I have reactive skin. What should I know before trying this cream? — Day face cream with teo extract + rose oil victoria beauty 50 ml

It depends on what your skin reacts to. This cream contains rose oil, and the product information mentions its floral scent, so fragrance is part of the formula. Fragrance can be a trigger for people with very reactive skin, so patch testing is especially important here.

To patch test, apply a small amount to the inside of your forearm or behind the ear once a day for a few days before using it on your face. If no redness, itching or stinging appears, the product is more likely to be tolerated. On the face, avoid the eye area entirely, because face creams can irritate eyes. Start with a thin layer rather than a generous amount.

The snail extract contains allantoin, which is known for a soothing feel, but that does not guarantee the finished product is suitable for everyone, especially because the formula also contains botanical oil and fragrance. If you have a chronic skin condition or are under a dermatologist's care, ask that specialist before adding a new cosmetic to your routine. Stop use if irritation develops. This cream is a cosmetic product and is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any disease.
