I'm a nivea girl too :D .. but I prefer the nivea creme in the dark blue jar/tube,to the nivea soft. Its more creamy and luxurious and I use it as a base for my foundation . Honestly speaking its like a primer and after foundation application my face jus glows :) .. I use it as a mask too .I apply it thickly on my face then i cover my face with a towel that I've rinsed in moderately hot water and wait a few seconds before wiping off and it cleans my face beautifully..
