Frequently asked questions

Does Clear Pore Oil-Eliminating Astringent 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 Clear Pore Oil-Eliminating Astringent with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Clear Pore Oil-Eliminating Astringent paraben-free?
