NIVEA's oil free moisturiser reduces the skin's oil levels for hydrated skin and a matte, shine-free complexion.
Nivea Daily Essentials Oil Free Moisturising Day Cream caught my attention because it was screaming “oil free” from the shelf.
NIVEA Creme is an everyday, multi-purpose moisturising cream for oily skin which protects and gives relief from damaged skin, leaving it healthy.
Yes, there are a lot of petroleum/crude oil derived ingredients in the Nivea Creme, but now you know they're perfectly safe to use on the skin, and Paula Begoun and Beauty Brains both agree.
Nivea contains many inexpensive ingredients such as mineral oil, paraffin, waxes, water, and octyldodecanol. While it's true these ingredients are “old school” and inexpensive, it's also true they work very well when it comes to moisturizing the skin.
Many people tend to prefer the feel of creams to lotions and NIVEA® Soft delivers a fresh feeling moisture boost to the skin. It can be used on the face, body, & hands.
So should you moisturize oily skin? YES, you need to moisturize your skin, even if it is oily and acne-prone. To understand why, let's take a closer look at what a moisturizer really does. Moisturizers don't add water to your skin, but rather help hold the water in the outer layer of your skin to keep it hydrated.
Is moisturizer good for oily skin? Yes. Moisturizer is a necessity in any skin care routine. When your skin is properly hydrated, its natural response is to stop producing extra sebum (aka oil).
NIVEA provides a range of non-comedogenic products that are skin compatibility and dermatologically approved. These products are formulated to contain ingredients that will not block or clog pores. By not blocking pores, these products can help with the treating and protecting of blemish and acne prone skin.
NIVEA Creme is a water-in-oil emulsion. That means it contains many water droplets embedded in oil. As a result, your skin first receives intensive care from the outer oil phase and then is supplied with moisture. In contrast, NIVEA Soft is an oil-in-water emulsion: Small oil droplets are embedded in water.
No, it is not. In fact it makes your skin oily which forms sebum and causes more acne. Nivea is a good brand and creams by this brand and really good.
The rest of the product then sits atop your face and forms a thin layer of oil, bacteria, and other ingredients. This layer will then clog the pores and whenever cores get clogged, pimples and zits form. So, yes, moisturizer can cause acne but it only typically happens whenever you over-moisturize your skin.
"When the skin is dry, it can be more irritated and make acne look and appear worse," explains Rachel Nazarian, MD, a New York-based board-certified dermatologist. "With acne, the issue is inflammation in the skin—most acne responds better and improves when you calm it down. Therefore, moisturizing is helpful."
"You can have oily, acne-prone skin but still lack hydration." Skipping moisturizer only causes your skin to overcompensate with more oil. Just use an oil-free moisturizer like Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel before your acne treatment to hydrate and prime your skin.
It's a myth that moisturizer causes oily skin. In fact, if you're using acne treatments such as salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, you definitely need a good moisturizer to keep your skin from drying out. Without moisturizer, any skin type will dry out.
Is water a good moisturizer? Water alone isn't a strong enough ingredient to keep your skin moisturized. It's also likely by the time you leave the bathroom, it's evaporated away — along with your skin's natural oils.
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop using the topical emollient and call your doctor if you have severe burning, stinging, redness, or irritation where the product was applied.
The presence of almond oil makes it a good product to increase the radiance and it also has an anti-aging effect. The lotion contains silicones, sulfates and also alcohol. The lotion is non-greasy, non-sticky and hydrates the skin for a few hours. It doesn't cause any irritation or redness and is soothing.
The best moisturisers for oily skin are enriched with minerals and anti-oxidants to reduce your skin's oil levels. This is why we recommend NIVEA Mattifying Day Cream for balanced moisture and reducing shine everyday.
Overall Opinion: Nivea Soft Moisturizing Crème is an average moisturizer. After trying it on my face, hands, and body, I found I really like the results on my hands and body. My face didn't see as great of results.
