Nivea Derma Control Event Proves Deodorant Can Be Skincare

by | Mar 23, 2026 | Grooming

Underarm care is often treated as an afterthought in men’s grooming routines. But if you train hard, sweat daily or simply want to feel fresh and confident from morning to night, what you use matters more than you think. That was the core message at the recent NIVEA Derma Control event. The event put the spotlight on how deodorant can double as skincare.

Inside the Nivea Derma Control Experience

Hosted at STAY by Imitable, the event brought together key media, influencers and skincare experts for a deep dive into the brand’s latest deodorant innovation. The setting matched the theme of hydration and renewal. With greenery, open space and natural light, organizers created a calm and premium atmosphere.

Guests were treated to a curated selection of refreshments and light bites while jazz music set a relaxed tone. The message of the day was clear. Confidence should not come at the cost of skin health.

What the Experts Had To Say

The event, hosted by Barbara Moagi, kicked off with a panel led by Dr Fez alongside other skincare professionals. The discussion focused on a simple but often overlooked idea. Your underarms need the same level of care as the rest of your skin.

Key ingredients like hyaluron, vitamin C and pro vitamin B5 were highlighted for their role in hydration, skin repair and maintaining an even tone. For active guys who shave regularly or deal with irritation, this kind of formulation can make a noticeable difference.

Turning Skincare Into an Experience

Instead of just talking about benefits, NIVEA built interactive stations to bring the science to life. The Even Tone Smoothie Bike let guests create blends inspired by skin boosting ingredients. Meanwhile, the NIVEA Care Lab showcased the brand’s 72 hour protection through games and challenges.

One of the standout moments was the Confidence Capture Studio, where guests were coached through power poses by Mirriam Ngomani before stepping in front of the camera. The idea was simple. Confidence is not just about how you look, but how you carry yourself.

The Takeaway for Your Routine

The NIVEA Derma Control range is designed to go beyond basic odour control. With 72 hour sweat and odour protection, it also works to soften skin, reduce irritation and support overall skin health.
