Some perfumes or colognes contain instructions not to apply them onto areas of the skin which are exposed to sunlight. Does this also include skincare products that have a fragrance?
The type or production method of fragrances used in skincare products are different from fragrances used in perfumes or cologne. Therefore, there is no problem with skincare products containing fragrance. Perfumes and colognes were created to delight people with the scent. Though Shiseido products are made according to strict standards, these instructions are displayed to notify customers of the possibility that some users, especially those with sensitive skin, may experience some skin trouble due to sunlight exposure. On the other hand, fragrances used in skincare products meet stringent safety standards, and these skincare products will not cause blemishes due to sunlight exposure. It has recently been discovered that some kinds of scents have special effects on the skin, such as skincare effects which improve skin roughness or slimming effects. Shiseido has been developing safe products to bring out the best effects of each fragrance.
