Common questions
Is La Roche-Posay Vitamin C12 Serum Anti-Wrinkle and Radiance Restoring Serum fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 30th of 30 ingredients.
Does La Roche-Posay Vitamin C12 Serum Anti-Wrinkle and Radiance Restoring Serum contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 5th of 30 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 Vitamin C12 Serum Anti-Wrinkle and Radiance Restoring Serum safe for fungal acne?
It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (peg-20 methyl glucose sesquistearate). 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.
Is La Roche-Posay Vitamin C12 Serum Anti-Wrinkle and Radiance Restoring Serum suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance and drying alcohol high in the list, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
Is there a dupe for La Roche-Posay Vitamin C12 Serum Anti-Wrinkle and Radiance Restoring Serum?
The closest formula from another brand in our catalogue is L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Clinical 12% Pure Vitamin C Brightening Serum (71% ingredient overlap, 10 of the top 10 ingredients in common). A similar ingredient list doesn't guarantee the same concentrations, texture or results.
