Common questions
Is NIVEA Q10 Firming + Energising Body Serum Lotion fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 19th of 19 ingredients.
Does NIVEA Q10 Firming + Energising Body Serum Lotion contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 2nd of 19 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 Q10 Firming + Energising Body Serum Lotion safe for fungal acne?
It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (isopropyl palmitate, sorbitan 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 Q10 Firming + Energising Body Serum Lotion 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.
