Common questions

Is CeraVe Skin Renewing Brightening Vitamin C Cleanser fragrance-free?

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

Does CeraVe Skin Renewing Brightening Vitamin C Cleanser contain alcohol?

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

Is CeraVe Skin Renewing Brightening Vitamin C Cleanser safe for fungal acne?

It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (peg-150 distearate, sodium lauroyl lactylate). 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 Skin Renewing Brightening Vitamin C Cleanser suitable for sensitive skin?

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