Common questions

Is The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Hyaluronic Acid Serum fragrance-free?

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

Does The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Hyaluronic Acid Serum contain alcohol?

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

Is The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Hyaluronic Acid Serum safe for fungal acne?

It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil); polysorbates (polysorbate 20); ferments (lactococcus ferment lysate). 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 The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Hyaluronic Acid Serum suitable for sensitive skin?

Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils, drying alcohol or strong exfoliating acids are listed. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
