Nivea Extra Whitening Cell Repair Body Lotion sounded little over the top with the ‘Extra Whitening’ tag. Anyway, I picked it up because I needed a body lotion for summer. A summer body lotion is supposed to be really lightweight & low on fragrance. This body lotion complied with the factors. My hands are bit tanned. My face may not get much tanned because, I use regular de-tanning face packs, but hands & feet are mostly ignored, don’t you agree? So, I expected this brightening sorry ‘extra brightening -cell repairing ‘ body lotion to help me with my tan. Did it help me? You will get to know.

Ingredients
Packaging
The body lotion comes in a white opaque plastic bottle with blue filp top cap at the top. You can find all the information regarding the product at the back of the bottle. It is easy to pour out body lotion out of the bottle very easily. The quality of the bottle is sturdy & leak proof.
Fragrance & Texture
I want my body lotion to smell mild & feel light weight. This body lotion works very well in the department. It is mildly fra ranted runny lotion. It spreads well on the skin & gets absorbed with little massage. No stickiness to observe later.
My Experience
I have been using this lotion once daily after shower in the morning. It is a lightweight lotion which needs little rubbing to get absorbed. SPF 15 is alright if I am staying indoor. But if I am going out, SPF 15 can not protect my skin from the harmful sun rays for long. Hence I rub in a higher level SPF lotion.
In terms of moisturization this works fine. I do not need much moisture during summer. The consistency is just perfect for my skin. I do not need to put in more moisture until the next day.
Coming to the long term effect of the body lotion, Extra Whitening should not be taken that seriously. It did help to improve the texture of my arms & hands but did not brighten the skin as such. There is not much difference in the tanning.
I like to keep the smallest pack in my travel bag, since it is moisturizing without being oily.
