- 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...

The orange ring is not fun and doesn't spread well
Also the closer you get to the bottom of the tube it begins to pill
Great sun protection & goes on easy

I love this face sunscreen. I bought a 2nd one to keep in my backpack. I'm a man with dry, sensitive, and very pale skin. This goes on easy and just needs a thin layer. It doesn't run into my eyes when I sweat. It goes on so smooth and quickly dries/absorbs into the skin. It has a slight tint - so that you don't look like a ghost with thick sunscreen. It looks natural, the tint does not show - it only prevents it from looking like white paint. It stays on when I sweat - and I sweat a lot. I am very happy with this sunscreen. It is part of an overall routine - but my skin has never looked better.
The best sunscreen cream ever!

It works perfectly in Florida!!!! It is neither greasy nor sticky at all. I use this product for more than 2 years, once I started, my skin gets healthier.
Amazing! My favorite mineral sunscreen!
I use this in addition to my moisture surge. I love the hydration of moisture surge and love the finish of this sunblock. Everybody I have let try (varying skin types and shades) has looked amazing after using this. Your skin will look more evenly textured and smooth after using this. Its like wearing makeup, but you're not and it looks super natural. It also works fantastic under make up. Great primer. I have rosacea and acne prone skin that is sensitive and out of all of the products I have ever tried, this and moisture surge hydrate and protect the best. I have dry combination skin.
Effective Product
I have been using this product daily for over a year. I really like it and I feel it smooths the skin and helps prevent sun damage.
