Common questions

Is No7 Youthful Replenishing Facial Oil fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum (Fragrance)") is the 6th of 12 ingredients.

Does No7 Youthful Replenishing Facial Oil contain alcohol?

Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 4th of 12 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 No7 Youthful Replenishing Facial Oil safe for fungal acne?

It contains 5 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (isostearyl isostearate, isopropyl myristate, retinyl palmitate, ascorbyl palmitate); plant oils & butters (simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) 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 Youthful Replenishing Facial Oil 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.
