No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in Hyperpigmentation Control Face Serum With 8% Tranexamic Acid +Niacinamide'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 Hyperpigmentation Control Face Serum With 8% Tranexamic Acid +Niacinamide paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Hyperpigmentation Control Face Serum With 8% Tranexamic Acid +Niacinamide's listed ingredients.
