Common questions

Is L'Oréal Paris Hydra Genius Aloe Water fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 35th of 35 ingredients.

Does L'Oréal Paris Hydra Genius Aloe Water contain alcohol?

Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 3rd of 35 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 L'Oréal Paris Hydra Genius Aloe Water safe for fungal acne?

It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (ethylhexyl palmitate). 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.
