi pack from Amazon.
Customer Review: Nivea Nice, but not minty fresh

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Nivea for Men is a line of products that endeavor to sell products that would ordinarily not appeal to men, to men.
Energizing Face Scrub
Face Care Revitalizing Lotion Q10
Revitalizing Eye Cream
You get the idea. Sure, they sell all sorts of shaving related products too, but this is a line that purports to be for men who are comfortable with their desire to not look old, and not smell like a bordello while doing it.
This product, which purports to have Mint Extracts, is actually a classic men's fragrance liquid soap. Thick. A little goes a long way. But whatever this mint extract might be, the actual thing that gets you tingling is menthol. Listed right on the label.
Is it the nicest body wash I've ever used? Well, considering I usually get mine at a discount store, then yes. It is as nice as the stuff I had when I stayed at a high end hotel a while back.
Is it traditional Nivea? Absolutely. First class all the way. Would I recommend it to anyone who works for in a restricted scent environment? No way. It's not overpowering. But it is nearly everlasting. Which, if you're a young fellow with a active lifestyle, would be a good thing.
Manly, but I liked it too.
One star off for the mint/menthol confusion.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I used the Nivea body wash with my Axe detailing tool (basically a scrubber marketed towards the male demographic) and found it to give a significantly better wash than anything I have tried in the past. I have used Axe's own body wash and found that to have a pungent odor, albeit not too nasty, it just smelled too musky. The Nivea body wash had the same type of fragrance as the Nivea for Men shaving gel and the Nivea for Men shaving conditioner used with the Philips Norelco 8040X Nivea rotary shaver.
Pros: The body wash has mint extracts, so you can feel a cool and refreshing tingle on your skin. The fragrance is definitely suited for men, as it resembles a light but noticeable scent typically used for after-shaves. I normally shower at night before I go to sleep and I can still smell a hint of the Nivea body wash in the morning. It moisturizes your skin and cleans it without dry out the top layer. Used in conjunction with a scrubber, like the Axe tool, it leaves your skin silky smooth. The packaging is attractive and makes it easy to dispense the liquid.
Cons: Nothing other than the body wash liquid doesn't seem to foam up as easily as other body washes.
Customer Review: Another Great Nivea Product

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I've been using some of Nivea for Men's other products for several years including their shaving cream and after shave balm, so I was happy they have decided to sell body wash in the US. Like any other personal care products, Men's body wash has quite a lot of hype from certain brands like Axe and Old Spice to name a few that in many cases adds up to fairly expensive liquid soap in a bottle.
Nivea for Men Energy Body Wash has a pleasant smell. Mint is an unusual fragrance, but it manages with other fragrances to smell masculine. It rinses fine leaving the skin feeling clean. The 16.9 oz is larger than other brands, so it will last quite a while. I have sensitive, oily, and sweaty skins so I usually prefer soap that includes glycerin, something that as far as I could tell, was not included in this body wash ingredients. So far though, I don't think it has bothered my skin. I plan to try some of Nivea's other body wash varieties.
Customer Review: Not for me

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The label promises not to dry your skin, and to leave you feeling "energized", and for some values of "energized" I suppose this product succeeds in that. No "truth in advertising" laws are broken.
In fact, far from drying, I just found this product terribly greasy. It left behind an oily residue that would not rinse off with hot water. Furthermore, the "energy" is provided by a heavy dose of menthol. If you can imagine the sensation of covering yourself from head to toe in Vick's Vap-o-Rub, you can imagine the sort of energy you would feel with this body wash. Some sensitive parts of my anatomy felt downright uncomfortable. The product also smells strongly of Old Spice. Luckily, there was still a bar of soap in the shower, and I was able to wash this glop off using it; no permanent damage was done, but I won't be using it again.
Not recommended, unless that Vap-o-Rub bath idea sounds like a good plan to you.
