Common questions

Is NIVEA Refreshing Face Scrub fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 18th of 19 ingredients.

Does NIVEA Refreshing Face Scrub contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.

Is NIVEA Refreshing Face Scrub safe for fungal acne?

It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (retinyl palmitate). How much it matters 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 Face Scrub suitable for sensitive skin?

It contains fragrance, retinol, which often irritates at first and sodium lauryl or laureth sulfate, a strong cleansing agent, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
