Common questions

Is No7 Pure Retinol 1% Retinol Night Concentrate fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients. No7 also describes it as fragrance-free.

Does No7 Pure Retinol 1% Retinol Night Concentrate contain alcohol?

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

Is No7 Pure Retinol 1% Retinol Night Concentrate safe for fungal acne?

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