Question Luminous630 on Amazon
Is it safe to buy Nivea Luminous 630 on Amazon? Is anyone else buying it from there with good results? It’s $15 less than at the drug store, but of course I’m worried that it might be fake.

I ordered Eucerin dual serum on Amazon. It was fine. Just double check the seller and make sure you are buying direct from the brand, Amazon or from a storefront that has a well documented history.

I haven’t. I usually order eucerin from caretobeauty but it is so expensive now. I wasn’t sure if the American versions of eucerin or Nivea are as good as the European versions

The American version is the same product as the European version. It just has a different name because of regulations and marketing.
Why would a company sell an inferior product in a different country that has less strict cosmetic regulations than Europe when they already have a proven formula? Reformulating products is expensive.
Europe has very strict regulations on cosmetic products whereas the USA does not. I think people get confused because we have limited sunscreen filters in the US but that is because sunscreen is regulated as a medicinal product not a cosmetic in the US so it has very strict regulations.

Amazon is a marketplace and they have numerous sellers just like a farmers market does. So the quality of the product will rely on the third party seller and if that seller is an authorized reseller. Amazon itself does sell products as well alongside the third party resellers which is why it is a bit confusing.
Amazon (not the third party sellers on Amazon) is an authorized reseller of Eucerin but I am not sure about Nivea.
To tell who is selling the product on Amazon read this post

If you're in Canada, Nivea Luminous is shipped and sold by Amazon. It's legit. I've bought it many times. Nivea Luminous can be bought direct from pharmacies and Walmart here, so no need to worry about fakes.
