Common questions
Is La Roche-Posay Cicaplast B5 Face Serum fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients. La Roche-Posay also describes it as fragrance-free.
Does La Roche-Posay Cicaplast B5 Face Serum contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 4th of 16 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin.
Is La Roche-Posay Cicaplast B5 Face Serum safe for fungal acne?
It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (peg-20 methyl glucose sesquistearate); ferments (vitreoscilla ferment). 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 La Roche-Posay Cicaplast B5 Face Serum suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains drying alcohol high in the list, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
