Frequently asked questions

Does SkinActive Fast Clear Gel Wash contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 5 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, limonene, benzyl alcohol, benzyl salicylate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat SkinActive Fast Clear Gel Wash with caution and patch test before full use.

Is SkinActive Fast Clear Gel Wash paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in SkinActive Fast Clear Gel 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 SkinActive Fast Clear Gel Wash suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. SkinActive Fast Clear Gel Wash contains 7 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 SkinActive Fast Clear Gel Wash against your own profile.
