As an older male I find this product excellent for my skin after a shave. It feels good and keeps my face hydrated.

I do like the balm, however you can't open it with wet or soapy hands. I put rubber bands around the top and even then, when you've got balm on it it's impossible to close. I have found an old soap dispenser which is the right container. Stop trying to be cool, make something work in the situation i.e. the bathroom not the sales counter.

I'm an infrequent shaver, guess I'm lucky, as long as I don't want to grow a beard, but I only shave once every two weeks, so my skin is really sensitive when I shave. I have tried everything,and I mean everything.

Always come out in a rash, so shaving on the day means I'm just a red neck.

I saw an advert a year ago for this product and thought why not give it a try. Well I have never looked back, it works perfectly and it seems to work in a way where my sensitivity is actually getting less...

I've been using this product for years but why oh why change the bottle top - whoever signed this design off requires retraining - can only agree with other reviews - try it with the product on your hands to close the top - impossible - please Nivea go back to your old design of bottle / lid combination.

The new Nivea balm bottle top is completely impossible to get off/put on with wet hands. Does Nivea have a testing department?

I have used this product for more than thirty years and have always found it the best for me. However, I have just discovered that the design of the bottle has changed, the square lid having been replaced by a sleek, round one. I have read through all of the reviews on this matter and totally agree with the “wet hands” scenario. However, my issue is personal! I live with Multiple Sclerosis and reduced dexterity in my hands. The square lid was perfect fo...

How do you open this new top?

... the lid is a really bad design. It's round, smooth, and difficult to open. Please go back to the old style lid or redesign the new lid with some grip.

I`ll try something else next time.

It's hard to believe a company can make a change to a near perfect product. The new bottle top is almost impossible open/close with wet hands. It does make you wonder who tested this before putting it on the market. I'll be looking for a different balm unless they change back to the previous easy to open top.
