Frequently asked questions

Is 3% Kojic Acid Dark Spot Corrector Gel fragrance-free?

No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in 3% Kojic Acid Dark Spot Corrector Gel'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 3% Kojic Acid Dark Spot Corrector Gel paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in 3% Kojic Acid Dark Spot Corrector Gel'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. 3% Kojic Acid Dark Spot Corrector Gel contains 2 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (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 3% Kojic Acid Dark Spot Corrector Gel against your own profile.
