- Q
Can I apply the tinted moisturizer underneath my eyes, before using concealer? Also, is it safe for eyelids? Thank you
- Asked by M
- Official Answer By Clinique USThank you for your question. Clinique Moisture Surge Sheertint Hydrator Broad Spectrum SPF 25 Tinted Moisturizer is ophthalmologist tested and can be used around the eye area up to the orbital bone. However, it should not be used on the direct eye area or eyelid. To prep the skin for concealer, we recommend Clinique All About Eyes Eye Cream with Vitamin C paired with your favorite Clinique concealer.Was this answer helpful to you

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.

I just purchased this product and took it out if the box, took the cap off, and noticed there was no seal. There was a bit of product in the cap. I was expecting a seal to be under the cap, as the box is not sealed. Is this normal or was it used before I purchased it?

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...

Great Coverage and Makes Me Glow

I've tried a million different tinted moisturizers that didn't cover enough or the color was really off and I've tried to do the SPF under a foundation. I don't wear a lot of make-up but as my skin has aged It just looks way better with a bit of color. Although I do find this to be thicker than a tinted moisturizer, the coverage is fantastic and actually works as a sunscreen. The color is beautiful and lasts all day. I have used a setting spray that was helpful when it's 90 degrees out.
Not a good shade match
I fell in between light and light medium. Light was too light and light medium made my cool skin tone look yellow. Ive had this problem with Clinique shades in the past. The moisturizer also tends to roll off my skin. Found another brand.
Don't waste your money!
I really wanted to like this. I tested it with multiple different moisturizers, layering it, not layering it, primer, no primer….it does not stay on the skin. It pills up and flakes off. If I can manager to get it to stop pilling up it transfers or fades into non existence. Hate it for the price. Much better options available for better price
Perfect Light Foundation

I used Balanced and Superbalanced for over 35 years. My whole adult life. Nothing could compare. After turning 50 I wanted something lighter so I tried a drugstore brand. I thought it was working okay until I started wearing my glasses in the lighted bathroom at work. It looked so chalky. So I finally bought this and my skin looks amazingly better.! Love it!!
Too thick
Verified Reviewer

I bought this to replace my moisture sheer tint SPF 15 tube because it was very old, years old, and the SPF was probably not working any more. But this new one was much thicker, maybe because the SPF number was higher. It left a residue on my face whereas the old one was silky and smoother and just blended in nicely. I could use it instead of foundation. I am return9ng the SPF 25 version.
