Understand the Product

A lot of these reviews are complaining about the tint, and saying this product doesn't absorb into the skin, but "sits on top of it." First, that's exactly what it's supposed to do. The reason this product is called City "Block" is that it is a true sunblock, a physical barrier between your skin and...

Not my fave

City Block Sheer is just not one of my favorite products. And I have LOVED Clinique since high school. I wanted to like it since it is oil-free, but it flakes if you rub it in too much. I guess it's supposed to rest on surface of skin, but with make-up and then powder on top, especially with moistur...

The only face sunscreen I can use

Submitted 2 days ago

My skin and eyes are VERY sensitive. I started using this as a moisturizer and under my foundation in my teens. It is a great primer and some days I only needed this and some powder. I have tried so many different facial sunscreens and usually end up with itchy and red eyes and skin. I'm in my late 40s now and stopped using it when I started using BB and CC creams. I don't like Cliniques BB cream and I don't want the full effect of the CC cream every day. I purchased this recently for days when I just need some sunscreen protection but not makeup. It is the same stuff that I've always loved! I had the spf 40 or 50 versions for a while but when they changed the formula, I had to stop. Those are too thick, oily, and caused irritation. I decided to go back to 25 for just every day use.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

The best sunscreen for oily skin

If you have oily skin, this sunscreen is perfect. My skin stays shine-free all day, even though I live in a humid and sunny climate. But the best bonus of this product is that it works as a primer for makeup, giving you a 2-in-1 solution for everyday use.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Been using this for years, moisturizing as well as sun protection. Nice tint. I wish Clinique would bring back Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum, it also had an SPF 15. Worked great with the City Block.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Love this product. It's lighter than foundation, smooth, non-greasy, doesn't cause breakouts, protects from typical daily sun exposure. I wear it every day under a bit of transparent loose powder and get lots of compliments.
