Common questions
Is No7 Face Cleansing Lotion fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum (Fragrance)") is the 11th of 20 ingredients.
Does No7 Face Cleansing Lotion contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain cetearyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.
Is No7 Face Cleansing Lotion safe for fungal acne?
It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (retinyl palmitate); plant oils & butters (vitis vinifera (grape) seed oil). 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 No7 Face Cleansing Lotion suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
