Nivea Creme: Intense Hydration & Protection for All Skin Types, Face & Body 400 ml / 13.53 oz
The 400 ml tin is the household size. If a 250 ml tin disappears inside a month in your house, this is the one to buy.
The formula is the same classic creme: rich, deeply moisturising and suitable for all skin types and all ages. It works as a face moisturiser, a body cream and a hand cream, and it behaves like a moisture reservoir on skin that has been through cold weather or too much hot water. The scent is the one everyone recognises, which is part of why it keeps selling.
A little goes further than the size of the tin suggests, because the creme is dense and works best warmed between the hands before it goes on. Putting it on cold and thick is how people end up deciding it is greasy.
Winter dryness is the obvious use case, though it holds up year-round for anyone whose skin runs dry. Buying the large tin simply means running out less often.

Application tips
Warm it between the palms before it goes anywhere, since straight from a cold tub it drags rather than spreads. A small amount is enough.
Hands after washing up, shins in winter, cheeks at night if your skin runs dry. With a tin this size, decanting a little into a smaller pot for a bag saves dipping in with wet hands every time.
Results
Skin holds moisture for hours and does not need topping up after every hand wash. Cracked knuckles and dry shins settle over a few days of steady use.
The texture is thick and stays on the surface a while, which makes it useful in cold wind and useless under makeup.
One tin lasts a household most of a winter.
