Nivea's £4.95 firming body lotion that makes skin 'more elastic' and shoppers say 'absorbs really easily' way cheaper than Boots

If your dry limbs are in need of some TLC, run to Amazon

Let's be real. In the world of beauty, there are a never-ending number of body butters and lotions lining our shelves. It can be really hard to know what to reach out for, but shoppers at Amazon have discovered an affordable body lotion that's miles cheaper than buying it from Boots.

Low and behold: the NIVEA Firming Body Lotion Q10 (£4.95). Originally priced at £12 at Boots, this is a whopping saving for beauty lovers. You can also buy it from Superdrug and Ocado, but it's still more expensive to buy at £12.

It's packed with Argan Oil and has been specially designed to soothe dry skin, as well as leaving it energized and hydrated after use. On Amazon, the website says: " The skin firming body cream is infused with the NIVEA's powerful Q10 which is carefully blended with Argan Oil to firm and nourish the skin.

"The NIVEA body moisturiser makes skin noticeably firmer, provides elasticity after just 10 days of use and leaves skin energised and hydrated. Apply anti-wrinkle firming body lotion daily to your whole body to moisturise skin. Reapply on particularly dry areas when necessary."

So what have the customers been saying? Well, they have left plenty of glowing reviews online. The body lotion has garnered an impressive amount of 5* recommendations with 77% of customers leaving a 5 star approval.

One happy customer said: "Have been using this for years. It’s only when I stopped using it for a week that I noticed my skin wasn’t nearly as nourished and even firmer."

A second person commented: "Wow this firming lotion for 60+ is so good. I've been using this for 3 weeks and I've noticed a difference. The lotion feels like silk on your skin and does not leave any stickiness. It moisturise in your skin very quickly. Thank you."

A third person said: "Started using this cream 4 weeks ago, I’ve noticed my chest has become more plump, maybe from rubbing the cream in but I’ve definitely noticed a difference, and if your a fake tan fan I highly recommend this cream, it makes you fake tan last longer, no flaking or fading patchy, added bonus!"

One person who left a rather unhappy review said: "No improvement on firmness of skin at all, but if an area wasn't washed really carefully in the shower and some residue remained, it came off on white towels making them look as though they had filthy marks on.

"Also, as often happens, pump doesn't reach anywhere near the bottom of the plastic bottle, so the only way of getting the stuff out is to take the pump off and leave it upside down somewhere, to drain into a dish. No more than a basic moisturiser really."

You can buy the body lotion from Amazon here, or you can also buy it from Boots, Superdrug and Ocado.
