Frequently asked questions

Does Retinol Mask 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 Retinol Mask with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Retinol Mask paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Retinol Mask'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 Retinol Mask suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Retinol Mask contains 2 flagged allergens and 0 irritants (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 Retinol Mask against your own profile.
