Gel pens in GCSE/ A level exams

Hi! Would someone be penalised for using gel pens in an exam if they were black - would the paper not be able to be marked? I just realised my brother has been using gel pens for his past few GCSE exams and I have my A levels next week so should I tell him not to use them or would that just stress him out. For reference these are the pens: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Journaling-Waterproof-Rollerball-Writing-Sketching/dp/B0819S2YTP?pd_rd_w=HYDmN&content-id=amzn1.sym.38f90169-67d8-49b7-8ef1-61bdff262c06&pf_rd_p=38f90169-67d8-49b7-8ef1-61bdff262c06&pf_rd_r=T1EP7WPAKV079TTB68RJ&pd_rd_wg=BUyUp&pd_rd_r=28e56261-082b-48e9-a68f-156578229920&pd_rd_i=B0819S2YTP&psc=1&ref_=pd_basp_m_rpt_ba_s_oos_1_sc
