Oftentimes, Methylparaben is combined with other parabens to help increase the shelf life.
The safety of Methylparaben is currently being studied. While ongoing studies are looking into the safety of parabens, the results have been very mixed. Some studies have not found Methylparaben to be harmful.

Medinova - Hiruscar Anti Acne Advance Spot Gel 28 ingredients
At first this gel helped to take out a developing whitehead quickly. But it left my skin feeling irritated and cystic acne developed after I rubbed the gel around an affected area.
