- Q
Where is the expiration date on this product. I see no "M" number.
- Asked by Carlene
- Official Answer By Clinique USWe're happy to help! 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 unopened products, they should be good for at least 3 years under normal use conditions, provided they are not exposed to extreme heat or cold.Was this answer helpful to you

Compared to my Volition Prismatic Shield . . .
Reading previous reviews almost made me pass on this great sunscreen. Once Volition changed their formula, I went on a hunt to escape white cast. I tried Black Girl Sunscreen and it was too oily . . . I could never seem to get my hands on the matte version. In comes Clinique. I think having never tr...

Meh.
I am another one of those people that used the Super Cityblock SPF40 for -years- (like a decade). I LOVED the product, I would chose purchasing it over feeding my kids (JK). But for real, I would always be willing to pay 3x as much as other facial screen suns for Clinique's because I just loved it t...

Product is lightweight, goes on the face easily, a little goes a long way. I highly recommend!!
I don't go anywhere without it!
Now that summer is here, I don't go anywhere without it! I used to sparingly in the winter but now that we are in full sun days its a must! Its not to thick or greasy. Its blends into my skin beautifully and my makeup last all day! It does a great job of hiding and protecting my dark spots to make sure they dont get worse or more gets added to my face. Keep this product around forever please! The 50 is my jam! Sensitive skin commemter here! :)
Not sure why the negative reviews! It's my HG!
Tried it in store per the clinique associate and I really like it! It is on the thicker side but it spreads nicely and doesnt pill when paired with clinique moisture surge 100H or peach and lily's matcha moisturizer (my two HG moisturizers). You need your moisturizer to dry for 15 minutes and THEN apply your spf, this dramatically reduces it from pilling. It does look very orange when dispensed but it gives me a great sheer tint that looks like I put makeup on, its beautiful! So I wear alone typically on non-makeup days but does work very well as a primer as well (I use IT cosmetics CC+ foundation in light warm medium. For reference, I am also WN04 Bone in Clinique even better makeup so light/med and the tint works great for me. Wish it came in a bigger bottle! As it is pricy when you apply the standard 1/4tsp.
