Common questions

Is Clinique Clarifying Lotion Twice A Day Exfoliator 2 fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients. Clinique also describes it as fragrance-free.

Does Clinique Clarifying Lotion Twice A Day Exfoliator 2 contain alcohol?

Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 2nd of 12 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin.

Is Clinique Clarifying Lotion Twice A Day Exfoliator 2 safe for fungal acne?

None of the ingredients usually flagged for fungal acne are listed: fatty acids with 11–24 carbons and their esters, polysorbates, plant oils and butters, or ferments. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
