Great sunscreen, but need a larger bottle
This sunscreen is nice for those of us who prefer or require a mineral sunblock. It goes on smoothly, and it is neither oily nor drying. The tint works well on my skin tone, but it might be too light for others. My only issue is with the size of the bottle. It's a well-known fact that you need 1/4 t...

1fl oz. seriously?
I bought this item based in all the wonderful reviews it has. But what I didn�t pay attention to is the fact that all of them are from customers that received it as a sample. Nowhere in the item description it specifies that it is on ONE fluid ounce. This is smaller than the free minis you get for p...

I love this sunscreen. It is weightless and feels nice on my skin plus the bottle is cute and fits in my purse nicely.
Really like this sunscreen
This mineral sunscreen is so easy to blend in and it gives a really nice finish on my skin. It seems lighter on my face than other minerals that I've tried and it is working out pretty well for my very sensitive skin. I no longer have to deal with the white cast and trying to rub it in like I had to do with all the other mineral sunscreens that I've tried. I do wish the bottle contained more product but besides that I really like it. I hope Clinique doesn't discontinue it.
Goes on well
Is one of few mineral sunscreens with high spf that goes on easily and doesn't leave white ghostly layer!. For my skin type and color, the tint was not too much and is like having light layer of foundation. Please don't retire this product again!
I love this sunscreen!
I've only tried this product for a couple days straight so far but absolutely love it! It is SO easy for me to rub in (especially for a mineral) and it gives such a nice finish on the face with no cast. Just a healthy glow, which my face could really use! The only down side I have is that it's such a small container and I hope they don't discontinue making it. I've tried so many different products that didn't work, from breaking my skin out to giving me rashes. So far, none of that with this. I'm very happy with it!
The perfect facial sunscreen!

My skin is super sensitive, and this is the only sunscreen I've found that doesn't either dry me out, break me out, or otherwise irritate my skin. I so appreciate that this one is mineral, since my face can be irritate bye chemical filters! I can't really speak to white cast, as I'm relatively pale, but I think the slight tint is nice. Additionally, makeup goes on fine over the top. So many newer sunscreens contain caprylic/capric triglyceride, which is a problem ingredient for me, so I'm glad this one doesn't! I will note that it isn't water proof, so if you live somewhere humid it might not be ideal. It went out of stock for a while, and I was so worried that it wouldn't come back, or would come back having been reformulated, but it still works just as well for me! I really hope Clinique keeps this one around as-is for a long time.

- Q
Has this Clinique PEP START spf 50 mineral sunscreen 1 oz been discontinued or not???? Two years ago one answer mentioned it was replaced with mineral spf 50 FLUID for the FACE. Well that sounds like this exact product. Please CLARIFY. Is this product PEP START still available as of October 2023? Also how are we to read the Lot or Code # regarding manufactured date? SPF looses effectiveness overtime, correct? So why no expiration dates?

Since Clinique sadly discontinued this product, what tinted 100% mineral spf does Clinique offer that is comparable? I've been searching for a tinted spf for so long now and JUST when I find the holy grail y'all discontinue it… I am so sad.
