You may have heard that fragrance in skincare is not suitable for all skin types -- but is it actually bad? The short answer is, no!
Fragrance in skincare is not actually bad
The reason some people say fragrance-free products are better is because fragrance may cause symptoms such as redness and irritation. However, this is not the case for all skin types.
As with any skincare product or ingredient, fragrance in skincare products is not necessarily bad -- it just depends on your skin's tolerance. If your skin is not particularly sensitive, you can use products with fragrance, no problem!
Can my skin tolerate fragrance?
To know whether or not your skin can tolerate fragrance in skincare products, patch testing is crucial.
Here's how you can patch test:
- Apply a small amount of product on one part of your face only.
- Do this for one week and monitor your skin condition.
- If there is any negative reaction, STOP using the product immediately.
- Let your skin recover. Then, you can try patch testing again.
- Repeat steps 1-2. If there is still a negative reaction, it's best to stop using the product. It might not be suitable for your skin.

But we've also received some feedback requesting products with fragrance, so we decided to introduce Skintella Cleansing Sherbet Petites!
