I would say go with the face cream. Having lived in europe before, the air and cold is quite harsh during winter.

for nivea, the lotion don't help much cus it'll dry out after a while. we used the nivea cream that comes in a tin. The bodyshop's body butter thing isn't so bad either. If you're considering price, it's like around rm 50+ if i'm not mistaken. I don't know about nivea.
