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.
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.

Is it OK for kids and teens?
Kids (ages 3–11)
Not for kids
- Retinoid (vitamin A) ((Sodium Cocoyl Apple Amino Acids, Potassium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Oat Protein, Saponaria Officinalis Leaf Extract, Quillaja Saponaria Bark Extract, Sapindus Mukurossi Fruit Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Stearic Acid, Erythritol, Hexylene Glycol, Lactobacillus/Milk Ferment Filtrate, Panthenol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,3-Butanediol, Candida Bombicola/Glucose/Methyl Rapeseedate Ferment, Calendula Officinalis Flower Oil, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Disodium EDTA, Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Calendula Officinalis Extract, Dipropylene Glycol, Xylitylglucoside, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Babassuamidopropyl Betaine, Anhydroxylitol, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Phaseolus Radiatus Seed Extract, Hydrolyzed Ginseng Saponins, Xylitol, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Camellia Oleifera Seed Extract, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Asiaticoside, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Centella Asiatica Extract, Albumen Extract, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid, Glucose, Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract, Maltodextrin, Hydrolyzed Acacia Macrostachya Seed Extract, Olea Europaea Leaf Extract, Yucca Schidigera Leaf/Root/Stem Extract, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Grapeseed Oil, Glyceryl Laurate, Xanthan Gum, Glycolipids, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Dioscorea Opposita (Wild Yam) Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Ginseng Berry Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Sodium Benzoate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Sodium Surfactin, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Citric Acid, Tocopherol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sapindus Trifoliatus Fruit Extract, Potassium Sorbate, Ceramide NP, Ribes Nigrum (Black Currant) Seed Oil, Phytosphingosine, Niacinamide, Serine, Gypsophila Paniculata Root Extract, Alanine, Proline, Disodium Phosphate, Centella Asiatica Oil, Glyceryl Linolenate, Glyceryl Arachidonate, Tropolone, Retinyl Palmitate, Biotin, Thiamine, Folic Acid, Pyridoxine, Menadione, Cyanocobalamin, Fragrance, Linalool): 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.
- Vitamin C active ((Sodium Cocoyl Apple Amino Acids, Potassium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Oat Protein, Saponaria Officinalis Leaf Extract, Quillaja Saponaria Bark Extract, Sapindus Mukurossi Fruit Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Stearic Acid, Erythritol, Hexylene Glycol, Lactobacillus/Milk Ferment Filtrate, Panthenol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,3-Butanediol, Candida Bombicola/Glucose/Methyl Rapeseedate Ferment, Calendula Officinalis Flower Oil, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Disodium EDTA, Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Calendula Officinalis Extract, Dipropylene Glycol, Xylitylglucoside, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Babassuamidopropyl Betaine, Anhydroxylitol, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Phaseolus Radiatus Seed Extract, Hydrolyzed Ginseng Saponins, Xylitol, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Camellia Oleifera Seed Extract, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Asiaticoside, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Centella Asiatica Extract, Albumen Extract, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid, Glucose, Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract, Maltodextrin, Hydrolyzed Acacia Macrostachya Seed Extract, Olea Europaea Leaf Extract, Yucca Schidigera Leaf/Root/Stem Extract, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Grapeseed Oil, Glyceryl Laurate, Xanthan Gum, Glycolipids, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Dioscorea Opposita (Wild Yam) Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Ginseng Berry Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Sodium Benzoate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Sodium Surfactin, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Citric Acid, Tocopherol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sapindus Trifoliatus Fruit Extract, Potassium Sorbate, Ceramide NP, Ribes Nigrum (Black Currant) Seed Oil, Phytosphingosine, Niacinamide, Serine, Gypsophila Paniculata Root Extract, Alanine, Proline, Disodium Phosphate, Centella Asiatica Oil, Glyceryl Linolenate, Glyceryl Arachidonate, Tropolone, Retinyl Palmitate, Biotin, Thiamine, Folic Acid, Pyridoxine, Menadione, Cyanocobalamin, Fragrance, Linalool): Dermatologists say children don't need vitamin C serums and that they can cause redness, burning, or peeling on young skin (American Academy of Dermatology, American Academy of Pediatrics).
