Common questions

Is Simple Glow Brightening Gel Cream fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.

Does Simple Glow Brightening Gel Cream 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 Simple Glow Brightening Gel Cream safe for fungal acne?

It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty acids (stearic acid). How much it matters 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 Simple Glow Brightening Gel Cream suitable for sensitive skin?

Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils, drying alcohol or strong exfoliating acids are listed. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
