Common questions
Is L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Micro-Collagen Firming Serum fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 39th of 39 ingredients.
Does L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Micro-Collagen Firming Serum contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 3rd of 39 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 L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Micro-Collagen Firming Serum safe for fungal acne?
It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (peg-20 methyl glucose sesquistearate); polysorbates (polysorbate 20). 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 L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Micro-Collagen Firming Serum suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance and drying alcohol high in the list, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
