Common questions
Is No7 Cleansing Foaming Cleanser Oily fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum (Fragrance)") is the 11th of 21 ingredients.
Does No7 Cleansing Foaming Cleanser Oily contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.
Is No7 Cleansing Foaming Cleanser Oily safe for fungal acne?
It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, peg-18 glyceryl oleate). 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.
Is No7 Cleansing Foaming Cleanser Oily suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
