Frequently asked questions

Does Effaclar A.I Breakout Corrector 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 Effaclar A.I Breakout Corrector with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Effaclar A.I Breakout Corrector paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Effaclar A.I Breakout 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. Effaclar A.I Breakout Corrector contains 5 flagged allergens and 2 irritants (listed in the analysis above).
