Gentle care without fragrance

Sensitive skin requires special attention. NIVEA Essentials Sensitive Cleansing Milk is specially formulated to cleanse without disrupting the skin's natural moisture barrier. Because it is free from perfume and colorants, the risk of redness or irritation is minimized. The addition of grape seed oil helps to instantly soothe and soften the skin during your routine.

How does it perform in daily use?

This cleansing milk has a light, creamy texture that glides easily over the skin. You can apply it with a cotton pad or massage it directly with your fingertips and rinse with lukewarm water. It works excellently for daily cleansing and light makeup. However, if you wear stubborn waterproof eye makeup, we recommend using a dedicated bi-phase remover first to avoid harsh rubbing.

Frequently asked questions
