Common questions

Is Estée Lauder Perfectionist Pro Rapid Brightening Treatment Ferment³+ Vitamin C fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Fragrance (Parfum)") is the 52nd of 59 ingredients.

Does Estée Lauder Perfectionist Pro Rapid Brightening Treatment Ferment³+ Vitamin C contain alcohol?

Is Estée Lauder Perfectionist Pro Rapid Brightening Treatment Ferment³+ Vitamin C safe for fungal acne?

It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: ferments (yeast extract). 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.
