Common questions

Is CeraVe Skin Renewing 10% Pure Vitamin C Serum fragrance-free?

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

Does CeraVe Skin Renewing 10% Pure Vitamin C Serum contain alcohol?

Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 6th of 26 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin. It also contains cetearyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.

Is CeraVe Skin Renewing 10% Pure Vitamin C Serum safe for fungal acne?

It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (sodium lauroyl lactylate, isopropyl myristate). 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.
