Common questions
Is CeraVe Skin Renewing Super Boost Serum fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients. CeraVe also describes it as fragrance-free.
Does CeraVe Skin Renewing Super Boost 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 Skin Renewing Super Boost Serum safe for fungal acne?
It contains 4 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (isopropyl isostearate, glyceryl stearate, sodium lauroyl lactylate, polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate). 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 Skin Renewing Super Boost 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.
