Totally agree with you CraftyFreak.
Not sure how a rubbing a cream on my tummy can made me look like the model in the ad in just 4 weeks.
The first ad was stupid and pretty much made me angry. the line of "we all remember how good we felt in our silhouette"
What a stupid line! It implied that all skinny women who got married were still skinny and should use the cream to keep their 'wedding day feel'...how offensive to us all "normal" women, and women who are not married! If they use that one then it shows that Nivea is shallow-minded (I'm not saying that they are, just that ad implies it)
The second one was much better, but I am never convinced by stupid claims like the one they are trying to sell. Certainly won't be buying it...
Sfsun75 you hit the nail right on the head. It just makes us normal women feel like putting a bag over our heads! I can't imagine how a cream with white tea and anise could tone our body in 4 weeks? Usually only exercise can do that...
Also, they showed her perfect at the beginning and perfect at the end so why does she need to use it?? I couldn't see any part of her that needed toning in the first place. They should have put a chubby wobbly thighs woman on there and then shown us how toned she was at the end...The ad implies that everything goes downhill from marriage.
They didn't give us a price for it so i think it's going to be expensive.
I won't be buying it unless they get a BBW on the ad or someone who has a bit of untoned skin... why don't they put REAL people in these commercials to show us how it works. No point using miss body beautiful on there, it doesn't show us a thing.
A plastic surgeon once told me that good old (and cheap) Sorbolene cream will do exactly the same as what the expensive product do. It's not the cream that will tone and tighten (reduce cellulite etc) but the actual rubbing and massaging of the skin. So I wouldn't even bother wasting my money trying this product. Don't be conned by advertising ladies....
And I agree, second ad was much better than the first!
