Common questions

Is Clinique Superdefense City Block SPF50 Daily Energy + Face Protector fragrance-free?

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

Does Clinique Superdefense City Block SPF50 Daily Energy + Face Protector contain alcohol?

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

Is Clinique Superdefense City Block SPF50 Daily Energy + Face Protector safe for fungal acne?

It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty acids (polyhydroxystearic acid); fatty-acid esters & glycerides (peg-8 laurate). 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 Superdefense City Block SPF50 Daily Energy + Face Protector 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.
