The cream is contained in a round bottom large enough pot. On first use you have to open a plastic film which ensures hygiene and freshness ireprochable. I do not know how to describe it but the smell is definitely that of a nivea product. It is signed Nivea. No doubt. One likes or dislikes but impossible to ignore. The cream itself is a little fat to the application, rather "heavy" but fortunately this impression fades very rapidemlent. I have sensitive skin and I have felt no itch, no irritation. I feel that my skin is adequately protected from external aggression while not neglecting the contact comfort. A pleasant cream that sits next to my usual cream and with whom I alternerais the application in order not too used to my skin cream
