Sensitive skin: fragrance, niacinamide Why?
  • fragrance: Fragrance or parfum, and scent ingredients listed by name, such as linalool and limonene. The most common cause of skincare allergies; worth avoiding if you have eczema, rosacea, or very sensitive skin.
  • niacinamide: A popular, well-tolerated ingredient that can cause redness or flushing for a few people, especially at high strengths.

If your skin is sensitive, or one of them has bothered you before, you may want to skip the product or patch-test it first. Most people use them without a problem.
