Common questions
Is Estée Lauder Perfectionist Pro Rapid Firm + Lift Serum fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Fragrance (Parfum)") is the 80th of 94 ingredients.
Does Estée Lauder Perfectionist Pro Rapid Firm + Lift Serum contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.
Is Estée Lauder Perfectionist Pro Rapid Firm + Lift Serum safe for fungal acne?
It contains 12 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: polysorbates (polysorbate 20); plant oils & butters (coffea arabica (coffee) seed oil, mangifera indica (mango) seed butter); ferments (hydrolyzed yeast protein, crithmum maritimum callus culture filtrate); and 7 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 Perfectionist Pro Rapid Firm + Lift Serum suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
