Common questions
Is No7 Instant Results Nourishing Hydration Mask fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum (Fragrance)") is the 16th of 37 ingredients.
Does No7 Instant Results Nourishing Hydration Mask contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.
Is No7 Instant Results Nourishing Hydration Mask safe for fungal acne?
It contains 4 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (polyglyceryl-4 isostearate, hexyl laurate, sodium lauroyl lactylate); plant oils & butters (theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter). 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 Instant Results Nourishing Hydration Mask suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
