Common questions

Is NIVEA Soothing Micellar Water fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.

Does NIVEA Soothing Micellar Water contain alcohol?

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

Is NIVEA Soothing Micellar Water safe for fungal acne?

None of the ingredients usually flagged for fungal acne are listed: fatty acids with 11–24 carbons and their esters, polysorbates, plant oils and butters, or ferments. 3 of its ingredients aren't in our glossary yet, so check those yourself. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.

Is NIVEA Soothing Micellar Water suitable for sensitive skin?

Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils, drying alcohol or strong exfoliating acids are listed. NIVEA also recommends it for sensitive skin. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
