For those who value cosmetics that deliver results rather than promises, the verdict this year was placed firmly in professional hands. We are especially proud that, after rigorous efficacy testing, NiKEL received the prestigious title of The Best Croatian Brand. This award confirms that its benefits are recognised by medical specialists, even in exceptionally strong competition.
The most reputable dermatologists, nutritionists and aesthetic surgeons gathered once again for Estetica Premium Product 2025, the only Croatian beauty competition where winners are selected exclusively by experts.
WORD FROM THE DERMATOLOGISTS
Jolanda Kanižaj Rajković, MD, Specialist in Dermatovenerology
NiKEL – WINNER – “The passion of Mirjana Brlečić, MPharm, for her products is evident in every formula, in the branding and on the website. I value the personal approach, professionalism and accessibility, all of which are reflected in the effectiveness of the products themselves. I also appreciate that each product on the website is paired with complementary care suggestions. In addition to being produced in Croatia, NiKEL uses plants from our region – rose, daisy, immortelle – which, in my opinion, makes it the leading Croatian brand.”
Nevia Delalle, MD, Specialist in Dermatology and Venereology
THE BEST CROATIAN PRODUCTS – NiKEL – “A constant pursuit of perfectly effective ingredients. Research into their composition and efficacy is Mirjana Brlečić’s mission. NiKEL was created from the desire to develop natural skincare that combines pharmaceutical expertise with the healing herbs of the Croatian Mediterranean, without unnecessary additives or preservatives. The brand maintains consistent quality, follows the latest trends and continually introduces something new and surprising. Since 2004, NiKEL has been the most awarded Croatian cosmetic brand, with more than 50 gold medals from innovation competitions across Europe, Asia and America.”
Jelena Jakić, MD, Specialist in Dermatology and Venereology
THE BEST CROATIAN PRODUCT – “NiKEL stands out for its cosmetic laboratory and strong pharmaceutical foundation. The focus is on innovative formulas, often featuring patented plant extracts. The products are typically positioned in a higher price range as dermocosmetics designed to address specific skin concerns. NiKEL is particularly recognised for its facial oils, serums and targeted treatments. It is an excellent choice for those seeking high-quality, scientifically supported natural cosmetics to help manage specific skin issues.”
User experiences
Skin condition (after an allergy of a couple of months) this cream solved the visible renewal in a few days. I recommend it to everyone who has the same or a similar problem because after visiting a dermatologist and using various creams I took matters into my own hands and thank God solved the problem (no redness and dried parts on the face). Thank you!
I have successfully treated flaky skin, I am very pleased!
I use Carnosine Anti-Wrinkle Cream, Rose Cream and Probiotic Cream, I am very satisfied!
The diagnosis for my skin is palmoplantar pustulosis (Pustulosis Palmoplantaris PPP). I have blisters on the palms of my hands that burst and are very painful. My quality of life is reduced because of that, especially since my profession is playing a musical instrument. I was patiently treated for 5 years with many preparations, to no avail, my palms never stopped being sick. I often felt like I had no fists. Then I came across Nikel Probiotic Cream. For the first time in many years, the skin is cleansed, the palms do not burn or itch. After 5 days of using Nikel Probiotic cream, the upper layers of the skin were removed, and new, young, healthy skin was formed on the middle part of the palms, which was especially damaged. After 20 days of using Nikel Probiotic cream, my palms are completely clean, they don't hurt or burn me, only a slight redness remains on them. I have no words to express my gratitude for this product that has brought my life back to normal. THANK YOU!
When my pimples pop, Probiotic cream calms me down, and Evening primrose oil is great for me.
The perfect cream! I recommend it to anyone who has problems with dermatitis.
Probiotic cream solved the problems of my problematic face (acne, pimples). I bought it again!
