Common questions
Is NIVEA MEN Hydrocare Moisturiser fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 18th of 18 ingredients.
Does NIVEA MEN Hydrocare Moisturiser 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 MEN Hydrocare Moisturiser safe for fungal acne?
It contains 4 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (cocoglycerides, polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate, isopropyl palmitate, glyceryl stearate). 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 MEN Hydrocare Moisturiser suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
