Key Takeaway
BigBasket.pk doesn't stock Nivea moisturizer, so there's no verified PKR price to quote — here's why local prices vary and the genuine CeraVe alternative we do sell.
BigBasket.pk does not stock a Nivea moisturizer right now, so there's no verified in-house price we can honestly quote for one — the only Nivea items on our shelves are the Men's face wash range, a different product entirely. If you typed "nivea moisturizer price in pakistan" hoping for a straight rupee figure on Nivea Soft, Nivea Creme or Nivea Q10, the honest answer is that price varies wildly by seller and is a poor guide to authenticity in Pakistan's open market.
Below we explain what's actually in the Nivea moisturizer range, why local pricing is so inconsistent, and which moisturizer we do stock with a confirmed price and Cash on Delivery nationwide — CeraVe, a dermatologist-developed line built on the same ceramide science skincare experts recommend.
Why We Can't Quote a Nivea Moisturizer Price
We're upfront about this because guessing a price would be worse than not quoting one at all: Nivea moisturizer — whether it's the Soft light moisturizer, the classic blue-tin Creme, or the Q10 anti-wrinkle range — is not on BigBasket.pk's shelves today. The only genuine Nivea items we currently sell are from the men's face-wash range: the Nivea Men Bright Face Wash 150ml (PKR 950) and the Nivea Men Dark Spot Face Wash (PKR 5150). Both are real, verified-authentic products with fixed prices and Cash on Delivery — but a face wash cleanses skin and rinses off, while a moisturizer is a leave-on cream meant to sit on skin for hours and lock in hydration. They solve different problems, so one can't stand in for the other's price or its job on your skin. You can browse the full Nivea brand page to see exactly what we carry before assuming a price. If your real intent was "a trustworthy, reasonably priced moisturizer," skip ahead — we stock a dermatologist-grade one with an honest PKR price tag further down this page.
What's Actually in Nivea's Moisturizer Range
Nivea's moisturizer lineup sold across South Asia typically includes several distinct products, and knowing which one someone means changes the price entirely. Nivea Soft is a light, fast-absorbing moisturizing cream with jojoba oil and vitamin E, sold in tubs for face, hands and body, aimed at people who dislike a greasy after-feel. Nivea Creme, the classic blue tin, is a much thicker, occlusive all-purpose cream built on Nivea's original Eucerit base, marketed for very dry skin, elbows, heels and even hair-taming. The Nivea Body Lotion range (Nourishing, Express Hydration, Cocoa Butter) comes in pump bottles and leans on glycerin and hyaluronic acid for faster, lighter hydration over larger body areas. Nivea Q10 Power adds coenzyme Q10 and creatine and is positioned as an anti-wrinkle firming cream for mature skin. There's also a dedicated Nivea Men moisturizing lotion, separate from the face washes we actually stock. Formats range from 30ml travel tubs to 400ml-plus family pump bottles, and each size and variant carries its own price — which is exactly why a single "Nivea moisturizer price in Pakistan" figure is misleading without knowing the specific product and size. Anyone quoting you one flat number, without asking which variant you mean, is likely guessing.
Why Local Nivea Prices Swing So Much — and the Counterfeit Risk
Search Pakistan's open markets and marketplaces for Nivea moisturizer and you'll see wildly different prices for what's supposedly the same jar — that gap is the biggest red flag, not a bargain. Nivea products sold in Pakistan's general stores and unregulated online listings are frequently grey-market imports or, worse, counterfeits repackaged in similar tins with slightly off printing, thinner cream texture, a weaker or chemical-heavy scent, and missing or duplicated batch codes. Karachi's humid climate and Lahore or Islamabad's dry winters both push demand for moisturizer up seasonally, and sellers with no accountability raise prices opportunistically or cut real product with cheap fillers to protect margin. Before paying for any Nivea moisturizer locally, check the batch code, inspect the seal for tampering, and be suspicious of any price that seems unusually low for the claimed size — genuine imported skincare rarely gets cheaper than the brand's own regional pricing. If a seller can't tell you where the stock was imported from or won't offer any recourse after delivery, that uncertainty is the real cost, even if the sticker price looks attractive. This is exactly the kind of authenticity risk BigBasket.pk avoids by only listing products we can verify end-to-end.

CeraVe: The Moisturizer We Actually Stock, With a Real Price
Instead of a Nivea moisturizer, BigBasket.pk stocks the CeraVe range — developed with dermatologists and built around three essential ceramides (1, 3 and 6-II) plus hyaluronic acid and MVE technology that releases hydration over 24 hours rather than sitting on top of skin like a heavy occlusive. For an all-purpose option that works on both face and body, the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, Body and Face Moisturizer is priced at PKR 4800 (down from PKR 5000). If you just want to try the texture first, the CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion 87ml is our smallest and most affordable entry point at PKR 2950. For a step up in richness, the classic CeraVe Moisturizing Cream 236ml is PKR 5450, and households that go through moisturizer fast can size up to the 340g tub at PKR 7950. For the face specifically, CeraVe splits day and night: the AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion (60ml, PKR 5350) is lightweight for daytime, and the PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion (60ml, PKR 5400) supports the skin barrier overnight. Every listing ships with Cash on Delivery to Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and nationwide, and the price you see is what you'll actually pay — no open-market guesswork.
Choosing the Right Size and Formula for Pakistan's Climate
Which CeraVe product to pick depends more on your climate and skin than on brand loyalty. In humid Karachi, a lighter option like the Daily Moisturizing Lotion tends to feel more comfortable day-to-day than a heavy cream, since sweat and humidity already add moisture to the skin's surface. In Lahore and Islamabad's dry, cold winters, the thicker Moisturizing Cream does more to prevent the tightness and flaking that wheatish and tan skin tones often show first around the cheeks and knuckles. For combination or acne-prone skin, keep a rich night formula off active breakout areas until inflammation settles, since ceramide creams are meant to repair barrier function, not treat active acne. Anyone with very dry, eczema-prone, or sensitive skin, including deeper skin tones prone to visible ashiness when dehydrated, generally does better starting with the plain Moisturizing Cream before trying lighter lotions, since it holds moisture longest between applications. Apply within a few minutes of a shower or face wash while skin is still slightly damp; this is what actually determines how well any moisturizer, Nivea or CeraVe, performs, far more than the brand name on the jar.
Common Mistakes
- Assuming one flat "Nivea moisturizer price" applies to every variant and size — Soft, Creme, Q10 and Body Lotion are priced differently.
- Buying suspiciously cheap Nivea jars from open markets without checking the batch code or seal.
- Confusing a Nivea face wash with a Nivea moisturizer — they treat different skin needs and aren't interchangeable.
- Picking a heavy cream for humid Karachi weather (or a light lotion for dry Islamabad winters) and blaming the product when it feels wrong.
- Applying moisturizer to bone-dry skin instead of slightly damp skin, which cuts its effectiveness regardless of brand.
- Ignoring ceramide-based alternatives like CeraVe just because they're less familiar locally than Nivea.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does BigBasket.pk sell Nivea moisturizer?+
No, BigBasket.pk does not currently stock Nivea moisturizer (Soft, Creme, Q10 or Body Lotion). We do stock two Nivea Men face washes, the Bright Face Wash 150ml (PKR 950) and the Dark Spot Face Wash (PKR 5150), but a face wash is not a substitute for a leave-on moisturizer.
Why do Nivea moisturizer prices vary so much between shops in Pakistan?+
Most Nivea moisturizer sold locally comes through unregulated grey-market imports rather than one authorized channel, so pricing depends entirely on which importer and seller you're buying from, and counterfeits with off-spec pricing circulate too. That inconsistency is exactly why we don't list a product we can't verify end-to-end.
What's a genuine alternative to Nivea moisturizer that BigBasket.pk stocks?+
CeraVe, a dermatologist-developed line with ceramides 1, 3 and 6-II plus hyaluronic acid. The entry point is the CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion 87ml at PKR 2950, and the versatile CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, Body and Face Moisturizer is PKR 4800.
How can I tell if a Nivea moisturizer sold locally is fake?+
Check the batch code, inspect the tin or tube seal for tampering, and be wary of texture that feels thinner or a scent that's noticeably chemical compared to genuine Nivea. Unusually low prices for the claimed size are also a strong warning sign rather than a bargain.
Is CeraVe better than Nivea for dry skin in Pakistan's winters?+
For barrier repair specifically, yes, CeraVe's ceramide-and-MVE formula is designed to release hydration over 24 hours, which suits Lahore and Islamabad's dry winters better than a light lotion. The CeraVe Moisturizing Cream 236ml (PKR 5450) or the 340g tub (PKR 7950) are the thicker options built for that.
Can I order CeraVe with Cash on Delivery anywhere in Pakistan?+
Yes, every CeraVe listing on BigBasket.pk ships with Cash on Delivery to Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and nationwide, with the price you see at checkout being the price you pay.
The Short Version
TL;DR: BigBasket.pk doesn't stock Nivea moisturizer, so there's no verified price to quote — local market prices for it vary wildly and carry real counterfeit risk. We do stock the genuine, dermatologist-developed CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, Body and Face Moisturizer from PKR 2950 for the smallest size, with Cash on Delivery nationwide — browse the full Skin Care category for more.
