Frequently asked questions

Is The Retinol 0.1 Cream fragrance-free?

No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in The Retinol 0.1 Cream'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 The Retinol 0.1 Cream paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in The Retinol 0.1 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 The Retinol 0.1 Cream suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. The Retinol 0.1 Cream contains 1 flagged allergen 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 The Retinol 0.1 Cream against your own profile.
