| Generall, it is not. However, some people develop irritation/sensitivity to ALA, in which case they shouldn't use it. |

| If it is inflammation, then wrinkle-smoothing effect will disappear a few days after the product s is discontinued. In any case, it is best not to use concentrations causing irritation. |
