Common questions

Is Clinique Hydration Heroes: Skincare Set fragrance-free?

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

Does Clinique Hydration Heroes: Skincare Set contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain cetyl alcohol and cetearyl alcohol: fatty alcohols that soften and thicken the formula and aren't drying.

Is Clinique Hydration Heroes: Skincare Set safe for fungal acne?

It contains 12 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty acids (linoleic acid, linoleic acid); fatty-acid esters & glycerides (isopropyl isostearate, pyridoxine dipalmitate, isostearyl palmitate); and 7 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 Clinique Hydration Heroes: Skincare Set suitable for sensitive skin?

Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils, drying alcohol or strong exfoliating acids are listed. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
