Common questions

Is Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel fragrance-free?

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

Does Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel contain alcohol?

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

Is Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel safe for fungal acne?

It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: ferments (saccharomyces lysate extract, lactobacillus ferment). 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 Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel 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.
