 | Nivea's Aqua Sensation is a light gel-cream, which cools and invigorates skin on contact. It is quickly absorbed and has an immediate wake-up effect, eliminating signs of tiredness and leaving skin looking fresh and radiant. It provides 24 hour hydration for smooth, pleasant feeling skin all day long. Ginseng has been added as an antioxidant to fight against free radical damage and cucumber refreshes and moisturises whilst magnesium invigorates.
Additionally Nivea's existing Aqua Sensation face cream has been re-formulated.
- GTC Tested: All agree that the eye cream is definitely a cream not a gel-cream, it felt light on application and rubbed in well. It is fragarnce free and not at all irritating even on sensitive skin. It imparts a pleasant cooling feeling and leaves skin looking conditioned.
- The face cream is slightly heavier and has a pleasant fresh fragrance. It rubbed in well but left skin slightly tacky. The cooling sensation is still there but is not so noticeable as with the eye cream.

- GTC tested: This cream felt nice and fresh to apply and did not have a tacky after feel. It is pale apricot in colour but I did not think that this really showed on the face. Perhaps longer term usage is needed to experience the benefits of this cream.
Avon say that Anew Alternative Intensive Eye Cream is their best dark circle fighter ever. It is formulated with eastern herbs and uses Glycation-Reversing Technology to activate the skin's own reparative process. Skin tone is evened and dark circles are reduced.
