I'm quite picky about how moisturisers smell, but this one worked for me. It has a subtle, neutral smell that won't clash with my daily fragrance. I didn't notice any firming effects, but perhaps I didn't use it for long enough. As a basic moisturiser, Nivea Q10 Firming Body Lotion does the job. It is light and hydrating, absorbing quickly into skin and leaving it soft and smooth.
