The generous size allows for liberal application on both face and body. It absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling hydrated.
ConsThe scent is quite strong. It's not purely powdery, with hints of citrus, but it can be overwhelming. I can't seem to get used to it no matter how often I apply. As someone with extremely dry skin, I often experience tingling with products, and this one is no exception - there's a slight burning sensation after application.

Doesn't cause any allergic reactions and is quite gentle on the skin. 2. Provides a decent level of hydration. It has a slightly thick but easily spreadable matte milk texture that feels moist and absorbs quickly. 3. Recommended for those who prefer a mild moisturizer with adequate hydration that clings to the body, and for those who need less oiliness.
Cons1. Among all the body creams I've used, the only memorable feature is its overwhelmingly strong powder scent, which can cause nausea. I'm not usually sensitive to fragrances, but this one is intensely potent every time I apply it, sometimes causing dizziness. 2. While it does have a sinking-in feeling when applied, in my opinion, the moisturizing power is below average, lasting power is low, skin soothing effect is poor to below average, and it can cause a slight burning sensation on sensitive or irritated areas. 3. It seems to focus on being 'inoffensive', which might suit those looking for a mild daily body cream. However, for those seeking significant moisture, skin softening, clear soothing effects, and relief from various dry skin conditions, eczema, or hives, I wouldn't strongly recommend this as the best option. 4. Recently, when I ran out of my usual body cream, I reluctantly used a NiveaX Intensive Body Emulsion that was lying around unused. Surprisingly, despite the different texture (NiveaX being less thick and easier to squeeze out), the moisturizing power was similar, but with much less fragrance and irritation. It also had better softening effects and longer-lasting hydration. As someone with extremely sensitive and typically dry to very dry skin, I usually avoid Johnson's, Neutrogena, or CetaphilX-like emulsions, preferring cosmeceutical brands. However, experiences like this remind me why well-known, long-established brands have their reputation. Even though my skin condition has improved from extremely dry, and I can now use products with moderate hydration comfortably, I found Replika to be really disappointing for its price.
TipDon't expect too much in terms of hydration. It's all relative - even products with the lowest moisturizing power often have reviews saying they're great for hydration. Those are just from people who happen to find the product suitable for them. The truly exceptional creams are less mainstream and more likely to be shared through word-of-mouth in patient forums, with reviews that sound almost like testimonials. When you look at reviews overall, you can get a general idea, but this cream was a hasty purchase... and unsurprisingly, the satisfaction level is low. For those like me with problematic skin, we need to test various products ourselves, discontinuing use immediately if something doesn't suit us (a dermatologist told me there's no such thing as a 'purging period'), and switch to different products. Through multiple tests, we develop an eye for what works for us and what ingredients to avoid. What's a miracle cream for one person could be a hellish experience for another. Just because a product is vegan, natural, or 'free-from' doesn't mean it won't cause allergies or irritation, and conversely, a product with a few supposedly harmful ingredients might work perfectly for you.

It absorbs better than a cream, making application a breeze. The large size is convenient. The lightweight texture means even the tube version isn't difficult to apply.
ConsSince the reformulation, the scent is so overpowering that I can't use it on my child. It's not just strong, it's eye-watering. Please make sure to buy the version before the reformulation...
TipI recommend purchasing the version before the reformulation
