17th February 2026, India: NIVEA, India’s most trusted skincare brand*, has been driving the underarm skincare conversation for over 5 years and now takes it further with the launch of NIVEA Derma Control. A breakthrough underarm care range that brings skincare-grade ingredients into your daily underarm care routine. The launch is accompanied by a vibrant brand film featuring global ambassador Taapsee Pannu, who champions the idea that your underarms require expert skincare.
Understanding that underarm skin is uniquely delicate and faces constant friction and irritation, especially from hair removal through shaving and waxing- NIVEA Derma Control delivers targeted solutions that go beyond just odour protection. For the first time, NIVEA has formulated powerhouse ingredients like Pure Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, and Pro Vitamin B5 into advanced roll-ons and sprays designed specifically for superior underarm care.
The range launches in two variants: NIVEA Derma Control Eventone for visibly brighter and smoother underarms, and NIVEA Derma Control Defend for gentle defence against daily irritation. Both variants are available as roll ons and aerosol sprays, offering 72-hour odour protection with gentle, alcohol-free formulas that respect your skin’s needs.
With Taapsee at its heart, the brand film opens a candid conversation about underarm care- one that every woman will relate to. From waxing to shaving, we do so much in pursuit of smooth underarms, yet the secret to truly healthy-looking skin lies in expert care and NIVEA Derma Control delivers exactly that.
Speaking about the new launch, Geetika Mehta, Managing Director, NIVEA India, said: “NIVEA has been championing underarm skincare for years now, because we firmly believe that underarm skin deserves the same attention and expertise as any other part of your skin. Consumers today are more informed and increasingly conscious about what they put on their skin- seeking products that deliver meaningful care alongside effective protection. With NIVEA Derma Control, we are proud to bring skincare-grade ingredients into the deodorant category, offering a range that delivers visible, meaningful results.”
Taapsee Pannu, Global Brand Ambassador, NIVEA India, commented on the launch: “I’m particular about what goes on my skin, and underarms are no exception. Between shoots and events, they’re constantly exposed to friction and irritation from waxing and shaving and they deserve real care, not just coverage. NIVEA Derma Control brings genuine skincare benefits with ingredients like Pure Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C that actually make a visible difference. This range is the best care your underarm deserves!”
