It is immediately obvious that this is an anti-imperfection serum. Salicylic acid, sodium bisulfite, niacinamide and potassium azeloyl diglycinate work to improve skin tone and combat the effects of acne and post-acne.
Salicylic acid (Salicylic Acid) - it is important that the percentage of salicylic acid input does not reach its ceiling of 2% (this is the maximum permissible concentration of salicylic acid in cosmetics, according to the requirements of TR CU 009/2011). It is worth considering that people whose skin is highly sensitive, it is better to be careful with such a component.
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil - many are ambiguous about it. But from the point of view of TR CU 009/2011, it is safe and is introduced into the product to solubilize the perfume.
Propanediol is a humectant, a la glycerin. Only the latter is trihydric alcohol, and propylene glycol is dihydric. It is usually added in small amounts, so it will not harm you.
Chlorphenesin is a preservative. From the point of view of the TR CU, it is safe. Has a pronounced antimicrobial activity. It is good against yeast and mold - this is important. Not all preservatives have this activity. Subject to the regulations of the percentage of input, it has no drawbacks.
Phenoxyethanol is also a preservative. By itself, phenoxyethanol is rarely used; to increase its load, it is combined with other preservatives.
Of the good components, useful ones are worth highlighting: lemon, pumpkin, chamomile.
In terms of organoleptic properties, it is a light water-based serum.
Serum has almost no cons. And of the obvious advantages: it is thickened by xanthan gum (not acrylates), and food preservatives, among others, are preserved.
I believe that this serum has no contraindications. I think it is quite possible to use it for rosacea, and even for those whose skin is particularly sensitive.
