Does La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Iso-biome Soothing Moisturising Cream contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.
Is La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Iso-biome Soothing Moisturising Cream safe for fungal acne?
It contains 6 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty acids (stearic acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid); fatty-acid esters & glycerides (myristyl myristate, glyceryl stearate se); 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 La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Iso-biome Soothing Moisturising Cream suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
