I'm super obsessed and so happy this was made
I have already gone through like 3 bottles of this. So maybe the only negative is I wish there was more product in the bottle. But this is the product of my dreams that I have been looking for. I love clinique serum foundation, I've used it for years, but after getting sun damage for the first time ...

Love the Skincare Benefits!
I received this product free of charge in exchange for my unbiased review. I absolutely love that this is a vitamin-rich foundation with SPF 45! I was so excited to try it because it sounded like it would be so nourishing for my skin. I really like that the coverage is buildable and the way it feel...

Not sure!
The color match was perfect. It was more of a dewy finish than I liked (only because I have very oily skin). It looked beautiful. However, when I started adding products on top (blush, bronzer) it left it very splotchy and did not look good at all.
Looks like my skin
I purchased color Deep Warm 4. I love it. It does not oxidize and leave me looking orange.
Awful Experience
Within seconds of putting it on my eyes began watering and swelled.
No Glow Bad Color Too High SPF

I have tried 3 shades of this and they all appear dull. Please bring back the "Even Better Refresh" foundation that provided a wonderful awake finish for which I received many compliments. Clinique products I have tried with high SPF, more than 15, are like a thick sunscreen. The SPF seems to be more powerful than anything else in the product. If I want a high SPF that smells like I'm at the beach, I'll buy a sunscreen. PLEASE Clinique, stop changing formulations, shades and discontinuing products. You are forcing me, a long time Clinique user to go to other skincare/makeup brands. Your products are getting worse, not better!!!!!
Sets My Skin on Fire

I had high hopes for this new foundation due to its SPF 45 rating. I was cautious, so first tried it on the inside of my wrists ... no problem. I then applied it to my face. I was disappointed in the coverage compared to my old standby, Even Better Foundation, but the color was perfect. Sadly by the end of the day, the skin on my face was on fire, red blotches everywhere. My only guess is that whatever chemical sunscreens are in the product do not agree with older, rosacea-affected skin. Took 2 days of anti-inflammatory creams to calm my facial skin.
