Frequently asked questions

Does AHA + BHA Charcoal Mattifying Serum Mask contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat AHA + BHA Charcoal Mattifying Serum Mask with caution and patch test before full use.

Is AHA + BHA Charcoal Mattifying Serum Mask paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in AHA + BHA Charcoal Mattifying Serum Mask'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 AHA + BHA Charcoal Mattifying Serum Mask suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. AHA + BHA Charcoal Mattifying Serum Mask contains 1 flagged allergen 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 AHA + BHA Charcoal Mattifying Serum Mask against your own profile.
