Neogen Dermalogy Real Vitamin C Serum is a serum with 45 ingredients. It has no ingredients Jouaxia flags for pregnancy. Common allergens: fragrance, essential oils, niacinamide.
Sensitive skin: fragrance, essential oils, 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.
- essential oils: Plant oils such as tea tree, lavender, citrus peel, and peppermint. Natural, but a common cause of irritation and allergies, especially on sensitive or broken 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)
Use with care
- Vitamin C active (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Ascorbic Acid): 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). We can't see the strength, so low amounts are flagged too.
- Fragrance or essential oils (Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Linalool, Limonene): 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
- Essential oils (Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil): A known cause of allergic skin reactions, such as to lavender and tea tree oils.
Helps with acne: Niacinamide.
