Frequently asked questions

Does Men Deep Rapid Acne Clear Face Wash contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 3 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, limonene. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Men Deep Rapid Acne Clear Face Wash with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Men Deep Rapid Acne Clear Face Wash paraben-free?
