Soft Moisturiser Face Body & Hands

Decent 3.8 / 5

A verified, mainstream all-purpose moisturizer with solid basic hydration and a light feel, but the fragrance-heavy formula and alcohol denat. reduce its appeal for sensitive or easily irritated skin.

Skin

How it’s judged

Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.

What it may help with

Hydration i3.5 / 4

Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.

From Glycerin, Sweet Almond Oil, Olus Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil

Anti aging i2.5 / 4

Whether it can help visible signs of aging — fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, or photoaging.

From Tocopheryl Acetate, Glycerin

Barrier support i2.5 / 4

Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.

From Glycerin, Sweet Almond Oil, Olus Oil, Myristyl Myristate

Texture i2.0 / 4

Whether it can improve smoothness and surface texture — roughness, flaking, clogged pores, or unevenness. Exfoliating acids, retinoids, and smoothing moisturizers may score here.

From Oleic Acid, Glycerin, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil

Soothing i2.0 / 4

Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.

From Sweet Almond Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Olus Oil, Glycerin

Things to watch

Sensitization i3.5 / 4

Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.

From Citronellol, Fragrance, Linalool, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

Irritation i2.5 / 4

Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.

From Alcohol Denat., Fragrance, Citronellol, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil

Barrier disruption i2.0 / 4

Whether it can weaken or damage the skin barrier — harsh surfactants, strong exfoliants, high alcohol content, or overuse-prone actives.

From Alcohol Denat., Oleic Acid, Fragrance

Acne aggravation i2.0 / 4

Whether it may worsen breakouts — clogging pores, feeling heavy on acne-prone skin, or triggering comedones in some users.

From Oleic Acid, Myristyl Myristate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sweet Almond Oil

Eye irritation i1.5 / 4

Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.

From Alcohol Denat., Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance, Citronellol

About this product

A multi-use NIVEA face, body, and hand moisturizer with a light cream texture, humectants and emollients for hydration, plus vitamin E and plant oils. The product page and retailer listing confirm the exact variant and full INCI list, but the formula also includes alcohol denat. and fragrance allergens, so it is not an ideal match for fragrance-sensitive or very reactive skin.

Good signs
  • Good water-binding support from glycerin for basic hydration.
  • Balanced emollient system with plant oils and fatty ingredients that should help soften dry areas.
  • Contains vitamin E, which adds mild antioxidant support.
  • Light-cream positioning and retailer claims suggest quick absorption rather than a heavy occlusive feel.
Watch-outs
  • Fragrance plus multiple fragrance allergens make it less suitable for sensitive or eczema-prone skin.
  • Alcohol denat. may be drying or irritating for some users, especially with frequent face use.
  • The formula is marketed as dermatologically approved, but that does not guarantee compatibility for all skin types.
Best for
  • General everyday use on face, body, and hands
  • Normal to dry skin needing a light moisturizer
  • Users who want a quick-absorbing all-purpose cream
  • normal
  • dry
  • combination
  • oily
  • sensitive
How to use it
  • Apply to clean skin as needed on face, body, or hands.
  • Patch testing is sensible when skin is reactive or fragrance-sensitive.
  • May be better used on body and hands than on very acne-prone facial skin for some users.
