Common questions

Is The Ordinary Resurface + Hydrate Bundle fragrance-free?

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

Does The Ordinary Resurface + Hydrate Bundle contain alcohol?

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

Is The Ordinary Resurface + Hydrate Bundle safe for fungal acne?

It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty acids (stearic acid); fatty-acid esters & glycerides (ascorbyl palmitate); polysorbates (polysorbate 60). 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.
