Brief Answer:
no merely applying the substances cannot cause fail or violation

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing back to us.

Androgel (testosterone gel) XXXXXXX Code (Denature Alcohol) & Clinique moisturizing gel (with butylene glycol) application merely on body cannot absorbed into lung and come out in breath. So it is not possible that when you blow in to ignition interlock breathalyzer any of them can enter inside and cause 'Fail' or 'Violation' in results.

However if you have sprayed XXXXXXX code in car and some of the amount directly sprayed on breathalyzer and you blew into thereafter its alcohol contain may go inside and cause 'Fail' or 'Violation' in results.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
