Frequently asked questions
Does Q10 Power Anti Wrinkle + Replenishing Night Cream contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 6 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, alpha-isomethyl ionone, citronellol, benzyl salicylate, limonene. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Q10 Power Anti Wrinkle + Replenishing Night Cream with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Q10 Power Anti Wrinkle + Replenishing Night Cream paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Q10 Power Anti Wrinkle + Replenishing Night Cream'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. Q10 Power Anti Wrinkle + Replenishing Night Cream contains 8 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above).
