Frequently asked questions

Does Hydro Boost Daily Gel Cream Exfoliating Cleanser With Hyaluronic Acid 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 Hydro Boost Daily Gel Cream Exfoliating Cleanser With Hyaluronic Acid with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Hydro Boost Daily Gel Cream Exfoliating Cleanser With Hyaluronic Acid paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Hydro Boost Daily Gel Cream Exfoliating Cleanser With Hyaluronic Acid's listed ingredients.
