Common questions
Is NIVEA MEN Hydrocare Face Wash fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 20th of 20 ingredients.
Does NIVEA MEN Hydrocare Face Wash contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 3rd 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.
Is NIVEA MEN Hydrocare Face Wash safe for fungal acne?
None of the ingredients usually flagged for fungal acne are listed: fatty acids with 11–24 carbons and their esters, polysorbates, plant oils and butters, or ferments. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
Is NIVEA MEN Hydrocare Face Wash 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.
