Comments about Clinique City Block Sheer Broad Spectrum SPF 25:
I recently had to start wearing sunscreen every day because of skin cancer scares. I wear light makeup so I went into Ulta and they recommended this tinted sunscreen for under my makeup. It gives me a little color without making me look gross and I can wear it under my makeup without feeling a nasty build up on my face.

Best Uses
Comments about Clinique City Block Sheer Broad Spectrum SPF 25:
There's a slight tint to this, and nothing but extremely sheer coverage. I bought it after a Clinque rep recommended it as a primer for my perpetually shiny T-zone. It didn't do a thing to prevent shine.

Comments about Clinique City Block Sheer Broad Spectrum SPF 25:
Pros :
All Mineral Sunblock.
Did not irritate my skin or cause breakouts
Nice tint with quick dry down
No fragrance
Cons :
Wish the SPF was a 30.
I will purchase again. I have dry skin plus using retinol so my skin gets dry. This would definitely be moisturizing for normal skin. I do need to put a moisturizer on under this as the zinc oxide pulls out all my moisture on top of using a retinol. Also if you do have dry skin it will cling to dry patches. I use this daily for everyday for work inside and commute. Outside I would need to add a higher SPF. I prefer all mineral city block 25 versus the city block 40 chemical/mineral blend as the all mineral coats the skin and blocks the skin as soon as applied versus being absorbed.
Pros
- UVA/UVB Protection
Cons
- Greasy or Heavy
Best Uses
Comments about Clinique City Block Sheer Broad Spectrum SPF 25:
First, I LOVE clinique. I gave this product a test drive for about 2 weeks. I applied it under my Foundation, I found it to be too thick for my skin, and I was only within a couple hours after sitting all my makeup. I ended up returning this lotion and purchasing the even better skin tone correcting lotion SPF 20. I have very oily skin and I'm in my late thirties.

Q:
When does a tube expire? I use it for sun protection and I've had a tube for a year...is it no longer good? I had read that spf degrades over time. I wore it outside the other day and I felt I got a sunburn, so wondering if it has expired. I could find no markings on the tube.Asked on 5/9/2017 by Cindy from chicago1 answer
A:
Hi. We suggest updating your sunscreen 6 months after opened, as it can degrade over time. Thank you for your question.Answered on 5/18/2017 by Brand Expert from Clinique
Q:
Would I apply this over or under my moisturizer? Do you have a moisturizer you recommend to use with it?Asked on 3/9/2017 by Annbt from Cleveland1 answer
A:
Hi! This is a very lightweight sunscreen that feels nice on skin under makeup. You would apply a moisturizer under it. If you have dry skin, you may want to try Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion Plus. If you have Oily Skin, you may want to try Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel.
If you are in need of an entire 3 step skin care system, you should try the entire Clinique 3 step skin care system! Thank you for your question and have a great day!Answered on 3/17/2017 by Brand Expert from Clinique
