Common questions
Is Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients. Clinique also describes it as fragrance-free.
Does Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.
Is Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator safe for fungal acne?
It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty acids (linoleic acid); fatty-acid esters & glycerides (isopropyl isostearate, pyridoxine dipalmitate). 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 Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator 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.
