Common questions
Is COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.
Does COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream 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 COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream safe for fungal acne?
It contains 4 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (cetearyl olivate, sorbitan olivate); plant oils & butters (helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, macadamia temifola seep oil). 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 COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream 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.
