Is CeraVe Skin Renewing Eye Cream fragrance-free?
No fragrance-free claim has been recorded. The ingredient list hasn't been reviewed as a complete formula, so we can't confirm it has no scent ingredients.
Is CeraVe Skin Renewing Eye Cream suitable for all skin types?
The brand lists it for all skin types.
Is the cetearyl alcohol in this formula drying?
No. Cetearyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens a formula. It isn't the drying alcohol (ethanol) people try to avoid.
Does the formula list niacinamide?
Yes. The label lists Niacinamide.
