Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, "Nivea Japan - Men Skin Conditioner Balm Extra Care" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Nivea Japan - Men Skin Conditioner Balm Extra Care ticks this box. Humectants in this product (glycerin, glyceryl glucoside, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, butylene glycol and propylene glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Paraffinum liquidum, caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone, squalane and glyceryl stearate 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.
