Common questions

Is NIVEA Gentle Face Cleansing Cream Wash fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 23rd of 24 ingredients.

Does NIVEA Gentle Face Cleansing Cream Wash contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain cetearyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol: fatty alcohols that soften and thicken the formula and aren't drying.

Is NIVEA Gentle Face Cleansing Cream Wash safe for fungal acne?

It contains 5 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (isopropyl palmitate, 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.
