Common questions
Is No7 Men Energising Face Wash fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum (Fragrance)") is the 21st of 31 ingredients.
Does No7 Men Energising Face Wash contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 6th of 31 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin. It also contains cetearyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.
Is No7 Men Energising Face Wash safe for fungal acne?
It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (tribehenin). 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 Men Energising Face Wash suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance and drying alcohol high in the list, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
