My every day tinted sunscreen
I'm in a humid area so I stopped wearing foundation every day. Now I just use this. I love that it's mineral-based (the higher SPF one is NOT, by the way!) because that means it works to defend from the sun more quickly and you can just throw it on while running out the door (it's also more environm...

Too greasy!Causes redness!
I used to love this product, but either the formula or my skin has changed since then. Either way, this too greasy for my combination oily skin type. It slides around under makeup, and I burn in the sun even if I apply it liberally. Oddly enough for Clinique, there's something in it that causes redn...

Great product
Lightweight and not greasy, also evens out some of my natural redness
My favorite and only foundation
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.
Great primer under Clinique foundation!
Bought this to use under my Clinique foundation and I love it! Works great as a primer . Blends into skin beautifully. Tinted but not dark it disappears once you apply it to your skin.Not heavy or shiny, no white cast. I Tried many primers from all different brands and this one is by far my favorite!
I always have a backup
There is nothing like this. I have used this for many years and its perfect for many uses. It has a slight tint and provides a tiny bit of coverage so on no makeup days, I can still look somewhat put together. The coverage is enough that it lightens up dark circles, blemishes and redness. I have actually used this as a concealer over a higher SPF when I am outside running or hiking. On work days, this is the perfect primer under foundations and skin tints. It gets along with all my other skincare, sunscreen and cosmetic products. I love this so much, I always make sure I have a backup.
I CANT BELIEVE ITS BACK
Yall im 21 and have been using this product for two years. It give such an effortless even tint to the face and feels so light weight. I was HEARTBROKEN when this was discontinued, and was only using my last bottle for special occasions:,) im so happy its back. I really gope it stays in stock becuase there is truly no product like it. I spent way to much money trying to find something similar, but nothing compared.
