Common questions

Is CeraVe Balancing Air Foam Foaming Facial Cleanser fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.

Does CeraVe Balancing Air Foam Foaming Facial Cleanser contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.

Is CeraVe Balancing Air Foam Foaming Facial Cleanser safe for fungal acne?

It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (sodium lauroyl lactylate). How much it matters depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.

Is CeraVe Balancing Air Foam Foaming Facial Cleanser suitable for sensitive skin?

Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils or drying alcohol are listed, and its salicylic acid is rinsed off, so it has less time to irritate. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
