Common questions
Is Estée Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Primer fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Methyldihydrojasmonate") is the 32nd of 61 ingredients.
Does Estée Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Primer contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.
Is Estée Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Primer safe for fungal acne?
It contains 4 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (ethylhexyl palmitate, tribehenin, sorbitan isostearate); plant oils & butters (simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil). 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 Futurist Aqua Brilliance Primer suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
