Common questions

Is The Ordinary Glycolipid Cream Cleanser fragrance-free?

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

Does The Ordinary Glycolipid Cream Cleanser contain alcohol?

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

Is The Ordinary Glycolipid Cream Cleanser safe for fungal acne?

It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (polyglyceryl-2 stearate, glyceryl stearate). 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 The Ordinary Glycolipid Cream Cleanser 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.
