I saw the City Block Sheer by Clinique being advertised in a magazine as one of the most useful sunscreens. It appeared there because, as well as being a Sunscreen with SPF 25 for the face, it promises to absorb excess oils produced by the skin as well as keeping perspiration at bay. And in addition to all this, it also claims to be a primer which will allow your make up to last longer and look better in hot and humid weather. As I have both fair and oily skin, this product sounded like it was right up my street. It is suitable for use on all skin types. How does it work? This product is designed to be a physical sunscreen which means that it ...  Read the complete review

One of my daily essentials is a good sunscreen. I like the Dermalogica one that you can add to your moisturiser to give you a daily defence but most of the time I rely on Clinique city block as it is a tried and tested favourite. As I have Roseacea and the sun aggrivates the condition I find that city block because it is slightly tinted not only protects me against the sun but it also gives my skin a little bit of camoflage against any redness. It costs £15.50 for a 40ml tube but a tube of city block will last me for months so it is worth the money. Inside the tube is the cream which as mentioned earlier is slightly tinted. The colour of the tint ...  Read the complete review

I bought this at a "Clinique beauty evening" at Harvey Nichols. Yup the ones where they invite you along to meet a famous make up artist. They give you lots of free champagne, and a bit of food - do you up in lots of make up and give you a goody bag. BUT after the free champagne they suggest that you buy lots of products that they have used on you. It is very sneaky but I have to say that it worked with me! So I purchased this product at a cost of £15 which is not too bad for a large tube. What is it? Well it is a sunscreen for your skin, but also a protector from both sunlight and pollution. The make up artist said to me that it can ...  Read the complete review

~my thoughts~ I bought this on the back of the reviews I read on here for the SPF15 city block and I'm really pleased with it. I work in the city and spend hours stuck on trains and lately my skin has been suffering big time, I've been avoiding make-up where I can because I wanted to give my skin a detox after the xmas period of night after night of war paint, late nights and bad diet. So far its brilliant, I did want the SPF15 but I have been told that Clinique don't make it anymore which is a shame but I get extra protection against the sun isn't bad. It comes in a green tube and a little seems to be going a long way, it only ...  Read the complete review

I have really sensitive skin and summer is usually a nightmare for me because as soon as i go out in the sun my face reacts and becomes red and sensitive. This is obviously a problem for me as everyone else is out enjoying the sun i have to stay behind or stay in the shade. The only product i have found that my skin tolerates daily is Clinique city block sheer which a dermatologist recommended to me to wear daily summer and winter. I've now been using it for a few months and i am impressed with how it has helped my skin. My skin is now no longer as reactive as it used to be. Before i would only have to step out in strong daylight for my face to go red and ...  Read the complete review
