Clinique misled the Ingredients
Verified Reviewer
Reviewed at
I've been using Clinique products forever. Purchased this pressed powder and happened to look at ingredients and to my shock, eventho right there it say's no parabens, was listed two different parabens. Called Clinique at least 6 times and finally got a call back. She didn't have an answer, but said take to Clinique and exchange because formula has changed. Well the sales person went through at least 10 boxes of this powder and all have parabens. She said I guess we haven't received our new formula powders yet. I have an answer, throw out all the ones that do have parabens and send out an apology to everyone who believed you.
its all good
just purchase this item and so far so good! looks really natural on dark skin. please use a primer first.
