A rich, peptide- and botanical-infused hydration cream that delivers an instant glowing finish.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream is a well-formulated, rich moisturizer that delivers good hydration and skin-smoothing aesthetic results under makeup. However, users seeking fragrance-free formulations or strictly clean/eco-conscious options may prefer alternatives without cyclic silicones and complex fragrance allergens.
Be cautious if
May be a concern for highly sensitive or eczema-prone users due to added fragrance and multiple natural fragrance allergens.
Against your clean standard
Conditional — Safe at permitted concentrations for non-sensitive users, but falls short of strict clean standards due to undisclosed parfum, multiple fragrance allergens, and cyclic silicones (D5).

Does Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Moisturiser contain parabens, sulfates or fragrance?
A straight yes or no for the ingredient groups people most often want to avoid, checked against this product's published formulation.
Free from parabens
Preservatives; the longer-chain ones (propyl, butyl) carry the endocrine questions.
Free from sulfates (sls / sles)
Strong cleansing agents that can strip a compromised barrier.
Contains silicones
Found: cyclopentasiloxane (d5). Slip and occlusion; cyclic silicones (D4/D5/D6) are the environmentally restricted ones.
Contains fragrance / parfum
Found: parfum (fragrance). Undisclosed fragrance blends are the most common trigger for sensitised skin.
Contains essential oils
Found: linalool / limonene / geraniol / citronellol. Naturally derived, but among the most frequently reported contact allergens.
Free from drying alcohol
Fine in small amounts for texture; high up the list it can dehydrate.
Free from formaldehyde releasers
Preservatives that slowly release formaldehyde.
Free from chemical uv filters of concern
Restricted or debated filters with endocrine or reef-persistence questions.
Is Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Moisturiser non-comedogenic?
No ingredients in this formulation appear on Selenssa's common pore-clogger list, so it is unlikely to be the cause of congestion for most people. Comedogenicity is still individual — texture, occlusion and how much you use all play a part.
Is Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Moisturiser safe for sensitive skin?
Usually tolerated, but patch test if your skin reacts easily.
- Contains fragrance or parfum
- Contains essential oils or common fragrance allergens
