Soft Moisturiser Face Body & Hands

I’ve been using Nivia soft for decades. When I recently purchased the new vegan formula product, I thought nothing off it. However, the new vegan Niva soft is a completely different product, it may have the branding providence but it’s not the same! The vegan product has a different feel to it, made my eye sting and skin remained greasy throughout the day. Studying the ingredients of both: • 23 Common ingredients • 9 Ingredients removed compared to the original • 18 Ingredients added to the vegan formula Looking at the number of differences I would have said this couldn’t possibly be called the same Nivia Soft product and have the same quality and performance expectation. I’ve just been round my local supermarket and purchased as much old stock as I could! Further Details TLDR Common across the two formula: Aqua, Glycerin, Myristyl Alcohol, Alcohol Denat., Myristyl Myristate, Palmitic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Stearic Acid, Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides | Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Myristic Acid, Arachidic Acid, leic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol, Linalool, Citronellol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Limonene, Parfum Missing from the original formula: Paraffinum Liquidum, Butylene Glycol, Cera Microcristallina, Lanolin Alcohol (Eucerit®), Polyglyceryl-2 Caprate, Dimethicone, Carbomer, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Salicylate Added to the Vegan formula Cetearyl Glucoside, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Vegetable Oil, Cetyl Ricinoleate, Triisostearin, Sorbitan Stearate, Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Gellan Gum, Xanthan Gum, Lauric Acid, Disodium Cetearyl, Sulfosuccinate, Acetyl Cedrene, Citrus Aurantium Peel Oil, Terpineol, Lavandula Oil/Extract, Linalyl Acetate

This moisture was once perfect for the skin, I was unaware of the formula change and it caused me to develop severe acne and now I have acne scarring and pih (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) that’ll take a year to completely get rid of. Absolutely avoid this

I have been buying this moisturiser for the past ten years. The new formula is AWFUL. Have to reapply frequently as it makes your face feel dry when it’s soaked in. The consistency is thinner and it’s making my rosacea flare up and my face look redder and blotchy. So disappointing and now the quest begins to find a new replacement.
