In high school, I was a total Clinique junkie. I had it all, the moisturizer, toner, mascara, you name it. And while my tastes and brands have changed over the years, one of the few Clinique products I still use and absolutely love is this: Super City Block, SPF 25.
What is it?: A light, tinted facial sunscreen appropriate for sensitive skin and even around the eye area. Protects against UVA/UVB rays.
What I love about it: It’s oil-free, which is great for me because it works well on my sensitive skin without causing me to break out. It also provides a link tint on my uneven skin so if I don’t want to, I don’t have to put foundation on over it. Now it won’t give you a full foundation coverage but it’s enough to help you run to the store or out for brunch without doing the full makeup routine. It also goes on really light and spreads evenly. Sometimes I’ll even just wear this on Sunday mornings when I go for my walk so I get UV ray protection without compromising my vanity :)
What I don’t love about it: It can take a few minutes to really soak into the skin. I know all SPF does but maybe I apply too liberally because I often have to wait several minutes before continuing my routine. It’s not a big issue and it doesn’t keep me from replacing this product but just an FYI.
Cost: $17.50
Again, I really like this product and think it does well on my skin and in my makeup routine. Plus, you can also get this in SPF 40 as well, which I would love to take with me to the beach.
Any other Clinique fans out there? Have you tried this before?
I use the City Block too, when I’m going to be outside for any length of time, then usually do a layer of Almay mineral makeup on top to set it.
