Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "Nivea - Repair Care Hand Creme" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Nivea - Repair Care Hand Creme ticks this box. Panthenol 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 (oleic acid and palmitic acid) 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 formulation also includes panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.55% - 1.25% concentration. In this concentration, panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
