Skin Types:

All Skin Types

What It Does:

Clinique's "damage eraser" with patented CL302 Equalizer Technology is now more concentrated, with boosted technology to deliver dramatic brightening results - yet is still gentle enough for all skin types.
Now with double the dose, this formula features our proprietary brightening molecule for a more even skin tone plus improves the look of dark spots, age spots, and acne scars.
Interrupts future dark spots, too.

Key Ingredients/Technology:

CL302 Equalizer Technology targets dark spots in two ways: corrects with the CL302 Complex and interrupts future ones with the Interrupter Complex.

CL302 Complex: with 2X the brightening dose helps visibly reduce dark spots and discoloration. It includes the following:

UP302 (dimethoxytolyl propylresorcinol): A targeted brightening molecule inspired by border silver, or dianella ensifolia, a botanical known in traditional Chinese medicine for its antioxidant properties.
Ascorbyl glucoside: Helps reduce the appearance of discoloration.
Glucosamine: Weakens the bonds that hold dead skin cells together to encourage the departure of cells containing melanin.
Yeast extract: Clinique's "cluster buster" breaks up (exfoliates) large clusters of pigment into smaller particles so they're less visible.
Salicylic acid: Gently sloughs off the uppermost layers of the skin to reveal fresher, more even tone skin.

Interrupter Complex: with a cocktail of soothing ingredients helps minimize irritation to interrupt future hyperpigmentation. It includes the following:

Gyokuro (camellia sinensis leaf) extract: A green tea harvested with a special method in Japan that helps quell irritation.
Mulberry root extract: Rich in antioxidants that help counter free-radical damage that causes irritation.
Rice bran extract: A potent anti-oxidant and anti-irritant, and helps to prevent future dark spots by defending skin against damaging free radicals.
Complex of olive squalene, barley extract, and wheat germ extract: Helps nourish and replenish skin with hydration.
Dipotassium glycyrrizate (licorice extract): Acts as an anti-irritant that reduces the negative visible effects of stress and pollution.

Clinique Clean Philosophy:

No phthalates
No fragrance
Just happy skin

body{margin-left:12%}Product ReviewsRated 4.16 out of 5 stars38 ReviewsMost Helpful Positive ReviewOn my third bottleI have adult onset acne that leaves horrible, deep, pitted scars. I never left the house without foundation, still felt super self conscious, and considered drastic and expensive methods (i.e. plastic surgery) to help my face. After consistent use of this product for 16 weeks, I don't feel nearly as self conscious. The scars have lightened and my face has smoothed. It's not a miracle cure, but I'd say I have seen 30-50% improvement. Enough that I can leave the house without foundation if I want and my foundation looks so much better. It also seems to help current acne spots heal faster and leave less of a scar.Most Helpful Critical ReviewMeh...I'd never had acne in my life until I entered my early twenties and was diagnosed with breast cancer at 23...which was the root cause of my acne. After using several rx topicals from my dermatologist, I eventually gave up trying to fade those stubborn post-acne marks. I purchased this based on its mostly rave-reviews. I used it daily for two months straight and saw no fading of the post-acne marks at all. The only positive for me was that it made my skin feel very soft and smooth. I'll stick to my AHA & BHA face masks for the time being.Reviewed by 38 customersLove the new formula!5Mariam from MichiganReally helps brighten and even out my overall complexion. Dark spots are lighter, I get fewer breakouts, less redness and patchiness. Works very well under makeup!I love this product.5Phylsun from Wichita, KSI use this product on my dark spot everyday to help lighten it.good product. would buy again.4Tensi from TXI use this product day and night to even out my skin tone. I feel that my skin tone has improved.I would not suggest this.2Tuna from Sherman, illinoisI bought this at the end of June. I have used it faithfully and exactly as it suggests on the directions. It has done absolutely nothing it claims. I am soooo.... glad they have 2 different sizes. I almost fell for it and just bought the larger size. I am however upset that I forked our what I did for the smaller size. I will NOT buy this again though. The only nice thing about it is that they made the container beautiful enough to catch the eye. :-(Works but not worth the price3Cat from MichiganThis product did help fade my acne scars the first couple weeks I was using it but it seemed to stop working after that. I'd rather use less expensive skin brightening treatments from The Ordinary that are just as effective rather than purchasing this again. One plus side is that I liked the texture of this product - it glides on and feels very cushiony.Faded age spot on hand3KT from NYCThis product lightened a brown age spot on my hand after consistent use for weeks. I apply it twice daily. No change in red/pink sun damage marks on my face.I love it!! It works.5TRex from Asheville, NCIt does what it says ... helps fade dark spotsLove this dark spot corrector!5Sunday from CAI've tried other dark spot correctors and you need to wait for a month or more to see any results. This one delivers quick visible fading. Would definitely recommend adding it to your skin care routine.On my third bottle5Laura from UtahI have adult onset acne that leaves horrible, deep, pitted scars. I never left the house without foundation, still felt super self conscious, and considered drastic and expensive methods (i.e. plastic surgery) to help my face. After consistent use of this product for 16 weeks, I don't feel nearly as self conscious. The scars have lightened and my face has smoothed. It's not a miracle cure, but I'd say I have seen 30-50% improvement. Enough that I can leave the house without foundation if I want and my foundation looks so much better. It also seems to help current acne spots heal faster and leave less of a scar.Eh2eliza from OregonI have been using this for months and have not seen a difference in my acne marks fading.Faded the most stubborn age spot5MaggiPoo from FLI have a nickle-sized sun-spot on my right cheek. It developed when I was in my 30s and I could never get anything to fade it. I tried rosehip seed oil, and the drug-store stuff, and the $100 an oz stuff, and that one spot would never fade, even when everything else did. I even ordered some Indian skin lightener from a sketchy website. I finally had it lasered off about 6 years ago, but it recently came back. Anyway, this Clinique has actually faded it considerably. It's nearly gone and it's only been one month of use. It looks more like a shadow than a blotch. I'm both surprised, and very pleased.Honestly helps correct sunspots5Lauren from MarylandI am highly suspicious of most products, but this was recommended to me by my sister. It honestly works in correcting sun spots. Mine are noticeably better. It does take a while, but hang in there and I'd take before/after pictures. I wish I had! I bought a small bottle to start, but purchased the larger bottle this time around. I would definitely give it a shot if you've had sun damage.Pleasant surprise5Ann from WisconsinI feel as though I need all of the products: my skin has some large pores, is dry at times and is oily at times, yes to brown spots and yes to some wrinkles and occasional acne. How am I supposed to choose? Well, I chose this product on a whim, and I'm glad I did. It's heavier than the usual serum, my skin immediately felt smooth and soft, and it even blurred some pores. I can still put lotion over it-depending on my skin's needs. I went back and purchased the spf lotion for the summer. To early to see spots fade, but it's already a great surprise.Did not help with dark spots and made me break out1Kate from CAI used this product twice a day for 3 months. I was hoping it would help correct dark spots above my lip, but I haven't seen a difference at all. The one difference I noticed is that my entire face is now breaking out. I was really hoping to like this one!I won't buy it again2Ro from Madison, WII used as directed for a solid 5 months and sadly didn't see any difference in the dark spots on my face. Disappointed that I wasted my money.Meh...3A.S. from CaliforniaI'd never had acne in my life until I entered my early twenties and was diagnosed with breast cancer at 23...which was the root cause of my acne. After using several rx topicals from my dermatologist, I eventually gave up trying to fade those stubborn post-acne marks. I purchased this based on its mostly rave-reviews. I used it daily for two months straight and saw no fading of the post-acne marks at all. The only positive for me was that it made my skin feel very soft and smooth. I'll stick to my AHA & BHA face masks for the time being.So far so good ! Just bought it it seems like it does work!4Lissette A from Long Island, NYI try to use it day and night ! I have seen a bit of results in 3 days !Not a face cream user here5Roxii03 from Kyle, TXI am not someone that has ever stuck with a face cream or lotion long. But I am loving this. It's not greasy or too watery and disappears into your skin and leaves it feeling so silky!Shook!5Usagi from Austin TexasIt's day 4 and I have notice a big difference with some of my acne scars and dark spots on my face I recommend it not only for what it does but long term this is a big part of my anti aging regiment from now on! And beautiful packaging too.I will always buy this product.5Ana from Detroit, MIAfter I've washed my face, applied toner, and applied my anti-redness calming serum I apply this to my acne scars. I use it once a day (in the morning). I've always loved this product.Great for Acne Scarring4bbdimich from chicagoI'm a long time acne sufferer who's managed to get a good understanding of how to maintain my skin, but as any of my fellow acne sufferers know, the scars are often harder to get rid of then the actual acne or breakouts. I have a decent amount of acne scarring left from old breakouts and bad habits of try to pop them (DON'T DO IT! LOL) and after finishing the smaller size of this product I can say that most if not all of my scarring is significantly reduced. It didn't get rid of each of them, but the few that weren't as bad are now gone and the darker ones are noticeably lighter. I think the product does what it claims—it doesn't say it'll make dark spots or acne spots vanish, it says you can expect a 39% difference after a few weeks and using it twice a day i can say i have for sure. I do think you can achieve similar results with other more affordable vitamin c and retinol products, but the green tea extract in this one is a nice ingredient if you also have redness like I do, so i enjoyed the product.Best dark spot corrector5mh1236 from Portland, ORWhenever I breakout I get left with these ugly dark spots on my face that take forever to go away. This serum gets rid of those spots within just a couple of weeks! I've purchased this a few times but since it's pretty expensive I've tried to find alternatives and just keep coming back to this. It works so much better than any other dark spot corrector I've tried. It's definitely worth the money!Things you need to know5Awesome product from Savannah GAFirst I'm really happy with the results. I've used this for about 3 weeks now. Dark spots are fading and many I didn't even notice are gone. Also so many blackheads I didn't even realize I had have now some to the service and are going away. This 3rd week I've noticed a huge improvement in my skin, overall pigmentation and smoothness. But things you should be warned about is this. This will put your skin through the same process as a series of reparative facials. These usually are a course of 4-8 weeks. Your skin will look worse before it looks better. So do not use this right before a big even i.e., your wedding. Stop use at least 2 weeks before a big event. Be careful using this in the summer. Stay out of the sun and wear lots of sunscreen. Be careful with retinol and/or vitamin C creams and exfoliants.Probably won't finish using2CBradley from San Bernardino, CAI'm not sure if this made me breakout but once I stopped applying my skin mellowed out. I didn't see too much of a difference, which sucks given the price and the fact that I like Clinique. I'll probably give it to someone with a different skin type to avoid waste. I went back to using Alba Even Advanced to fade my acne scars. That's something I'd recommend to the ladies who also have sensitive skin and scar over the smallest things.Yes5Blanca from New YorkI use this before my moisturizer!
