Common questions
Is The Ordinary Multi-Active Delivery Essence fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.
Does The Ordinary Multi-Active Delivery Essence contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.
Is The Ordinary Multi-Active Delivery Essence safe for fungal acne?
None of the ingredients usually flagged for fungal acne are listed: fatty acids with 11–24 carbons and their esters, polysorbates, plant oils and butters, or ferments. 2 of its ingredients aren't in our glossary yet, so check those yourself. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
Is The Ordinary Multi-Active Delivery Essence 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.
