Coco-Caprylate may not be fungal acne safe.

Also called "fragrance", this ingredient can be a blend of hundreds of chemicals or plant oils. This means every product with "fragrance" or "parfum" in the ingredients list is a different mixture.
In the US, the alternative name for parfum is 'fragrance'.
The term 'fragrance' is not regulated in many countries. In many cases, it is up to the brand to define this term.
For instance, many brands choose to label themselves as "fragrance-free" because they are not using synthetic fragrances. However, their products may still contain ingredients such as essential oils that are considered a fragrance by INCI standards.
One example is Calendula flower extract. Calendula is an essential oil that still imparts a scent or 'fragrance'.
Depending on the blend, the ingredients in the mixture can cause allergies and sensitivities on the skin. Some ingredients that are known EU allergens include linalool and citronellol.
Parfum can also be used to mask or cover an unpleasant scent.
The bottom line is: not all fragrances/parfum/ingredients are created equally. If you are worried about fragrances, we recommend taking a closer look at an ingredient. And of course, we always recommend speaking with a professional.

Misleading. Burns, irritating, and ingredients are bad
I’ll begin with I have sensitive skin, but this was supposed to be “gentle” and for sensitive skin. It is not at all. It burned shortly after application and was itchy. It made my skin so oily too. It is a super oily product, but reviews said it isn’t oily when on and that is not true. It is so oily and made me so shiny. It is so runny it is so oily. It also caused breakouts all over my face from the oil and I had none. I did not check the ingredients beforehand either, but they are not good at all so just for that I would beware. I believe the company is just pushing a super hard influencer campaign to market their product and that’s the source of all the “good” reviews. It is not “good” at all.

I've used this product for so many years as it really does a good job with fading out post-acne marks. The texture and the smell are also incredible.
However, i've recently stopped using it because despite it not breaking me out, I didn't loved the slightly oily feeling that it left on my skin. I'm sure it's not a big deal for many people, but it might make you look a little bit greasy if you're very oily.
And sadly, I have to say the price has been increasing a lot lately like many other Caudalie products to the point I don't think they're worth it anymore (I mean, they're really good, but for some reason they're trying to get closer to a luxury line). In fact, I've just found out that The Ordinary "Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA" does a very similar job with fading hyperpigmentation, and also has Hyaluronic Acid that works in fine lines like magic, and it's 36€ less expensive. So if anyone's interesting, there's my recommendation.
