Common questions
Is No7 Men Protect Perfect Intense Advanced Day Moisturiser SPF15 fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum (Fragrance)") is the 17th of 49 ingredients.
Does No7 Men Protect Perfect Intense Advanced Day Moisturiser SPF15 contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 10th of 49 ingredients, lower down the list, so it is likely a smaller amount.
Is No7 Men Protect Perfect Intense Advanced Day Moisturiser SPF15 safe for fungal acne?
It contains 6 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (polyglyceryl-6 stearate, retinyl palmitate, sorbitan laurate, polyglyceryl-6 behenate); plant oils & butters (butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter); and 1 more. 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 Men Protect Perfect Intense Advanced Day Moisturiser SPF15 suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance and retinol, which often irritates at first, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
