Common questions
Is No7 Derm Solutions Skin Balancing Serum Suitable fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum (Fragrance)") is the 19th of 31 ingredients.
Does No7 Derm Solutions Skin Balancing Serum Suitable contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 10th of 31 ingredients, lower down the list, so it is likely a smaller amount.
Is No7 Derm Solutions Skin Balancing Serum Suitable safe for fungal acne?
It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: polysorbates (polysorbate 20). 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.
Is No7 Derm Solutions Skin Balancing Serum Suitable suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
