Frequently asked questions

Does Even & Matte Vitamin C Dark Spot Corrector contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 7 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, geraniol, limonene, citral, benzyl alcohol, benzyl salicylate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Even & Matte Vitamin C Dark Spot Corrector with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Even & Matte Vitamin C Dark Spot Corrector paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Even & Matte Vitamin C Dark Spot Corrector'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.

It depends on your specific triggers. Even & Matte Vitamin C Dark Spot Corrector contains 7 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above).
