Common questions

Is Simple Smoothing Gel Cleanser fragrance-free?

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

Does Simple Smoothing Gel Cleanser contain alcohol?

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

Is Simple Smoothing Gel Cleanser safe for fungal acne?

It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty acids (lauric acid, stearic acid). 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 Simple Smoothing Gel Cleanser suitable for sensitive skin?

Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils or drying alcohol are listed, and its lactic acid is rinsed off, so it has less time to irritate. Simple also recommends it for sensitive skin. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
