Pregnancy safe skincare and makeup can be super difficult and confusing. I have an entire guide devoted to what products are safe to use while pregnant including information on what ingredients to avoid while pregnant and a huge list of pregnancy safe skincare products.
Here you’ll find pregnancy safe skincare and makeup products from Clinique as of 12/4/2022. If it is not safe, I’ll tell you why. All of the products meet my pregnancy safe criteria. Note I will link to every product directly to avoid confusion. You’ll know exactly which product I mean.
Don’t See Your Product? Read This Before You Ask About It…
Please read the Pregnancy Beauty Guide intro first, where you will learn which products you actually need to worry about (spoiler alert, you don’t need to worry about all makeup or hair products). I will not review products that fall into the “don’t worry about it” categories. If you want to ask about a specific product, I require that you follow these guidelines for asking about pregnancy/nursing safety. You can also learn more about how to use these pregnancy safety lists. I will delete questions that don’t follow the guidelines or are rude.

Looks ok for both pregnancy and nursing
Hi, thank you so much for all your work to create these lists! I just wanted to ask about clinique superdefense night. Ingredients are Water\Aqua\Eau, Glycerin, Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Glyceryl Stearate, Polymethyl Methacrylate, PEG-100 Stearate, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate, Hexyldecyl Stearate, Petrolatum, Cetearyl Alcohol, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Phenyl Trimethicone, Cetyl Ricinoleate, Sigesbeckia Orientalis (St. Paul’S Wort) Extract, Centella Asiatica (Hydrocotyl) Extract, Salvia Sclarea (Clary) Extract, Chlorella Vulgaris Extract, Laminaria Digitata Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter, Caffeine, Lecithin, Micrococcus Lysate, Ergothioneine, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Whey Protein\Lactis Protein\Protéine Du Petit-Lait, Cetearyl Glucoside, Ethylhexylglycerin, Dimethicone, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Isohexadecane, Sodium Hyaluronate, Polysorbate 80, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Protein, Tocopheryl Acetate, Caprylyl Glycol, Tromethamine, Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer, Citric Acid, Hexylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Disodium EDTA, Mica, Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891)
Safe for pregnancy and nursing
Hi! Your posts are very helpful… Just wanted to ask though about Clinique Moisture Surge 72-hr Replenishing Hydrator. It’s listed as safe but it has Tocopheryl Acetate (a form of Hydroquinone) and I read in one of your posts that Hydroquinones are not safe during pregnancy…
Also, is Clinique Even Better Powder Makeup Water Veil safe?
Ingredients:
Synthetic Fluorphlogopite , Titanium Dioxide , Boron Nitride , Hdi/Ppg/Polycaprolactone Crosspolymer , Nylon-12 , Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate , Dimethicone , Sorbitan Sesquiisostearate , Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract , Squalane , Tamarindus Indica Seed Extract , Caffeine , Stearic Acid , Cladosiphon Okamuranus Extract , Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract , Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract , Diisostearyl Malate , Hydrogen Dimethicone , Hordeum Vulgare (Barley) Extract\Extrait D’Orge , Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Extract , Glyceryl Caprylate , Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract , Ethylhexylglycerin , Lens Esculenta (Lentil) Fruit Extract , Citrullus Vulgaris (Watermelon) Fruit Extract , Algae Extract , Artemia Extract , Ergothioneine , Biotin , Sodium Lactate , Tocopherol , Bis-Peg-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane , Glycerin , Butylene Glycol , Pentylene Glycol , Sodium Pca , Trehalose , Sucrose , Acetyl Glucosamine , Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate , Jojoba Esters , Peg-32 , Caprylyl Glycol , Peg-6 , Polysorbate 20 , Dextrin , Cetyl Alcohol , Sodium Hyaluronate , Hexylene Glycol , Glyceryl Stearate , Water\Aqua\Eau , Aluminum Hydroxide , Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer , Silica , Sodium Hydroxide , Citric Acid , Hydroxyethylcellulose , Disodium Edta , Phenoxyethanol , [+/- Mica , Iron Oxides (Ci 77492) , Iron Oxides (Ci 77491) , Iron Oxides (Ci 77499) , Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891)]
Tocopheryl Acetate isn’t hydroquinone, it’s Vitamin E and definitely ok during pregnancy.
Also, no need to worry about powders.
Hi, thank you for all your work, it is so helpful to have this resource. In the spirit of being helpful, I just wanted to point out that the Clinique Acne Solutions Oil-Control Cleansing Mask listed as safe here has Salicylic Acid in it. Strangely, it’s not on the ingredients list, but if you look at the photo of the tube on the Clinique website (the link you provided), it says Salicylic Acid Acne Medication at the bottom. I have used it in the past and it had Salicylic Acid on the ingredients list that comes with the product. Thanks again for all your amazing work!
Arg!! Yes, it isn’t listed in the ingredients on any website, and when I made this list it wasn’t on the front of the packaging either (which was strange because it WAS on the front of the others), so I figured maybe it just wasn’t in this one. I’m just going to move it down. Thanks!
Hello

Safe for pregnancy and nursing
I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! I was so happy to check back and find you recently updated the Clinique list. I have been avoiding some of my favorites and am glad to see they made the safe list. Thanks for doing the research.
This information is so amazingly helpful! Thank you! Not seeing Clinique Repairwear sculpting night cream on here. Is it safe for nursing? Thank you again for these great lists!
I have already reviewed all products in this brand that I have access to their ingredient list, please refer to the post about how to request a product review. I need a full ingredient list to review your product, more info here: why I need an ingredient list to comment on product safety
So sorry, just seeing that now on your information page about contacting you. One other question I also have is: I’ve read that some places say salicylic acid isn’t safe for breastfeeding but I noticed you list it under your safe category. Cab you share with me why you consider it safe?
Here is the list of ingredients for Clinique Repairwear sculpting night cream! Thanks again!
Ingredients:
Water\Aqua\Eau, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Alcohol Denat, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Aspalathus Linearis (Red Tea) Leaf Extract, Camellia Sinensis (Yellow Tea) Leaf Extract, Betula Alba (Birch) Bark Extract, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Leaf Extract, Saccharomyces Lysate Extract, Cucumis Melo (Melon) Fruit Extract, Coleus Barbatus Extract, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Centella Asiatica (Hydrocotyl) Extract, Adenosine Phosphate, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Creatine, Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter, Sigesbeckia Orientalis (St. Paul’S Wort) Extract, Jojoba Esters, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Protein, Decarboxy Carnosine Hcl, Dimethicone, Acetyl Carnitine Hcl, Sodium Hyaluronate, Cholesterol, Whey Protein\Lactis Protein\Protéine Du Petit-Lait, Tocopheryl Acetate, Butylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate, Caffeine, Sea Whip Extract, Linoleic Acid, Phytantriol, Sodium Rna, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Yeast Extract\Faex\Extrait De Levure, PEG-150, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Polyquaternium-51, Potassium Sulfate, Citric Acid, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Sodium Citrate, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol
I’ve never seen salicylic acid mentioned to avoid for nursing, and I don’t know anyone that recommends avoiding it then. I have seen sources that mention that it is ok for pregnancy (which is controversial in the medical community and I am on the side of avoidance), and there are brands out there that say it’s ok in pregnancy under 2%. The main issue we’re avoiding in pregnancy is the salicylate related effects on the ductus arteriosus, which is a moot point after delivery as it *should* close after birth and causes issues if it doesn’t. We just don’t want it to close before birth.
This product looks fine for pregnancy and nursing
Thanks so much. This is so helpful and helps reduce a bit of anxiety. I notice that the Clinique Mineral Suncreen 30 spf body is a no-no. I was shocked. What about the Clinique mineral sunscreen fluid for face? I have been using it everyday since TTC thinking it was a safer option. Thanks so much.
If you mean this one, I would avoid it due to the Salicylate.
Thank you!!! I will have to consult your list of “safe” sunscreens. I just assumed it would be okay because it was a mineral sunscreen.
This is my new favorite blog!!!
It honestly drives me crazy when a mineral sunscreen isn’t safe. So close!!
There are a bunch of sunscreens in the brand list now too. 🙂
hello! thank you so much for this site. i was able to checked those products that its safe to used for pregnancy. i have a question regarding the CLINIQUE DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT MOISTURIZING LOTION + , its mention there that there is an ingredients of PETROLATUM and even PROPYLNEN GLYCOL, are those ingredients above still safe for pregnant? Please reply. Thank you so much
Yes, they’re considered fine.
Some of the Clinique creams listed as safe contain Sigesbeckia Orientalis (St. Paul’S Wort) Extract. I looked it up and found conflicting information. In this case I wouldn’t be ingesting it, but still. Why are you not concerned about it? Thanks!
I actually specifically asked several OBs about it and none of them were concerned. They will have their patients take it orally sometimes (obviously under a physician’s direction) while pregnant and the exposure topically is much smaller than taking it by mouth.

#1 has salicylic acid, #2 has glycolic acid. Both are fine for nursing, but not for pregnancy
Hi! May I know if a product is pregnancy safe, does it mean tt it is breastfeeding safe?
I’m looking at the Clinique 72 Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator. Is it breastfeeding safe?
Pregnancy is much stricter than nursing. If it is pregnancy safe then it is nursing safe.

Thankyou very much
Hi, I’ve read in different places that glycolic acid is safe to use during pregnancy. Is it not? Lol I’m asking because I use the pixie glow toner and the same clinique cartridge mentioned above.
Glycolic is not considered safe by many physicians because it is highly absorbed. I recommend avoiding it, and my OB also told me to avoid it.
Hello Doctor!
I wanted to ask about some Rodan and Fields products. Is it safe to use

Thank you!!!
The first 2 are fine, but the scrub has licorice root so I would avoid while pregnant
Thank you so much!
To the reviewer,
Sorry, we don’t know your name, and judging by what you have said about rude comments, we can understand why you haven’t posted that information 🙂
Anyway, when my wife asked me to Google the list of ingredients for her makeup, I have to say that my jaw nearly hit the floor as I knew how immensely time consuming this job would have been. However, after a search, I found your website and reviews.
Congratulations on a cracking job!
Too many people take from the internet and give nothing back and we have all become far too reliant on other people doing the work for us, so you should be proud of having put this vast list together just to help people.
We are very grateful, especially me, as it has saved me enormous amounts of work and frustration, so many, many thanks 🙂
Keep up the great work!

I haven’t had a chance to add all of the makeup to the Clinique list yet. This concealer I would avoid during pregnancy due to the Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate, which is a licorice root ingredient. It’s ok while nursing though. There’s a full list in the pregnancy safe concealer post, hope that helps!.
Hi. You mention in the above comment to avoid the Line Smoothing Concealer during pregnancy due to the Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate however it is listed in the main list above as safe for pregnancy and nursing?
Note, most of the comments are from outside of the US, and some (such as this comment from 2019) are outdated versions of products. I put the date of the latest review of a brand in the actual post, which in this case is 8/28/2021.
Amazing, thank you. I’ve had to cut so much of my skincare and make-up routine so it’s nice to find something that I can still use 🙂
Hi,
I am currently wary of the repair wear laser focus wrinkle cream…I don’t see any retinoids listed in the ingredients but when I googled it, it said it has retinyl palmalate which contains retinol. I really hope not because I’ve been using it since I found out I was pregnant. Could you help me with this? I don’t see it anywhere in the ingredients.
Thank you
I don’t see it in any of the Repair Wear creams (note there are 3 possible products, you didn’t specify which so I checked all of them), at least not on the Clinique site. I would trust Clinique’s website over other sites for an accurate list. The best is definitely the list that comes with the product, though that it typically an insert in the box and you likely don’t have that any more.
I address use of products with a “bad” ingredient in my pregnancy skincare FAQ, but note the ingredients of the product likely vary by country, I’ve screened US products, and that’s what’s on the Clinique website. I wonder if the list you saw refers to an international version of the product?
If you’re worried about it, I would change to a different product, but I don’t think retinoids are in the US versions. I hope that helps!

Is the one in Willow Bark that you need to worry about. Birch has some, but no where near the amount of Willow. We usually consider the ingredients in most extracts and oils to “not count”, but Neem, Licorice Root and Willow are the exceptions. There’s more discussion in my post on ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.
Ah, that makes sense! Thank you for the clarification.

This looks fine! Where did you find the ingredient list? It isn’t on their website, that’s why I didn’t include it in the post.
I found it on Sephora and Beautypedia. I compared the two and both had listed the same ingredients for it.
Thanks!! I haven’t gotten to Sephora yet for the Clinique list, the brand is so huge I’ve just now finished their website. It’s overwhelming me LOL
Hi there, I’m a little confused over the Liquid Facial Soap – does it mean the formula is different when it comes in a *tube* packaging, as opposed to the pump bottle? I see that the Liquid Facial Soap is listed as pregnancy safe but not “Liquid Facial Soap Tube”. Thanks!
Nope, the product should be the same. Pick whichever packaging you prefer. I usually have 1 of each of my favorites if possible, pump for home and tube for travel and on call in the hospital.
I am also confused by this. The liquid facial soap tube is listed under not safe due to licorice root. But the other liquid facial soaps are safe…I’m curious what Ingredient on the list is licorice root. Because when comparing lists they look similar. Thank you for your help.
Oh, I see now! So, when I last looked for some reason one had licorice root in it, the other didn’t. Looking at both now, they BOTH have licorice root (Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate in this case). I’ve moved the regular liquid facial soap down to ok only for nursing. Unfortunately, I’m at the mercy of online ingredient lists. Sorry about that!
Hi !! I’m a little confused over the Liquid Facial Soap – there are different kinds of Liquid Facial Soap (Very dry to dry; Dry combination, Oily and combination oily). are all of them safe? Thanks!
All of them 🙂 At least they were when I reviewed

Can u please suggest any good face wash for sensitive,oily skin ,before i was using anti blemish cleansing gel because I have acne, but now m pregnant so I want to change it .plz recommend,thanks
I would use something gentle and then go crazy with mud masks, that’s what I did! The cleanser and mask in this post would be good options.
Are organic products like face creams with essential oils bad during pregnancy
It’s very dependent on the specific product and what ingredients they have included. Essential oils aren’t all bad, there’s discussion in my post on ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.
Which one would you recommend?
Either the Queen Helene Mink Julep mask or the Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Mask. I’m actually currently working on a big listing post for masks that are pregnancy safe that target the pores (likely going up this weekend), but those are the 2 I usually recommend. The Mint Julep is a bit “stronger” in terms of the mud, my skin can’t handle it frequently.
Good day, please check also Clinique’s Even Better Make Up SPF 15/PA ++ evens and corrects. I think they are using titanium dioxide as sunscreen. Thanks in advance!
That product is already in the list above. They have a chemical sunscreen listed in the regular ingredients (it’s there as a UV stabilizer rather than as a sunscreen), so ok for nursing but not pregnancy.
Hi! Which ingredient is the chemical sunscreen? Based on what I saw they only used titanium dioxide which is physical sunscreen.
It’s ethylhexyl salicylate. Because they aren’t using it for the SPF they didn’t list it under active ingredients, they’re being tricky
Hello! Your website is such a great tool! Thank you for taking the time to review these things. I was interested to know if you have reviewed Yves Rocher products. I have several different products from them and only recently began to even consider that certain products shouldn’t be used during pregnancy. Thank you again for the products that you have done. If you are looking for another brand line, this could be an interesting one for you as it is extremely common in Europe where I live.
I’ve started going through the line but haven’t made it very far, it’s on my list to go back to.
Oh, I look forward to reading the post for the line, then!
I have found the ingredients for a couple of the products I own. The first one had a symbol that made me wonder about it which lead to me finding your blog.

#2 has salicylic acid, ok for nursing but not pregnancy
#1 and #3 are both pregnancy safe
I’d like to start with a thank you for your time and work on this site!
I noticed that men’s products aren’t covered but some ladies do enjoy using products marketed for men. For example, the Clinique for Men Face Scrub (ingredient list: Water\Aqua\Eau , Glyceryl Stearate , Silica , Hexylene Glycol , Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate , Disodium Oleamido Mipa-Sulfosuccinate , Magnesium Aluminum Silicate , Salicylic Acid , Stearamidoethyl Diethylamine , Butylene Glycol , Menthol , Trisodium Sulfosuccinate , Sodium Sulfate , Oleamide Mipa , Caramel , Methylisothiazolinone , Phenoxyethanol).
I do see it has salicylic acid and would like to ask if this would be harmful even if I washed with it only once or twice a week? Is it okay to use products with salicylic acid, licorice root, etc. in the weeks leading up to conceiving?
Thank you!
This product is ok for nursing but not pregnancy.
Please refer to my pregnancy beauty FAQ for your other questions as I’ve addressed them there. 🙂
I have been using Clinique spf 50 mineral sunscreen for the last 13 weeks as it was a mineral sunscreen I assumed it was ok but now I see it contains Butyloctyl Salicylate under inactive ingredients (so not apparently obvious) and I’m now extremely worried I’ve done harm. How much evidence is there behind the toxicity of salicylate?
These discussions will help:
• You’ve been using a product with a “bad” ingredient
• skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Thank you for all of your research as it is super helpful. I would like to ask about the Superbalanced Makeup as I didn’t see it on the concealer article or listed on here. Here are the ingredients:

Good morning! This maybe a silly question but I would like to confirm. If an item is listed as safe during pregnancy, is that also safe for breastfeeding? Thank you
Yes!
Hello,

I think they’ve been changing them recently, I’ll have to go back and look. This has licorice root, it’s nursing safe but I would avoid during pregnancy.
Thanks for your answer. Just to confirm, is the Universal Face primer still safe for pregnancy?

Hi Dr.
I’m a bit confused regarding the Liquid Facial Soap.
Below are the ingredients I see on Clinique’s website for the Liquid Facial Soap (mild version) and I don’t see the licorice root you mention on your list.
Would you mind taking another peak:
Water\Aqua\Eau , Sodium Laureth Sulfate , Sodium Chloride , Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine , Lauramidopropyl Betaine , Sodium Cocoyl Sarcosinate , Tea-Cocoyl Glutamate , Di-Ppg-2 Myreth-10 Adipate , Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice , Peg-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate , Sucrose , Sodium Hyaluronate , Cetyl Triethylmonium Dimethicone Peg-8 Succinate , Butylene Glycol , Hexylene Glycol , Polyquaternium-7 , Laureth-2 , Caprylyl Glycol , Sodium Sulfate , Tocopheryl Acetate , Edta , Disodium Edta , Phenoxyethanol
Thanks so much!
There seem to be multiple version of this product, some links on their site have licorice root and others don’t. I would check your container.
Thank you so much for your work. I have all my answers to which products to use.😊😊😊

This has salicylic acid and licorice root, so I would avoid it while pregnant but ok for nursing. Waving at you from Ann Arbor!
Hi there, first of all – love this site, helps a lot! However – I currently have both Foaming Sonic Facial Soap and Liquid Facial Soap and I don’t see licorice root in any of them. Is there another name for it or maybe they just changed the ingredients..?
This is Sonic Soap: Water\Aqua\Eau, Myristic Acid, Glycerin, Behenic Acid, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Potassium Hydroxide, Palmitic Acid, Lauric Acid, Stearic Acid, Caffeine, Butylene Glycol, Sucrose, Sodium Pca, Sodium Hyaluronate, Trehalose, Peg-3 Distearate, Urea, Polyquaternium-51, Trisodium Edta, Disodium Edta, Phenoxyethanol <ILN41295
And Liquid Soap:
Water\Aqua\Eau, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauramidopropyl Betaine, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Cocoyl Sarcosinate, Tea-Cocoyl Glutamate, Butylene Glycol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Peg-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, Sucrose, Hexylene Glycol, Polyquaternium-7, Laureth-2, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Sulfate, Edta, Disodium Edta, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Phenoxyethanol
Is there licorice root under another name, or any other ingredient that’s iffy?
Thanks a bunch!
There’s an issue with Clinique and associated brands, in particular they have different ingredients for the same products across different countries and they slightly modify the names and then they even overlap names with different products! It’s really annoying.
I’ve reviewed the US versions of products. There are chemical names for licorice root, but I don’t see them in either of these products. Both look ok for nursing and pregnancy to me!

I’m sorry if this is a dumb question, but I want to be extra safe when it comes to my baby. When you mention it’s safe for pregnancy, example Moisture Surge 72 hour, does that also mean it’s safe for breastfeeding? Thank you so much!
Yes, pregnancy is the most restrictive time, so anything ok for pregnancy is also ok for nursing.
Thank you so much!!
Hi, thank you so much for your diligent research. Your site has been helping me so much! I have a question about the ingredient “Phenoxyethanol” which has said to not be pregnancy safe but is found in a lot of the Clinique products. I started using a sample of All About Eyes after reading this post but was shocked to find out that ingredient is in it. Do you think that ingredient is safe during pregnancy? Thank you
Yes, I think it’s fine.

It looks like the Clinique even better makeup and repairwear lotion with SPF use zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide which are not chemical sunscreen but a mineral sunscreen. Which ingredient is the chemicals sunscreen in these products? Thanks!
There are a couple of options for the products you mentioned, I’ve put the names below. While they do have zinc or titanium in them they also have chemical sunscreens, for the first Even Better and the Repairwear they are listed next to the Zinc/Titanium under active ingredients, the 2nd even better doesn’t have those listed at all under active ingredients so it is just listed with the regular ingredients.
• Even Better Glow™ Light Reflecting Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15: Chemical Sunscreen (Octinoxate 6.0%), Salicylic Acid
• Even Better™ Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15: Chemical Sunscreen (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate)
• Repairwear Laser Focus™ Line Smoothing Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 15: Chemical Sunscreen (Octinoxate 7.5% )

Hi!
You put Clinique Clarifying Lotion #2 as pregnancy safe, but I just read the ingredients of mine and it has salicylic acid. Is it safe because it has a low percentage of it or did you perhaps miss that?

Yes, I try to update the brand lists every 18-24 months at the most if I can, but this can be hard with my job and family. I update and add new products continually, but within the post you’ll see a date of the last full brand review. When I do a full review I delete the entire list and start fresh (so previous ingredients won’t bias me) and I review everything I can find on a brand’s US website. I also frequently go to popular reliable retailers and review any additional products I find there that might not appear on the brand list. I most recently reviewed all of Clinique at the end of May 2020, but lots of things have been added since then or things have shifted around as I’ve learned of any reformulations (which Clinique pretty much doesn’t seem to do, FYI. They do sometimes hide “active” ingredients by only listing them on the front of packaging and then not in the full list, that happens with sunscreens and salicylic acid for them.)
Hi, Thank you for creating this Website, this is very helpful! 🙂

Just wondering about Clinique serum foundation, I didn’t even think about salicylic acid? I would only being using a couple of times a week so just wondering if this foundation is safe to use.
I would not use it with salicylic acid. It is both a hydroxy acid and salicylate, which is why I screen for it. Info here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

Hi
Thank you for this helpful blog. I have been using Clinique for over 20 years. I am taking a fertility treatment and my doctor says that fragrance is an endocrine disruptor.
Are all Clinique products free fragrance?
I am using Soap mild, clarifying 2, Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly purple, all about eyes, Superdefense City Block Broad Spectrum SPF 50. Are these products ok as part of my fertility treatment?
Also, which makeup can you recommend?
Thank you so much!
I don’t screen out fragrances as they’re considered fine to use in pregnancy, and I’ve never heard of an REI specialist saying to avoid them. You’ll need to look at each of your products individually.

Hi, is the Clinique Moisture Surge™ Hydro-Infused Lotion safe for pregnancy? Thank you
Aloe Bioferment + HA Complex: This hydrating complex works in two ways—hyaluronic acid helps attract moisture, while aloe bioferment helps retain it. Take a deeper dive into each:
Hyaluronic acid: This moisture-binding ingredient helps create a “moisture reservoir” for ideal hydration
Aloe bioferment: Made with lactobacillus, activated aloe water, and responsibly sourced and certified organic aloe extract powder, this exclusive nutrient-rich ingredient helps skin retain moisture. One of the benefits of the fermentation process is that it breaks large molecules into smaller sizes, so they are better absorbed into skin.
Acetyl glucosamine: Helps smooth skin’s texture.
This isn’t a full ingredient list, just a description of key ingredients. As mentioned in the post, I need a full ingredient list to review your product as I’ve reviewed all of the ones I have access to.
