Common questions

Is Clinique Daily Calm Gentle Cream Cleanser fragrance-free?

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

Does Clinique Daily Calm Gentle Cream Cleanser contain alcohol?

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

Is Clinique Daily Calm Gentle Cream Cleanser safe for fungal acne?

It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (hydrogenated ethylhexyl olivate, octyldodecyl stearoyl stearate, magnesium myristate). 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 Clinique Daily Calm Gentle 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.
