EFFECTS ON SKIN FROM INGREDIENTS

By skin type
Icon for oily skin: a drop

1

2 good ingredient(s) for Oily Skin:

#18: NIACINAMIDE

#31: ALUMINA

1 bad ingredient(s) for Oily Skin:

#13: ARGANIA SPINOSA KERNEL OIL

💡 PRO-TIP 1: The efficiency of a product is not only affected by the single ingredients but also by the product formulation. The only way to find out more about the product formulation is by reading product reviews (or using the product).

💡 PRO-TIP 2: Pay extra attention to the first 5 ingredients (#1 - #5) of the ingredient list since they make up most of the product. The remaining ingredients have barely any effect on the skin (there are exceptions).

💡 PRO-TIP 3: It is pretty much possible for anyone to have skin reactions to anything/ any ingredient. Therefore test new products carefully (small amounts, patch tests on parts of the skin). Pay also attention to the recommendations for use of the manufacturer.
