What Clinique Turnaround Overnight Moisturizer is made of, ingredients and materials
Clinique Turnaround is a water-based moisturizer relying on glycerin and humectants to draw moisture into skin, plus emollients to seal it. The absence of volatile organic compounds or solvents typical of serums or toners lowers inhalation risk. No powder mineral pigments, talc, or colorant additives are documented in this formulation, which reduces heavy metal and mica contamination pathways common in tinted products.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Fragrance allergens
Clinique products typically contain fragrance compounds not individually itemized on labels. Consumers with fragrance sensitivity or atopic skin should patch-test or request a full fragrance breakdown from the manufacturer.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
No publicly disclosed formaldehyde or formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (DMDM hydantoin, diazolidinyl urea) are documented in this moisturizer. Standard Clinique formulations favor non-formaldehyde preservative systems, but full preservative identity is not always disclosed.
Source, ATSDR ↗1,4-dioxane (solvent contaminant)
Water-based moisturizers with no sulfate surfactants carry low risk of 1,4-dioxane as a manufacturing byproduct. This product's simple humectant profile does not typically trigger the ether-based ethoxylation chemistry that introduces dioxane.
Heavy metals
Clinique Turnaround is an uncolored or translucent moisturizer without added iron oxides, titanium dioxide, or synthetic pigments. No lead, cadmium, or arsenic pathways are evident in the documented formulation.
Source, FDA ↗Talc contamination
Talc is not a documented component of this liquid or cream moisturizer. Powder formulations carry talc risk; leave-on emulsions do not unless explicitly listed.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Clinique (Estée Lauder-owned) publishes ingredient lists but does not voluntarily disclose fragrance allergen profiles or formaldehyde-releaser screening. The brand has no recorded recalls or regulatory warnings specific to this product line. Estée Lauder has faced scrutiny over PFAS use in other product categories but maintains no public stance on this moisturizer's PFAS exposure.
How it compares in its category
Overnight moisturizers in this price tier typically contain similar humectant and emollient blends; Clinique's formulation is standard for dermatology-adjacent brands. Leave-on products carry lower contamination risk than rinse-off creams or masks because they are not re-applied daily and do not accumulate on skin over short periods. This product sits in the middle-safety range for prestige moisturizers, with no documented advantages over fragrance-free or hypoallergenic alternatives.
If you buy it
Store at room temperature away from direct heat or sunlight, as glycerin-rich formulas can separate if exposed to temperature swings. Discontinue use if redness, itching, or burning occurs, particularly if you have sensitive skin or are using actives like retinol or acids concurrently. Do not ingest; keep out of children's reach. Replace if the product changes odor, color, or consistency, as these indicate bacterial or chemical breakdown.
