Common questions
Is No7 Youthful Eye Serum fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.
Does No7 Youthful Eye Serum contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.
Is No7 Youthful Eye Serum safe for fungal acne?
It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (retinyl palmitate); polysorbates (polysorbate 80, 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 Youthful Eye Serum suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains retinol, which often irritates at first, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
