Common questions
Is Eucerin Oil Control Dry Touch Sun Cream SPF50+ fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 32nd of 32 ingredients.
Does Eucerin Oil Control Dry Touch Sun Cream SPF50+ contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 2nd of 32 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin. It also contains behenyl alcohol and cetearyl alcohol: fatty alcohols that soften and thicken the formula and aren't drying.
Is Eucerin Oil Control Dry Touch Sun Cream SPF50+ safe for fungal acne?
It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (glyceryl stearate | glycerin, cetyl palmitate); plant oils & butters (hydrogenated rapeseed 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 Eucerin Oil Control Dry Touch Sun Cream SPF50+ suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance and drying alcohol high in the list, which can bother sensitive skin. Eucerin says it's made for sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
