Product summary

"Nivea Japan - Tube Creme" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Nivea Japan - Tube Creme ticks this box. Humectants in this product (cyclomethicone and glycerin) 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). Emollients in this formulation (paraffinum liquidum, petrolatum, cyclomethicone, squalane and decyl oleate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
