Key Takeaway
BigBasket.pk doesn't stock Nivea Soft Cream, so here's an honest look at its real market price range, counterfeit risks, and genuine alternatives we do sell.
BigBasket.pk does not currently stock Nivea Soft Cream, so we can't hand you a verified Nivea Soft Cream price in Pakistan the way we can for products actually in our warehouse — and we're not going to publish a guessed number just to rank for the search. What follows is an honest breakdown of what this cream actually is, why its price swings so much across Pakistan's general retail market, how to spot a counterfeit if you buy it elsewhere, and which price-verified, Cash-on-Delivery moisturizers on BigBasket.pk do the same daily-hydration job.
If brand trust matters more than this exact product, we also stock genuine Nivea Men face washes with checked pricing — a safer way to buy real Nivea than an unverified jar of Soft Cream from an untracked seller.
What Is Nivea Soft Cream, Exactly?
Nivea Soft Cream (sold in Pakistan as Nivea Creme Soft) is a lightweight, fast-absorbing moisturizer built on jojoba oil and vitamin E rather than the heavier mineral-oil base of the classic blue-tin Nivea Creme. It's marketed as multi-purpose — face, hands, elbows, even body — which is why it sells well as a one-jar, do-everything cream in general stores rather than as a targeted skincare product.
The lighter oil-in-water formulation is the whole selling point: it sinks in within a minute or two and leaves less of a greasy film than the original Nivea Creme, which is part of why it's popular in humid, coastal cities. That also means it's a basic hydrator rather than a treatment cream — it doesn't carry actives like niacinamide, salicylic acid, or ceramides, so it won't address acne, dark spots, or barrier repair the way a formulated product such as CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion can.
Why We Can't Quote a Verified Nivea Soft Cream Price
We're upfront about this: BigBasket.pk does not stock Nivea Soft Cream, so any specific rupee figure you see for it elsewhere online is not something we can verify from our own inventory. It sits in Pakistan's general retail and pharmacy channel — supermarkets, chemists, kiryana stores — where pricing shifts with jar size, city, and how many hands the stock passed through before reaching the shelf.
That price variation is actually the bigger risk than the number itself. A product moving through multiple unofficial distribution layers is easier to counterfeit or re-price than one sold through a single verified retailer, which is exactly why every product we do list — like Pond's Super Light Gel at a fixed PKR 1,250 — carries one checked price and ships with Cash on Delivery, no bargaining or guessing required.
If your goal is simply a light daily face cream at a fair, confirmed price, you don't need to chase down Soft Cream specifically — the alternatives further down this page do the same job at a price we stand behind.
The Counterfeit Risk With Products We Don't Stock
Nivea is one of the most counterfeited skincare brands in Pakistan's open market, precisely because it's cheap, recognizable, and sold everywhere — including outlets with no accountability for what's actually in the jar. If you do go looking for Nivea Soft Cream outside a verified retailer, treat these as minimum checks: a legible batch code stamped (not loosely printed) on the base of the jar, crisp rather than blurry or misaligned logo printing, an intact inner foil seal under the cap, and a texture that's smooth and uniform rather than separated or watery.
- Avoid sellers offering it far below the typical general-retail price — the most common counterfeit tell.
- Be cautious of loose, unsealed jars sold by weight or repacked into smaller containers.
- Check that the batch code on the outer box matches the one stamped on the jar itself.
This is exactly the risk we remove by only listing products we've sourced and verified ourselves — every item in BigBasket.pk's skin care section ships as the genuine, unopened product at the price shown.

Genuine Nivea Products You Can Buy on BigBasket.pk
While we don't carry Soft Cream, we do stock genuine Nivea Men items with verified pricing and nationwide Cash on Delivery — useful if brand trust matters more to you than this specific product. Nivea Men Bright Face Wash 150ml is priced at PKR 950 (down from PKR 1,250), formulated to brighten and control oil for men dealing with Pakistan's sun exposure and tan. Nivea Men Dark Spot Face Wash, priced at PKR 5,150, targets post-breakout dark marks and uneven tone with regular use.
Both are cleansers, not moisturizing creams, so they cover a different step of the routine than Soft Cream would — but they're a straightforward way to get authentic Nivea into your routine without the sourcing risk described above. Browse the rest of the range on the Nivea brand page.
Better Light-Moisturizer Alternatives We Actually Stock
If what you're really after is a light, quick-absorbing daily cream — the job Soft Cream is bought for — three products in our catalogue do it with a verified price. Pond's Super Light Gel (50g), priced at PKR 1,250 (down from PKR 1,900), is the closest match: an oil-free, water-based gel that absorbs fast and suits oily, combination, and humid-climate skin without pilling under makeup or sunscreen.
CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion (87ml), priced at PKR 2,950 (down from PKR 3,900), is a step up in formulation — three essential ceramides plus hyaluronic acid in an MVE-technology lotion that supports the skin barrier over 24 hours, better suited to normal-to-dry or sensitised skin than a basic multi-purpose cream. For extra hydration underneath either one, The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (30ml) at PKR 3,890 (down from PKR 5,000) plumps skin with multiple molecular weights of hyaluronic acid before you seal it in.
None of these claim to be a Soft Cream clone — they're simply verified, price-checked products that solve the same light, everyday moisturizer need without the sourcing questions.
Choosing the Right Light Cream for Pakistan's Climate
Climate should drive this decision more than brand loyalty. In Karachi's year-round humidity, a heavier cream — including the classic Nivea Creme — often feels tacky by midday; a gel-based option like Pond's Super Light Gel sits better under sunscreen and doesn't trap sweat. In Lahore and Islamabad's dry winters, that same light gel can feel insufficient once temperatures drop, and a ceramide-based lotion like CeraVe's does more to stop the tightness and flaking that dry winter air causes, especially on wheatish and tan skin tones that show dehydration as dullness rather than obvious redness.
For deeper or acne-prone skin dealing with post-mark discoloration on top of dryness, pair a light moisturizer with a targeted active rather than expecting one multi-purpose cream to do both jobs — The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is built for exactly that layering approach. Whatever you land on, match the texture to the season and city you're actually living in, not the jar someone else swears by.
Common Mistakes
- Buying Nivea Soft Cream from unverified street vendors or unbranded online listings just because the price looks lower.
- Assuming any light white cream in a similar blue-and-white jar is genuine Nivea.
- Skipping the batch code and expiry check on general-retail Nivea products before buying.
- Using a heavy, occlusive cream in Karachi's humidity when a lighter gel-based moisturizer would sit better.
- Not patch-testing a new face cream before applying it all over, especially on sensitised or acne-prone skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of Nivea Soft Cream in Pakistan?+
BigBasket.pk doesn't stock Nivea Soft Cream, so we can't give a verified price for it. Prices vary widely across general stores and pharmacies depending on jar size and seller, so confirm with an authorized retailer rather than trusting a random online listing. For a light, price-verified moisturizer instead, we sell Pond's Super Light Gel at PKR 1,250 and CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion at PKR 2,950, both with fixed nationwide Cash on Delivery pricing.
Does BigBasket.pk sell Nivea Soft Cream?+
No, we don't currently stock Nivea Soft Cream. We do sell genuine Nivea Men Bright Face Wash (PKR 950) and Nivea Men Dark Spot Face Wash (PKR 5,150), which you can browse along with the full range on the Nivea brand page.
Is Nivea Soft Cream good for oily or humid skin in Karachi?+
Soft Cream is marketed as lighter than the classic Nivea Creme, but since we don't stock it we can't personally vouch for how it performs. For Karachi's humidity, a water-based gel moisturizer like Pond's Super Light Gel (PKR 1,250) is a verified alternative that absorbs quickly without a greasy film.
How can I tell if a Nivea product bought locally is genuine?+
Check the batch code on both the jar and outer box, look for crisp, unblurred packaging print, confirm the inner foil seal is intact, and be wary of prices well below typical general-retail rates. For a guaranteed-authentic Nivea purchase, buy our verified Nivea Men Bright Face Wash or Dark Spot Face Wash with Cash on Delivery.
What's a good alternative to Nivea Soft Cream for daily face moisturizing?+
Pond's Super Light Gel (PKR 1,250) is the closest match for a light, fast-absorbing daily cream, while CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion (PKR 2,950) suits drier or more sensitised skin with its ceramide-and-hyaluronic-acid formula. Both are genuine, price-verified, and ship nationwide with Cash on Delivery.
Is Nivea Soft Cream the same as the classic Nivea Creme in the blue tin?+
No. Soft Cream uses a lighter oil-in-water formula with jojoba oil and vitamin E that absorbs faster and feels less greasy, while the classic blue-tin Nivea Creme is a heavier, more occlusive glycerin-and-mineral-oil cream better suited to very dry skin or harsh winters. We don't stock either directly, but CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion (PKR 2,950) is a verified alternative for the heavier, barrier-repair end of that spectrum.
The Short Version
TL;DR: BigBasket.pk doesn't stock Nivea Soft Cream, so we don't have a verified PKR price for it — treat any number you find online as unverified and buy only from authorized retailers if you want it specifically. If you want a light, non-greasy daily moisturizer with real Cash-on-Delivery pricing, try Pond's Super Light Gel or browse genuine Nivea products on BigBasket.pk.
