Sensitive skin: fragrance 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.

These flags don't affect the pregnancy rating. They point out the ingredients most likely to make skincare sting, itch, or cause a rash. 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.

How we flag ingredients

Is Freshly Cosmetics Bioretinal Night Serum safe to use during pregnancy?

Jouaxia rates Freshly Cosmetics Bioretinal Night Serum "Avoid" for pregnancy because it contains Retinal. Retinoid (vitamin A derivative): Topical retinoids are generally recommended to be avoided in pregnancy; oral retinoids are known to cause birth defects (MotherToBaby/ACOG, Mayo Clinic). This is general information, not medical advice. Check with your OB-GYN or dermatologist.

Does Freshly Cosmetics Bioretinal Night Serum contain fragrance or other common allergens?

Yes. Freshly Cosmetics Bioretinal Night Serum contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. This doesn't affect its pregnancy rating, and most people use these ingredients without a problem; if your skin is sensitive or you've reacted to one before, patch-test it first or look for an alternative.

Is it OK for kids and teens?

Kids (ages 3–11)

Not for kids

  • Retinoid (vitamin A) (Retinal): An anti-aging and acne active children's skin doesn't need; dermatologists see red, itchy rashes in kids who use retinoids, and they make skin more sensitive to the sun.
  • Exfoliating acid (AHA) (Lactic Acid): Glycolic, lactic, and mandelic acids can irritate young skin, and children rarely need them. We can't see the strength, so low amounts are flagged too.
  • Fragrance or essential oils (Limonene**, Geraniol**): Children's skin reacts to fragrance and essential oils more easily; fragrance-free products are the usual advice for kids, especially with eczema or sensitive skin.

Teens (ages 12–17)

Use with care

  • Anti-aging retinoid (Retinal): Teen skin doesn't need anti-aging retinol, and it can irritate and make skin more sensitive to the sun. For pimples, adapalene (sold over the counter from age 12) is the retinoid dermatologists recommend.
  • Exfoliating acid (AHA) (Lactic Acid): Glycolic, lactic, and mandelic acids can irritate, especially alongside acne treatments. Fine for some teens, used a few times a week.
