I bought this product awhile ago and threw out the original box, there is no expiration date on the bottle. Is there a PAO date for this product?
- Asked by Alli
- Official Answer By Clinique USThank you for checking. Some products include a Period After Opening (PAO) number (which shows a number followed by “M”) that indicates the number of months within which an opened product should be used or replaced. Once a product is opened and used, its integrity can be affected by such things as exposure to environmental conditions or from contact with the user’s skin. If a product is not fully used following that time frame, we suggest replacing it in order to assure product integrity. For additional questions, we invite you to chat.

Do not use lotion underneath.
I was really nervous to test out this tinted moisturizer after reading several reviews. I saw that a lot of the reviews said they had peeling issues. That made me think that the tinted moisturizer wasn't mixing well with something else they were using on their face and determined that if you do not ...

Just didn't work for my dry combination sensitive skin!
**Before I give my review, I must disclose that I put this on and immediately had to take it off because my face got irritated and broke out into a rash/allergic reaction, which is unusual for me with ANY Clinique products.** Review: This small tube of cream was incredibly thick and had a very stro...

Perfection
Best moisturize & coverage. My new forever
58, Asian, very good skin wanting minimal coverage
I wear this as a foundation, be it day or nights. Reasons I love it: 1. It indeed is sheer, and more evens out your skin tone than covers any flaws. If that's what you want, then keep looking. 2. Goes on smooth w my fingertips. I prep with my usual skincare product under, let dry then apply. 3. It is dewey but not oily. 4. Still stays dewy if I lightly dust w a light loose powder, which is only at night. I am 58 but have minimal wrinkles, slight bits of pigmentation, tend to be dry (age), and smooth skin. I use the light medium. I WILL ADD: I accidently bout the light once, thought I'd give it a go. The texture was very different, more sunscreen-ish, less dewy, and all around thumbs down. Maybe some of the bad reviews here are from that tint?
Good, but more pigmented than expected
Verified Reviewer
Reviewed at

I need daily sun protection, and so many sunscreens leave a white or lavender cast. This one does not leave any white cast, but it does have more color pigment than expected from a 'tint.' I would say it is a light to medium coverage foundation with sunscreen. I use in sparingly in the center of the face and blend outward; but using so little makes me wonder if I am really getting good sun protection. Also, the best finish is achieved using the fingers to blend, which I do not like, but a quality brush left me a bit streaky and a sponge soaks up too much product. I will use it, but not sure I am so happy that I would repurchase.
Wonderful Coverage
Perfect lightweight tinted moisturizer with sunscreen. I am pleased with this -- very lightweight -- easy to wear, doesn't feel heavy. Lightly tinted for some coverage (not full) appreciate the added sunscreen. You can always trust Clinique.
