Key Ingredients

  • UP302: Researchers screened over two thousand plant extracts and found dianella ensifolia to have powerful properties. UP302, Clinique’s proprietary brightening molecule, was bioengineered to mimic the botanical and found to have powerful antioxidant and brightening benefits.
  • Vitamin C: This serum is made with two types of vitamin C - magnesium ascorbyl phosphate and ascorbyl glucoside - for precisely calibrated formulation. Together these potent brightening antioxidants help visibly reduce dark spots, including post-acne marks, and help skin tone look more even.
  • Niacinamide: Helps visibly reduce discoloration such as dark spots and post-acne marks.
  • Salicylic acid: Gently sloughs off the uppermost layers of the skin to help reveal fresher, more even-looking skin.
  • Glucosamine: Helps weaken the bonds that hold dead skin cells together to encourage the exfoliation of surface discoloration for brighter, more even-looking skin.
  • Glycyrrhetinic acid, derived from licorice extract: A potent anti-irritant, it helps calm skin by visibly reducing skin irritation that could trigger dark spots.
  • Gyokuro: This green tea is hand-harvested in Japan in such a way that its natural anti-irritant properties are optimized for full potential. Helps quell the look of irritation that could lead to discoloration.
  • Formulated without: Fragrance, Parabens, Phthalates, Oil, Drying alcohol, Sodium lauryl sulfate, Sodium laureth sulfate, Synthetic colors

Good results but Not for Sensitive Skin

I really like the opaque packaging, which is both aesthetically pleasing and practical. The dispenser keeps the product free from contamination and allows for precise application. The texture is dense, yet it absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky or greasy feeling. It's easy to apply, though...

The product packaging is sleek and well designed but I did not notice any difference. I did try this on a keloid scar for fun and it actually made them worse. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Lightens Acne Scarring

This serum goes on smoothly and immediately absorbs into your skin. I didn't detect any fragrance at all. The pump makes the product easy to dispense in small amounts which is all you need as a little goes a long way. I have some acne scarring and it did lighten it a little. I will keep using to see if the scars get lighter over time.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I am thrilled with the effectiveness of this product to lighten dark areas on my face. Not only is it surprisingly potent, but it also comes housed in an aesthetically pleasing iridescent glass bottle, intensifying its luxurious feel. The texture is another highlight, being incredibly smooth and feather-light on the skin. Its lack of substantial fragrance further refines the user experience, especially for those sensitive to strong scents. One thing I particularly value is that this product is dermatologist-developed. This reassures me that the ingredients used are safe for my skin. I can not recommend it enough for its superior quality and effective results. It's truly a standout product in the skincare market!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I love the packaging. Very sleek. It's easy to use. The spot I put it on wasn't the right kind maybe. I didn't see any change. I ended up getting the spot removed by my dermatologist. Not sure if other spots have changed much with use.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
