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 Revision Skincare Purifying Cleansing Gel safe to use during pregnancy?

Jouaxia rates Revision Skincare Purifying Cleansing Gel "Use caution" for pregnancy because it contains Salicylic Acid. Salicylic acid / BHA: ACOG says over-the-counter salicylic acid products may be used if needed, but absorption rises with frequent use or large areas; avoid high-strength peels (MotherToBaby/ACOG, Bozzo et al. 2011). This is general information, not medical advice. Check with your OB-GYN or dermatologist.

Does Revision Skincare Purifying Cleansing Gel contain fragrance or other common allergens?

Yes. Revision Skincare Purifying Cleansing Gel 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)

Use with care

  • Acne treatment (Salicylic Acid): Benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and adapalene treat acne well, but for children under 12 it's best to check with a doctor first, and to start gently.
  • 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 (Fragrance (Parfum)): 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

  • 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.

Helps with acne: Salicylic Acid.
