Common questions

Is No7 Prime Forever SPF50 Primer fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.

Does No7 Prime Forever SPF50 Primer contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain cetearyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.

Is No7 Prime Forever SPF50 Primer safe for fungal acne?

It contains 4 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (polyglyceryl-6 stearate, tribehenin, polyglyceryl-6 behenate); 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.

Is No7 Prime Forever SPF50 Primer suitable for sensitive skin?

Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils, drying alcohol or strong exfoliating acids are listed. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
