Common questions
Is CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.
Does CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum 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 Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum safe for fungal acne?
It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (sodium lauroyl lactylate, isopropyl myristate). 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 Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum 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.
