Common questions
Is No7 Menopause Skincare Instant Radiance Serum fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum (Fragrance)") is the 15th of 52 ingredients.
Does No7 Menopause Skincare Instant Radiance Serum contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol, a drying alcohol, is the 19th of 52 ingredients, lower down the list, so it is likely a smaller amount. It also contains cetyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.
Is No7 Menopause Skincare Instant Radiance Serum safe for fungal acne?
It contains 5 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty acids (behenic acid); fatty-acid esters & glycerides (sorbitan laurate, ascorbyl palmitate); polysorbates (polysorbate 20, polysorbate 80). 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 Menopause Skincare Instant Radiance Serum suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
