Common questions

Is La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Aquagel SPF30 fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 25th of 25 ingredients.

Does La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Aquagel SPF30 contain alcohol?

Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 7th of 25 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin.

Is La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Aquagel SPF30 safe for fungal acne?

It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (dextrin palmitate). How much it matters 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.
