The classic Nivea moisturizer, also in a men’s version. A formula that can be used on the face, neck or body.
It is a cream not as thick as the original (which is very rich), non-greasy and absorbs quickly, leaving the skin fully hydrated and looking very healthy.
Nothing is mentioned about the ingredients, only that it has a fresh masculine fragrance, which will surely be hidden in the INCI after the name Parfum, and we will not know what makes it up.
The list is very short, so we go straight to the analysis. But first, you cannot miss this article with the analysis of the Best Moisturizing Creams for Men .

Creme analysis summary of Nivea Men
It has some occlusives like petrolatum, glycerin, and a silicone; and emollients, like Hydrogenated Coconut Glycerides (the best ingredient on the list) or a fatty alcohol, but little else.
The moisturizing agents are not of quality, and that is noticeable in the result, a less hydrated skin, but yes, softened.
Vitamin E is present, but it is as if it is not there.
And worst of all, less healthy skin, as there are a good amount of irritants, a perfume, alcohol, a moderate risk toxin and even a paraben.
It is true that it is a very cheap cream, but there are ingredients that are cheap, but not harmful. I think it has been widely proven that you don’t have to spend a fortune to find a quality cream with good ingredients.
I have the cream, but I use it to hydrate my skin accessories, since mine does not like a formula like that. Your skin will thank you!
Alternative
Any of the options that appear in the analysis that I recommend above is better than this cream, but since you have to take something, it is worth it. Like Nezeni Cosmetics Collagen cream, a formula that has very little to do with this one from Nivea.
For starters, it has no irritating or toxic ingredients, much less parabens, or alcohol. And it has several highly moisturizing actives, such as hydrolyzed collagen or sunflower oil. In addition, it also attacks other skin problems, such as wrinkles.
