Common questions

Is Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream Hydrating Colour Corrector Broad Spectrum SPF 30 fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.

Does Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream Hydrating Colour Corrector Broad Spectrum SPF 30 contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain behenyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.

Is Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream Hydrating Colour Corrector Broad Spectrum SPF 30 safe for fungal acne?

It contains 10 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty acids (linoleic acid); fatty-acid esters & glycerides (glyceryl stearate, peg-40 stearate, polyglyceryl-10 pentastearate); ferments (thermus thermophillus ferment); and 5 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 Moisture Surge CC Cream Hydrating Colour Corrector Broad Spectrum SPF 30 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.
