Common questions

Is CeraVe Brightening Even Tone Lotion fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients. CeraVe also describes it as fragrance-free.

Does CeraVe Brightening Even Tone Lotion contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain cetearyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.

Is CeraVe Brightening Even Tone Lotion safe for fungal acne?

It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (glyceryl stearate, sodium lauroyl lactylate). How much they matter 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 Brightening Even Tone Lotion suitable for sensitive skin?

Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils, drying alcohol or strong exfoliating acids are listed. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
