Common questions

Is Clinique Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients. Clinique also describes it as fragrance-free.

Does Clinique Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.

Is Clinique Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam safe for fungal acne?

None of the ingredients usually flagged for fungal acne are listed: fatty acids with 11–24 carbons and their esters, polysorbates, plant oils and butters, or ferments. 2 of its ingredients aren't in our glossary yet, so check those yourself. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.

Is Clinique Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam suitable for sensitive skin?

Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils or drying alcohol are listed, and its salicylic acid is rinsed off, so it has less time to irritate. Clinique also recommends it for sensitive skin. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
