Common questions

Is Neutrogena Retinol Boost Serum fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 25th of 25 ingredients.

Does Neutrogena Retinol Boost Serum contain alcohol?

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

Is Neutrogena Retinol Boost Serum 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. 3 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.
