Frequently asked questions

Does Derma Skin Clear Chemical Exfoliator 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 Derma Skin Clear Chemical Exfoliator with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Derma Skin Clear Chemical Exfoliator paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Derma Skin Clear Chemical Exfoliator'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. Derma Skin Clear Chemical Exfoliator contains 2 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above).
