Common questions

Is Clinique For Men Skincare Starter Kit fragrance-free?

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

Does Clinique For Men Skincare Starter Kit contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain cetearyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.

Is Clinique For Men Skincare Starter Kit safe for fungal acne?

It contains 10 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate, dextrin palmitate, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate); plant oils & butters (butyrospermum parkii (shea) oil); ferments (alteromonas ferment extract); and 5 more. 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.
