NIVEA turned skincare for underarms into a full sensory experience at its recent Derma Control event, held at STAY by Imitable in Muldersdrift. The gathering brought together high-profile influencers for an afternoon that blended hydration, renewal, and self-care — the core promises behind NIVEA’s new Derma Control deodorant range.
The venue set the tone: a calm, upscale space surrounded by greenery, tranquil pools and natural light. Guests sipped NIVEA-blue drinks and sampled nutrient-rich canapés, gelato and sweet treats while a jazz soundtrack played in the background. The day’s message was clear and simple: #ConfidenceWithoutCompromise.

MC Barbara Moagi opened proceedings with a panel discussion featuring Dr Fez and other dermatology experts. They unpacked why underarm care matters as much as facial skincare, highlighting the Derma Control range’s Even Tone and Defend lines. The conversation emphasized choosing products that protect skin health over time, not just mask odour.
That insight was woven into the day’s activities. At the Even Tone Smoothie Bike, guests pedalled to create their own blends using vitamin C-rich citrus and botanicals — a hands-on nod to the range’s promise of visible results. The NIVEA Care Lab drove the point home with interactive touchpoints, including a 72-Second Challenge, a touchscreen memory game, and a prize draw, all showcasing 72-hour protection and skin-care benefits.
One of the most talked-about spots was the Confidence Capture Studio. Celebrity coach Mirriam Ngomani led guests through power poses before they stepped in front of the camera to show their boldest selves. Each attendee left with a personalised Fieldbar water bottle engraved on site — a practical reminder that hydration and self-care continue long after the event.
Formulated with hyaluron, vitamin C and pro-vitamin B5, the Derma Control range is designed to defend underarm skin against irritation from shaving while keeping it soft and comfortable. The antiperspirants offer 72-hour sweat and odour protection, leaving skin feeling healthier.
From Anti-Stain to Dry, Fresh and Cool Kick, the event reinforced NIVEA’s broader message: advanced underarm care can be simple, intuitive and part of everyday life. The Derma Control experience reminded guests that no matter where life takes them, NIVEA is there to help them move, shine and glow with ease.
