Common questions

Is CeraVe Purifying Micellar Water Removes Makeup & Unclogs Pores fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.

Does CeraVe Purifying Micellar Water Removes Makeup & Unclogs Pores contain alcohol?

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

Is CeraVe Purifying Micellar Water Removes Makeup & Unclogs Pores safe for fungal acne?

It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (sodium lauroyl lactylate); polysorbates (polysorbate 20). 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 CeraVe Purifying Micellar Water Removes Makeup & Unclogs Pores suitable for sensitive skin?

Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils or drying alcohol are listed, and its glycolic acid is rinsed off, so it has less time to irritate. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
