Frequently asked questions

Does Bright Complete Vitamin C Serum Cleanser contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 6 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, benzyl alcohol, geraniol, limonene, linalool, benzyl salicylate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Bright Complete Vitamin C Serum Cleanser with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Bright Complete Vitamin C Serum Cleanser paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Bright Complete Vitamin C Serum Cleanser'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 Vitamin C Serum Cleanser suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Bright Complete Vitamin C Serum Cleanser contains 9 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 Vitamin C Serum Cleanser against your own profile.
