Common questions
Is La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Eyes Intensive Dark Circles Corrector fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.
Does La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Eyes Intensive Dark Circles Corrector 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 La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Eyes Intensive Dark Circles Corrector safe for fungal acne?
It contains 8 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty acids (stearic acid); fatty-acid esters & glycerides (isopropyl palmitate, glyceryl stearate, peg-100 stearate); plant oils & butters (butyrospermum parkii butter); and 3 more. 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 Mela B3 Eyes Intensive Dark Circles Corrector 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.
