Common questions
Is L'Oréal Paris Cell Renew Midnight Cream fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 49th of 49 ingredients.
Does L'Oréal Paris Cell Renew Midnight Cream contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain stearyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.
Is L'Oréal Paris Cell Renew Midnight Cream safe for fungal acne?
It contains 8 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (bis-behenyl, peg-20 stearate); plant oils & butters (butyrospermum parkii butter, limnanthes alba seed oil); ferments (saccharomyces/xylinum/black tea ferment); 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 L'Oréal Paris Cell Renew Midnight Cream suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
