Common questions

Is Bioderma Sebium Ultra-Nourishing Cream Very Dry Acne-Prone Skin fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Fragrance (Parfum)") is the 25th of 25 ingredients.

Does Bioderma Sebium Ultra-Nourishing Cream Very Dry Acne-Prone Skin contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.

Is Bioderma Sebium Ultra-Nourishing Cream Very Dry Acne-Prone Skin safe for fungal acne?

It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (ethylhexyl palmitate); polysorbates (polysorbate 80). 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.
