Common questions
Is Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Cleansing Balm fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Methyldihydrojasmonate") is the 13th of 17 ingredients.
Does Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Cleansing Balm contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.
Is Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Cleansing Balm safe for fungal acne?
It contains 4 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (ethylhexyl palmitate, sorbeth-30 tetraoleate, peg-5 glyceryl triisostearate); plant oils & butters (carthamus tinctorius (safflower) seed oil). 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 Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Cleansing Balm suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
