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.

never gave it a change due to fragrances and since i had a bunch of cystic acne, i thought i had sensitive skin and avoided it. however, i am not kidding when i say this thing does not break me out at all. super light and very moisturising. like, very, very moisturising. it literally gave me baby skin.
extremely good if you’re looking for a moisturizing mask that gives you a baby skin feel! I have dry skin and everytime I use this, I wake up with the smoothest and bouncy skin! definitely recommended for the dry skins. if you have oily-skins, this could be quite heavy for you though so it really depends on how well the skin will take it!
