Common questions

Is Neutrogena Retinol Boost Night Cream fragrance-free?

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

Does Neutrogena Retinol Boost Night Cream contain alcohol?

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

Is Neutrogena Retinol Boost Night Cream safe for fungal acne?

It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: polysorbates (polysorbate 20). How much it matters 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.
