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...

I finally tried this classic Clinique product after reading the many reviews from loyal users who absolutely love it, and so glad I did. This 100% mineral product (no chemical filters) far exceeded my expectations, and I have been using Clinique since I was a teenager. The texture of this sunblock is creamy and pleasant, spreads easily, and somehow offers light coverage even though there is only a slight tint. It contains a list of wonderful, nourishing ingredients making it more of a BB cream than just a tinted sunscreen. A little translucent powder on top and my skin is prepped and protected for an easy no-makeup makeup day. It also lasts all day just like a good BB cream should. I will say the SPF is pretty low at 25, so I use a separate SPF 50 moisturizer underneath, making the City Block my "makeup/BB" rather than a stand-alone sunscreen. It looks lovely and natural, neither matte nor greasy. It also works perfectly under makeup, on days when I want more coverage. I bought it on sale online and quickly turned around and ordered 2 more to get stocked up on it. I absolutely love it and at age 51, so happy to be able to find makeup/BB creams that work beautifully with aging complexions. I join the legions of women across the world who hope this product stays in the Clinique spf product line!
Great product
Lightweight and not greasy, also evens out some of my natural redness
Fabulous!

This is a wonderful product. Very sheer, not greasy and doesn't clog my pores. I am 55 and still have occasional issues with acne. This is the first sunscreen I have ever used on my face that doesn't feel like a heavy mask. I think the price is worth it. I very much recommend!
Always return to this

Through the years, I've tried several tinted moisturizers with SPF. I always return to this one for the light coverage, kindness to my skin (no irritation), no odor, and price. It goes on smoothly, doesn't dry my skin, and never appears cakey. It doesn't crease into my fine lines. I apply it after the 3-step routine. I appreciate how it blends into my skin and does not look like I'm wearing any makeup. I don't use foundation and prefer a natural look. This does exactly what I want it to do.
Love this!
