- 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.

Love!!!
I love this sunscreen! What makes it different than other sunscreens is that it has a skin tone tint to it! So it doesn't give a white cast or flash back, like the other sunscreens that are white do. Also doesn't smell weird or have any harsh chemicals! Love this stuff!

Greasy, Ineffective
I have purchased based on the good reviews. This product has very low viscosity and is quite oily so it's difficult to apply a decent amount. Using the recommended amount (a teaspoon for your face), one bottle would last you a bit under six applications. The tint is very light - even for me (light/f...

My absolute #1 Sun protection for my face
The tint is light enough that I (super pale natural redhead) can use it. My go to is this product and a light dusting of powder foundation. Also wears great under a liquid foundation. I was distraught when it was discontinued. I'm so happy it's back in stock.
Surprise Winner
I tried this randomly and it was a nice surprise. I have fair skin and this evened out my redness and didn't oxidize and turn orange-y on my skin.
The best SPF I've ever used!
This is the best spf ive ever used! It's lightweight, has a tint to help with uneven skin tone, and actually truly helps with sun burn i will forever repurchase!
Best Face SPF
I was very disappointed when Clinque discontinued! I'm so happy its back and highly recommend for any age! I use daily with my moisturizer. It is not greasy at all and does not plug pores.

Blend in really well. Doesn't leave a residue or have your face looking oily. It really hard finding a moisturizer that has a SPF 50 that works well on your face
