Common questions
Is Estée Lauder DayWear Sheer Tint Release Moisturiser SPF15 fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Fragrance (Parfum)") is the 58th of 71 ingredients.
Does Estée Lauder DayWear Sheer Tint Release Moisturiser SPF15 contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain behenyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol: fatty alcohols that soften and thicken the formula and aren't drying.
Is Estée Lauder DayWear Sheer Tint Release Moisturiser SPF15 safe for fungal acne?
It contains 7 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty acids (linolenic acid); fatty-acid esters & glycerides (caprylic, cetyl ricinoleate); plant oils & butters (coffea arabica (coffee) seed oil); ferments (saccharomyces lysate extract); and 2 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.
Is Estée Lauder DayWear Sheer Tint Release Moisturiser SPF15 suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
