I have some Neck and Decoltee Serum from Devita, they usually use only good quality and natural ingredients, but this serum has Cyclomethicone and Dimethicone listed as ingredients.

Are these silicones, and should they be avoided on the skin (as for on the hair like Pantene products)?

The serum hasn't seemed to cause any problems on my skin as yet, but I've only used it 2 days.

Thanks

Yes, silicones. Just Google them and you'll see.

I know how silicones react with hair, and they should react the same way with skin, only not as badly because skin cells shed. I'd still avoid them tho.
