Common questions

Is Clinique UV Solutions Brightening + Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50 fragrance-free?

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

Does Clinique UV Solutions Brightening + Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50 contain alcohol?

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

Is Clinique UV Solutions Brightening + Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50 safe for fungal acne?

It contains 4 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty acids (polyhydroxystearic acid, isostearic acid); fatty-acid esters & glycerides (polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate, polyglyceryl-3 polyricinoleate). 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 UV Solutions Brightening + Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50 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.
