Common questions
Is NIVEA Refreshing Day Face Cream SPF30 fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 26th of 26 ingredients.
Does NIVEA Refreshing Day Face Cream SPF30 contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain cetearyl alcohol and behenyl alcohol: fatty alcohols that soften and thicken the formula and aren't drying.
Is NIVEA Refreshing Day Face Cream SPF30 safe for fungal acne?
It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (ethylhexyl stearate, triisostearin, 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 Refreshing Day Face Cream SPF30 suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
