Common questions

Is Garnier Vitamin C Fresh & Bright Hydrating Sorbet Cream 4% Vitamin C* And Niacinamide fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes") is the 26th of 30 ingredients.

Does Garnier Vitamin C Fresh & Bright Hydrating Sorbet Cream 4% Vitamin C* And Niacinamide contain alcohol?

Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 4th of 30 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin.

Is Garnier Vitamin C Fresh & Bright Hydrating Sorbet Cream 4% Vitamin C* And Niacinamide safe for fungal acne?

It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (polyglyceryl-2 isostearate). How much it matters 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.
