by Nivea
Updated August 28, 2026
Emollient cream moisturizes dry, sensitive skin but often triggers redness and acne.

A rich, creamy moisturizer popular for dry and dehydrated skin, especially in colder climates. It can sting on application and often irritates sensitive or acne-prone skin, likely due to fragrance and alcohol content. Best avoided if prone to redness or breakouts.
