Frequently asked questions

Is Photoderm MAX Aquafluide SPF 50+ (Clear) fragrance-free?

No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in Photoderm MAX Aquafluide SPF 50+ (Clear)'s listed ingredients. "Not detected" isn't an absolute guarantee, but it's a good sign for fragrance-sensitive skin — confirm against the current pack and your own triggers.

Is Photoderm MAX Aquafluide SPF 50+ (Clear) paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Photoderm MAX Aquafluide SPF 50+ (Clear)'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.

It depends on your specific triggers. Photoderm MAX Aquafluide SPF 50+ (Clear) contains 4 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above).
