Common questions

Is Beauty of Joseon Light On Serum : Centella + Vita C fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.

Does Beauty of Joseon Light On Serum : Centella + Vita C contain alcohol?

Yes. Alcohol, a drying alcohol, is the 31st of 45 ingredients, lower down the list, so it is likely a smaller amount. It also contains cetearyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.

Is Beauty of Joseon Light On Serum : Centella + Vita C safe for fungal acne?

It contains 4 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (cetearyl olivate, sorbitan olivate, polyglyceryl-10 myristate, sorbitan isostearate). How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.

Is Beauty of Joseon Light On Serum : Centella + Vita C suitable for sensitive skin?

Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils or strong exfoliating acids are listed, and its alcohol sits low in the list. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
