Frequently asked questions

Is Stubborn Body Acne Treatment Spray fragrance-free?

No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in Stubborn Body Acne Treatment Spray'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 Stubborn Body Acne Treatment Spray paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Stubborn Body Acne Treatment Spray'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 Stubborn Body Acne Treatment Spray suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Stubborn Body Acne Treatment Spray contains 1 flagged allergen and 2 irritants (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 Stubborn Body Acne Treatment Spray against your own profile.
