Common questions
Is No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Dual Action Cleansing Water fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum (Fragrance)") is the 8th of 20 ingredients.
Does No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Dual Action Cleansing Water contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 3rd of 20 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin.
Is No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Dual Action Cleansing Water safe for fungal acne?
It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: polysorbates (polysorbate 20). 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 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Dual Action Cleansing Water 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.
