Frequently asked questions

Is Skin Perfecting 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel fragrance-free?

No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in Skin Perfecting 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel'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 Skin Perfecting 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Skin Perfecting 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel'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. Skin Perfecting 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel contains 1 flagged allergen and 0 irritants (listed in the analysis above).
