Well-cared-for skin without fragrance? No problem. Discover your fragrance-free routine here in five simple steps: cleansing, toner, exfoliation, serum, and day cream.
1. Cleansing
Start your day or evening with a gentle, fragrance-free facial cleanser that removes dirt and makeup without damaging your skin's protective layer. Think of a gel or cream based on, for example, ceramides or glycerin. Avoid cleansers with fragrances that can cause irritation.
2. Toner
Use a gentle, alcohol-free fragrance-free toner to restore your skin's pH level and prepare your skin for the serum layer. Look for products with soothing ingredients such as panthenol or niacinamide. Avoid toners with added fragrances or alcohol that can cause dryness.
3. Exfoliation
A gentle exfoliant, for example with lactic acid or salicylic acid, helps remove dead skin cells and makes your skin more radiant. Always choose a product that is formulated without fragrances. Use it 1 to 2 times a week, depending on your skin type.
4. Serum
A fragrance-free serum with active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or niacinamide gives your skin extra nourishment and hydration. This step intensifies the care without unnecessary additives. Check that no hidden fragrances or essential oils have been added, unless explicitly stated.
5. (Day) cream
Finish with a fragrance-free day cream that strengthens your skin barrier. Look for moisturizing ingredients such as ceramides, fatty acids, or squalane. If you need sun protection, choose a fragrance-free cream with SPF. This keeps your routine effective and safe.
Tips for your fragrance-free routine
- Apply products in the correct order: from thinnest to thickest, from light to rich textures.
- Add one new product at a time. This way you can see exactly how your skin reacts.
- Use products that are free from synthetic fragrances and EU fragrance allergens.
- Test new products on a small patch of skin on your neck or behind your ear first.
Frequently asked questions
1. Can I skip the toner?
Yes, especially with dry or sensitive skin you can skip the toner and go straight to the serum.
2. Should I also use a day cream in the evening?
You can choose a night cream without SPF. It is often richer in ingredients but without fragrance.
3. How do I know if a product is really fragrance-free?
Check the ingredients list for terms like “fragrance” or INCI ingredients such as linalool and limonene. At Parfumvrij.nl we always honestly state whether essential oils have been added.

Start with cleansing and moisturizing. Add products one by one and keep it simple. This minimizes the risk of irritation.
