It was a radiant day in Cape Town as NIVEA unveiled its latest innovation in skincare — the Q10 Triple Wrinkle Defence Daily UV Fluid SPF50. Hosted at The Rooftop on Bree, the star-studded launch brought together dermatologists, media, influencers, and beauty insiders for a full-sensory celebration of science, style, and skin health.
With live music, cocktails, and a lively crowd, the event set the tone for what promises to be a game-changing addition to South Africa’s suncare routines.
Bye-Bye Wrinkles, Hello Protection
The spotlight of the day was on NIVEA’s Q10 Triple Wrinkle Defence Daily UV Fluid SPF50 — a breakthrough formula designed to defend against UV damage, glycation, and skin ageing.
Packed with Q10 and Glycostop, the product helps prevent and visibly reduce wrinkles by counteracting 68% of skin glycation, one of the major causes of premature ageing. It’s lightweight, fast-absorbing, and offers all-day protection, making it a must-have for daily skincare routines.

Science Meets Beauty
Guests got hands-on with the science of SPF through dermatologist-led activities, including skin scanning sessions and the popular Sun Print Activity, which revealed the unseen effects of UV exposure. These interactive elements brought the brand’s message to life — that prevention is always better than correction.
The Power of the Voice
Masindi Siaga, Senior Brand Manager of NIVEA, shared the brand’s mission to make skincare both accessible and empowering:
“We’re not only celebrating innovation in face care but reassuring users that NIVEA has their skin’s best interests at heart. This event is about more than products – it’s about inspiring people to protect their skin, embrace their glow, and live a little.”
Adding to the conversation, Dr Lauren Knight delivered an engaging talk on the vital role of SPF in everyday skincare, highlighting the long-term benefits of consistent sun protection.
Sun, Style, and Skincare
With panoramic views, glowing guests, and an atmosphere filled with excitement, the event embodied NIVEA’s core philosophy — confidence through care.
The Q10 Triple Wrinkle Defence Daily UV Fluid SPF50 not only enhances skincare routines but redefines how we think about protection, prevention, and self-care.

Key Benefits:
- Shields against UVA/UVB rays
- Reduces 68% of skin glycation
- Visibly smooths wrinkles with consistent use
Sun, style, and skincare — NIVEA made them all shine brighter this season.
