Common questions
Is L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Hydrating Smoothing Serum fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 33rd of 33 ingredients.
Does L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Hydrating Smoothing Serum contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 2nd of 33 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 Revitalift Hydrating Smoothing Serum safe for fungal acne?
It contains 4 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (retinyl palmitate, sorbitan laurate); ferments (bifida ferment lysate, lactobacillus/soybean ferment extract). 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 Revitalift Hydrating Smoothing Serum suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, drying alcohol high in the list and retinol, which often irritates at first, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
