Frequently asked questions

Is Hydro Boost Gel Cream Extra-Dry fragrance-free?

No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in Hydro Boost Gel Cream Extra-Dry's listed ingredients. "Not detected" isn't an absolute guarantee, but it's a good sign for fragrance-sensitive skin — confirm against the current pack and your own triggers.

Is Hydro Boost Gel Cream Extra-Dry paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Hydro Boost Gel Cream Extra-Dry'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 Hydro Boost Gel Cream Extra-Dry suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Hydro Boost Gel Cream Extra-Dry contains 2 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 Hydro Boost Gel Cream Extra-Dry against your own profile.
