Common questions

Is COSRX The Ceramide Skin Barrier Moisturizer fragrance-free?

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

Does COSRX The Ceramide Skin Barrier Moisturizer contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain behenyl alcohol and c14-22 alcohols: fatty alcohols that soften and thicken the formula and aren't drying.

Is COSRX The Ceramide Skin Barrier Moisturizer safe for fungal acne?

It contains 6 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty acids (palmitic acid, stearic acid); fatty-acid esters & glycerides (pentaerythrityl tetraisostearate, polyglyceryl-10 laurate, ethylhexyl palmitate); and 1 more. 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 COSRX The Ceramide Skin Barrier Moisturizer 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.
