Common questions
Is No7 Radiance+ 15% Vitamin C Serum fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum (Fragrance)") is the 18th of 22 ingredients.
Does No7 Radiance+ 15% Vitamin C Serum contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.
Is No7 Radiance+ 15% Vitamin C Serum safe for fungal acne?
It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil); 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 Radiance+ 15% Vitamin C Serum suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
