Common questions
Is NIVEA Nourishing Night Cream fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 20th of 20 ingredients.
Does NIVEA Nourishing Night Cream 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 Nourishing Night Cream safe for fungal acne?
It contains 5 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (hydrogenated coco-glycerides, glyceryl stearate citrate, cocoglycerides); 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 Nourishing Night Cream suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. NIVEA says it's made for sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
