Common questions

Is NIVEA Refreshing Face Wash Gel fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 15th of 17 ingredients.

Does NIVEA Refreshing Face Wash Gel contain alcohol?

Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 5th of 17 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin.

Is NIVEA Refreshing Face Wash Gel safe for fungal acne?

It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (peg-7 glyceryl cocoate). How much it matters 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.
