Common questions
Is NIVEA Express Hydration Body Lotion fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 20th of 20 ingredients.
Does NIVEA Express Hydration Body Lotion contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 2nd of 20 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin. It also contains cetearyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.
Is NIVEA Express Hydration Body Lotion safe for fungal acne?
It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (isopropyl palmitate, glyceryl stearate se); plant oils & butters (vitis vinifera seed 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 Express Hydration Body Lotion suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance and drying alcohol high in the list, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
