Common questions

Is No7 Instant Illusions Airbrush Away Primer fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum (Fragrance)") is the 18th of 26 ingredients.

Does No7 Instant Illusions Airbrush Away Primer contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.

Is No7 Instant Illusions Airbrush Away Primer safe for fungal acne?

It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (polyglyceryl-4 isostearate, hexyl laurate). 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.
