Common questions

Is NIVEA 24h Mattifying Day Face Cream fragrance-free?

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

Does NIVEA 24h Mattifying Day Face Cream contain alcohol?

Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 3rd of 15 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 24h Mattifying Day Face Cream safe for fungal acne?

It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (glyceryl stearate se). 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.
