Frequently asked questions

Is Acne Control Cleanser fragrance-free?

Is Acne Control Cleanser paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Acne Control Cleanser'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 Acne Control Cleanser suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Acne Control Cleanser contains 0 flagged allergens 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 Acne Control Cleanser against your own profile.
