Common questions

Is NIVEA Q10 + Vitamin C Firming Body Lotion fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 22nd of 22 ingredients.

Does NIVEA Q10 + Vitamin C Firming Body Lotion contain alcohol?

Yes. Alcohol, a drying alcohol, is the 4th of 22 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 Q10 + Vitamin C Firming Body Lotion safe for fungal acne?

It contains 4 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (isopropyl palmitate, glyceryl stearate se, glyceryl stearate); plant oils & butters (butyrospermum parkii butter). 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.
