Common questions
Is La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Clarifying Gel Cleanser fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 23rd of 23 ingredients.
Does La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Clarifying Gel Cleanser contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.
Is La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Clarifying Gel Cleanser safe for fungal acne?
It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate). How much it matters 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 Mela B3 Clarifying Gel Cleanser suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
