Product Information

The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it. Now, you may be wondering which spenny rival I made reference to in the title of this blog. Well, it’s Temple Spa’s Skin Truffle. Now, I’m not going to sit here at slate this product, it’s still really, really good. It’s so luxurious but the downside for me was the pilling (the product rolling up into little balls as I rubbed it in), meaning the product wasn’t really soaking in properly. Which is why, given the choice, I would definitely plump for the Lidl version. They help loosen up the dirt and grime from your skin and hair to allow for water to wash it away with ease.

There's still a lot of support for avoiding parabens following the better safe than sorry route. If you do we completely support you! However some sulfates are so good at their job, they can wash off your skin’s own natural oils that keep it moisturised and protected which can lead to dryness and irritation. Most people will find no issues with sulfate, however if you find your skin doesn't like sulfates then free feel to avoid them by looking out for the sulfate-free icon on Skincarisma. The first thing you’ll probably notice about this cream is the luxuriously silky texture the cream has. This makes it really nice to apply – it glides onto the skin beautifully. One of my biggest issues with face creams is when they don’t sink in properly and just sit on the skin, but thankfully this one absorbs really well and leaves the skin feeling plumped, soft and smooth. Before using this face cream, I was having a few issues with my skin. As well as having flare ups of spots, I was also experiencing dry patches. Combination skin is bloody annoying! This cream managed to resolve my skin issues. Well, I have to admit, it probably wasn’t this product alone as I’ve also been using this wonder cleanser combined with this stuff religiously, but I do think the Lidl Cien cream has made a dramatic difference to my skin.

There has been some healthy controversy surrounding them due to a few studies finding paraben presence in breast tumours and breast tissue. However, the majority of the scientific community have deemed these findings non-conclusive due to the limitations of these studies. At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on. Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products. If not, don't worry about it - they do have had one of the longest safety records as preservatives! For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.

So, next time you are whizzing round the supermarket, linger in the toiletries aisle a little longer and you may well be pleasantly surprised! As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
