Common questions

Is Estée Lauder DayWear Matte Oil-Control Anti-Oxidant Moisturiser Gel Crème fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Fragrance (Parfum)") is the 42nd of 51 ingredients.

Does Estée Lauder DayWear Matte Oil-Control Anti-Oxidant Moisturiser Gel Crème contain alcohol?

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

Is Estée Lauder DayWear Matte Oil-Control Anti-Oxidant Moisturiser Gel Crème safe for fungal acne?

It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate); ferments (thermus thermophillus ferment, lactobacillus ferment). 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 Estée Lauder DayWear Matte Oil-Control Anti-Oxidant Moisturiser Gel Crème suitable for sensitive skin?

It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
