Common questions

Is No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum (Fragrance)") is the 18th of 41 ingredients.

Does No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum contain alcohol?

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

Is No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum safe for fungal acne?

It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (retinyl palmitate, sorbitan laurate); 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.
