Nivea Body Lotion Repair & Care, Very Dry Skin

Based on the ingredient list, "Nivea - Body Lotion Repair & Care, Very Dry Skin" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Nivea - Body Lotion Repair & Care, Very Dry Skin ticks this box. Panthenol, glycerin and pantolactone in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Cera microcristallina, dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate and isopropyl palmitate in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
