Common questions

Is La Roche-Posay HyaluB5 Hyaluronic Acid Cream fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 28th of 28 ingredients.

Does La Roche-Posay HyaluB5 Hyaluronic Acid Cream contain alcohol?

Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 7th of 28 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 HyaluB5 Hyaluronic Acid Cream safe for fungal acne?

None of the ingredients usually flagged for fungal acne are listed: fatty acids with 11–24 carbons and their esters, polysorbates, plant oils and butters, or ferments. 3 of its ingredients aren't in our glossary yet, so check those yourself. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
