Clinique Smart Clinical Repair AM/PM Retinoid Balm I received this Clinique Retinoid Balm from #Clinique and #Influenster, in return for my honest and unbiased review. It comes in this pretty metallic purple tube. The balm twists up like a lipstick, and is small enough to carry in your pocket or h...

Silky on my skin, easily glides on and sinks in
I applied AM/PM Retinol Balm every time I washed my face on the crows feet and between brows (frown and bunny lines….it's not as cute as it sounds). The stick is the size of a lip balm. It makes a perfect retinol for traveling. There was no scent, and I did not experience any reactions. The solid ...

I received this product free to test and review. I can't say I really noticed any results in my fine lines or creases. I used it for a month every night, targeting my forehead and brow creases, but it just made my skin feel greasy (even the next morning). I have combination dry/normal skin regularly. It was easy to apply and didn't add much work to my regular skincare routine. The packaging is attractive and compact.

Product is so easy to apply! No strong scent which is nice. Easy to store and use. Can't comment on effectiveness just yet since products like this take a long time to see change, but I do love the feel on my skin.

First off, thank you, Influensters, for the free gift in exchange for a review. I absolutely love the vibrant purple color of the tube it's both eye-catching and appealing. The packaging is also a cute, soft green that feels very secure and safe for the product. The compact size is perfect for travel, fitting easily into my purse without taking up much space. As for the texture, it feels incredibly moisturizing, almost like Vaseline but much smoother, which I really enjoyed. The absorption is a bit oily but not too overwhelming—it leaves a slight sheen, which some may appreciate. Another aspect I appreciated is that the product is scentless. Sometimes, scents can be overwhelming or unpleasant, and in some cases, they can even trigger reactions on sensitive skin. So, the lack of fragrance was a definite plus for me. When it comes to effectiveness, I noticed a slight improvement in my skin. It definitely kept my skin smooth, but I didn't see a significant difference in the appearance of wrinkles. While there was some change, it wasn't as much as I had hoped for. Overall, I did like the product, especially for its moisturizing qualities, the secure packaging, and the fact that it's scentless. However, I feel the price is a bit steep considering the minimal results I saw regarding wrinkle reduction. If it were more affordable, I might consider purchasing it for the moisturization alone. But for those who don't mind spending a little extra and are looking for hydration with some noticeable results, I'd say it could be worth it for you. All in all, I'm grateful for the opportunity to test it out and appreciate the benefits I did experience.

I'm absolutely loving the Clinique Retinol Balm! It's been a game-changer for my skin. The convenience of this product is unbeatable. The texture is divine, feeling luxurious and moisturizing without any greasiness. Plus, it's fragrance-free, which is a huge win for my sensitive skin. I've noticed a significant reduction in wrinkles and fine lines after just a month of use. It's amazing to have a product that delivers results without requiring a lengthy skincare routine. I've already made it a staple in my routine.

Can I use this product with the moisture surge serum?
- Asked by Katie
- Official Answer By Clinique USMoisture Surge Active Glow Serum and Smart Clinical Repair AM/PM Retinoid Balm both accelerate the skin's natural cell renewal, so we do not recommend layering the two.
