Why are you discontinuing this? It is amazing for mature skin. I do not like the sheen that a higher SPF does to my skin. I am sooo sad about this. Can you recommend something very similar to this product? Thank you!

I currently use Clinique Even Better Refresh in the shade Fair. I am not able to use the new Clinique Even Better Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 because I am allergic to chemical SPF (Octinoxate) in the ingredients. What do you suggest as an alternative foundation without SPF and what shade?

Love this foundation!
I am so happy that I found this make up. I've searched endlessly for a foundation that 's lightweight but buildable and that doesn't settle into lines. This foundation is a must have for mature skin. A huge plus is that it doesn't have SPF as my skin reacts to cosmetic products with SPF. It's extre...

Good coverage, but doesn't stay put
I've been using this as my foundation for about six months (through winter, into spring) along with the Clinique setting powder - I got both in a sale on Ulta. I apply it with a beauty-blender type sponge and it has good coverage. I also think the variety of color options are good. I am very fair sk...

I've never tried this foundation, and I LOVE it! It blends so well and looks so natural, while giving full coverage. It feels so lovely too -- "refreshing," as its name states. Please do not discontinue this one!
Best foundation!

Bring back BB cream

I bought this product when I found that BB Cream was no longer available and I am very unhappy with the purchase. First, this product does hot have SPF protection. A must here in Southern California. Next, the packaging. This product is in a tube not too different from BB Cream but the consistency of the product is much more liquid. It should be in an bottle not a tube. Last, and most importantly, it just does not look good on my skin. The finish is almost powdery and I prefer a more natural finish. I've been using Clinique products for close to 30 years and this is at least the third time Clinique has discontinued a favorite product of mine. I am tired of having to find new products every few years.
Love the coverage

I'm 72, I've used Clinique since my late 20's, I've strayed briefly because of shade or formula changes, but always return! I love the even better refresh for the flawless finish! My only complaint is they discontinued my shade Breeze in this formula, Custard to light, Flax a bit yellow on me 😏 I sure hope they bring back Breeze in this formula, please!
