Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSUbiquinone (Coenzyme Q10)Proven
A powerful antioxidant naturally found in human skin cells that plays a critical role in cellular energy production. NIVEA uses pure Q10 obtained through natural yeast fermentation, identical to the Q10 in your own skin. Levels decline with age, making topical supplementation beneficial.
- Research: A study using 0.3% Q10 demonstrated measurable reduction in wrinkle depth over time
- Function: Neutralizes free radicals, boosts collagen synthesis, and supports cellular energy production
- NIVEA Data: 25+ years of dedicated Q10 research by Beiersdorf scientists
CreatinePromising
An amino acid derivative known for supplying instant energy to skin cells. When paired with Q10, it creates a dual-action anti-aging system that helps strengthen the skin's firming fibers and boost collagen and elastin production.
- Function: Provides direct energy to skin cells, supporting firmness and elasticity
- Synergy: Works in combination with Q10 for enhanced anti-aging benefits
Glycerin ~5–10%Proven

Budget-friendly alternatives (dupes)
DUPESContains Pro-Retinol and Fibrelastyl instead of Q10/Creatine. Slightly more potent anti-aging actives but with a higher risk of irritation. Very similar rich texture and drugstore availability.
Peptide-based formula with ceramides and hyaluronic acid instead of Q10. Fragrance-free and better for sensitive skin. Different anti-aging approach but similar hydration benefits. Pump packaging.
Multi-peptide serum (not a cream) that targets the same anti-aging concerns with a different approach. Would need a separate moisturizer on top. Fragrance-free and much lighter texture.
Pro-Retinol and Shea Butter formula at a budget-friendly price. Similar rich texture and anti-wrinkle claims. Slightly more active with retinol but not pregnancy-safe.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes. This night cream does not contain retinoids (retinol, tretinoin), salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens — the key ingredients typically flagged during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The active ingredients (Coenzyme Q10, Creatine, Glycerin, Shea Butter, Panthenol) are all considered safe for use during pregnancy and nursing. However, it does contain fragrance, so if you develop fragrance sensitivity during pregnancy, you may want to patch test first or consider the NIVEA Q10 Sensitive variant.
No. This product is not fungal acne safe. It contains several ingredients that can feed Malassezia yeast, including Ethylhexyl Cocoate (a fatty acid ester), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil (high in oleic acid), and Lanolin Alcohol. If you are prone to fungal acne (pityrosporum folliculitis), you should avoid this product and look for FA-safe alternatives.
Yes, this cream can be layered with most active ingredients. Since it does not contain retinol, AHAs, or BHAs itself, you can apply these actives first (serum step) and follow with the Q10 Night Cream as a moisturizing final step. For retinol: apply retinol serum first, wait 10–15 minutes, then apply this cream. For vitamin C: best used in the AM routine, with this cream in the PM. For AHA/BHA: apply acids first, allow absorption, then layer this cream on top.
This cream is best suited for normal to dry skin types. The rich, emollient formula with Shea Butter and Macadamia Oil provides deep hydration that dry skin loves. Normal skin types will enjoy the balanced moisturization. Combination skin can use it primarily in drier areas. It may feel too heavy for very oily skin types. Sensitive skin should patch test due to the fragrance content.
According to NIVEA's clinical studies: skin feels nourished and softer within 24 hours; visibly firmer skin and reduced wrinkles are noticeable in 7 days (86% of women in the study); intense hydration is reported after 2 weeks (90% of women); and continuous skin regeneration is seen after 4 weeks (73% of women). The most significant anti-wrinkle results typically appear between 2–4 weeks of consistent nightly use.
This cream should be the last step in your nighttime skincare routine. The recommended order is: 1) Cleanser, 2) Toner (optional), 3) Serum or treatment (optional), 4) Eye cream (optional), 5) NIVEA Q10 Night Cream. Apply it to clean, dry skin in gentle upward motions. No sunscreen is needed after this product since it is for PM use only. For a complete routine, pair with the NIVEA Q10 Day Cream (with SPF) in the morning.
The overall comedogenic rating is 2/5 (low risk). Most ingredients score 0–1 on the comedogenic scale. However, some ingredients like Lanolin Alcohol (0–2), Macadamia Oil (2–3), and Ethylhexyl Cocoate (variable) could potentially contribute to clogged pores in breakout-prone individuals. Many reviewers specifically praise that this cream does not cause breakouts, but if you are very acne-prone, consider patch testing on a small area first.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. Once opened, the product should be used within one year for optimal efficacy and safety. The glass jar packaging means the product is exposed to air each time you open it, so using a clean spatula (instead of fingers) and keeping the lid tightly closed will help preserve the formula. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect the Q10 antioxidant from degradation.
Verdict: NIVEA Q10 Plus Anti-Wrinkle Night Moisturizer is a solid, affordable, and well-researched night cream that delivers reliable hydration and gentle anti-aging benefits. Backed by 25+ years of Beiersdorf Q10 research and clinically tested formulas, it excels as a nourishing nightly moisturizer for normal to dry skin. The Q10 + Creatine combination offers antioxidant protection and firming support without the irritation risks of retinol — making it an excellent choice for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or retinol-sensitive. However, the inclusion of fragrance, non-vegan Lanolin Alcohol, and ingredients that feed fungal acne prevent it from being a universal recommendation. For budget-conscious shoppers wanting a dependable, dermatologically tested anti-wrinkle night cream, it remains one of the best value options on the market.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
