Frequently asked questions
Does Vitamin Activ Cg Radiance Intensive Cream contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Vitamin Activ Cg Radiance Intensive Cream with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Vitamin Activ Cg Radiance Intensive Cream paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Vitamin Activ Cg Radiance Intensive Cream's listed ingredients. Worth keeping in perspective: parabens are among the least common cosmetic allergens, so "paraben-free" matters far less for reactive skin than avoiding fragrance or the preservative MI/MCI.
Is Vitamin Activ Cg Radiance Intensive Cream suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Vitamin Activ Cg Radiance Intensive Cream contains 1 flagged allergen and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above). If none are on your personal allergen list it may suit you, but patch test first — add your allergens to AllerNote to check Vitamin Activ Cg Radiance Intensive Cream against your own profile.
