Diamonds & Pebbles: Empties: RIP Nivea Q10 Plus C Anti-Wrinkle + Energy Sleep Cream.

By this point, you guys know that my main skincare goal is to rid my face of hyperpigmentation and discolouration. You guys know I’m always on the lookout for products that I think will or that promise more radiant skin and less dark marks. When I first bought this Nivea Q10 Plus C Anti-Wrinkle + Energy Sleep Cream, I thought it would be the answer to all my skincare dreams and that by the time I had finished the tube, my face would be without dark marks and I would happily proclaim this cream as a total life changer… but alas, it just wasn’t to be.

Now, that’s not to say that this cream was completely useless. In fact, I think my goals and expectations were too great and too lofty for a humble sleep cream that didn’t even promise these results in the first place.

Will I buy again?

Yes and no. Aside from the fact that this cream didn’t appear to change my skin at all, I still loved it. I would put it on right after cleansing in the evening, and because I cleanse my skin as soon as I get home, it was the perfect light layer of moisturiser to tide my skin over until bedtime when I would apply my Nivea Pure & Natural Regenerating Night Cream. Honestly, I think that come winter I will rebuy this cream because it does help moisturise the skin and it did actually brighten my face and make me more of a glowy brown colour – goals. However, because I am on this No Dark Spots quests, instead of rebuying a mediocre product that doesn’t exactly bring me any closer to achieving my skincare goals, I would rather focus my time, effort and (most importantly) money on a product that will.
