Based on the ingredients included, "Nivea - Hydrating Night Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. 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). Emollients in this formulation (butyrospermum parkii butter, c12-15 alkyl benzoate, cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate citrate and isopropyl palmitate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
Ingredient callouts

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”: these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, pantolactone.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses
moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels
less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
butyrospermum parkii butter, c12-15 alkyl benzoate.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with
the hydration level: panthenol
Antioxidant that might help reduce free radicals and reduce melanin production, but more research is needed to understand if it is effective in skin
Anti-oxidation
This product contains antioxidants (isoquercitrin) that might be able to help
neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun).
There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals
The NIVEA Hydrating Night Cream for Normal and Combination Skin with Vitamin E and Anti-Oxidants enhances skin's natural regeneration process at night.
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin
elasticity,
but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be
able to repair the sun damage better.These ingredients -
butyrospermum parkii butter, isoquercitrin - could be helpful for preventing or
repairing signs of aging in theory,
but there is no evidence that it actually works.
This ingredient isoquercitrin might be able to help neutralize free radicals
in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.
