Common questions
Is NIVEA Caring 48h Day Face Cream SPF15 fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 23rd of 23 ingredients.
Does NIVEA Caring 48h Day Face Cream SPF15 contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain cetearyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.
Is NIVEA Caring 48h Day Face Cream SPF15 safe for fungal acne?
It contains 4 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (glyceryl stearate, glyceryl stearate citrate); plant oils & butters (butyrospermum parkii butter, argania spinosa kernel oil). How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
Is NIVEA Caring 48h Day Face Cream SPF15 suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
