Frequently asked questions

Does Bright Complete Overnight Booster Serum contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 4 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, limonene, geraniol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Bright Complete Overnight Booster Serum with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Bright Complete Overnight Booster Serum paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Bright Complete Overnight Booster Serum'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 Bright Complete Overnight Booster Serum suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Bright Complete Overnight Booster Serum contains 4 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 Bright Complete Overnight Booster Serum against your own profile.
