Frequently asked questions

Is Cica & 2% Salicylic Face Wash fragrance-free?

No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in Cica & 2% Salicylic Face Wash'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 Cica & 2% Salicylic Face Wash paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Cica & 2% Salicylic Face Wash'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 Cica & 2% Salicylic Face Wash suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Cica & 2% Salicylic Face Wash contains 4 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above).
