Common questions

Is CeraVe Dry-Touch HA Water Gel Moisturiser fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients. CeraVe also describes it as fragrance-free.

Does CeraVe Dry-Touch HA Water Gel Moisturiser 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 CeraVe Dry-Touch HA Water Gel Moisturiser safe for fungal acne?

It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (sodium lauroyl lactylate). 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 CeraVe Dry-Touch HA Water Gel Moisturiser 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.
