Common questions

Is Garnier Micellar Gentle Peeling Water All-in-1 1% PHA & Glycolic Acid fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 19th of 19 ingredients.

Does Garnier Micellar Gentle Peeling Water All-in-1 1% PHA & Glycolic Acid contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.

Is Garnier Micellar Gentle Peeling Water All-in-1 1% PHA & Glycolic Acid safe for fungal acne?

It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil); polysorbates (polysorbate 20). 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.
