My Experience with Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Body Cream:

As I have mentioned earlier in the post, there is a packaging flaw with this tube. The flip open cap doesn’t shut very tightly, so this is not very travel friendly. For this very reason, a couple of tubes from this range were on discount (might be a batch manufacturing issue). The hole dispenses an apt amount of cream each time.

I was tempted by the words “glycolic fix.” I want to improve my skin texture, and thought that an enriched cream might help. This cream has a weird scent. Really! The first thing that hits you when you open the tube is the smell, which though not very unpleasant, feels bothersome.

The cream is of nice lightweight consistency. It is a very light cream, which simply gets absorbed into skin. You apply it and your skin just soaks it up. It is great as a day-time lotion/cream where you don’t want greasy feeling. It soothes parched skin and imparts smooth and supple look. If you have flakiness, this will definitely help in treating it.

The effects however are short lived and you would need to reapply every 2-3 hours if you have dry skin. It is not intensely nourishing, not the kind of cream that makes its presence felt the whole day by virtue of the great moisturization it can provide throughout the day. This is good for normal-oily skin, as a regular body cream to achieve smooth and supple skin. I emphasize on the word “smooth”because my skin certainly looked smoother.

I apply it after showering, when my skin is still moist, and this body cream goes on so easily. My skin laps it up! And since it gets absorbed in seconds, I can even get ready and step out without it feeling heavy or uncomfortable on me.

Pros of Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Body Cream:

• Nice packaging (my tube came with a manufacturing defect).
• Lightweight.
• Non-greasy texture.
• Great for daily use.
• Makes skin smooth and supple.
• Gets rid of flakiness.
• Gets absorbed into the skin within seconds.

Cons of Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Body Cream:

• Not very nourishing.
• Won’t be good for dry skin/winters.
• Weird scent.
• Not long staying.

Would I Repurchase/Recommend Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Body Cream?
I am not extremely fond of it; however, you may try it. I won’t repurchase.
