Clinique City Block Sheer SPF 15

I used to work in London and boy did that damage my skin. I would come home every evening and my skin would feel dirty. I found this product and it was a godsend. It really blocks all pollution and protects skin against rays. I wore this every day and my skin improved immensely. It also has a very minute light colour in it and some days when rushed this would suffice over spending time putting foundation on. But of course it depends how you feel with no makeup on! I also use it as a primer under my foundation as it helps keep it on. Although this may not be correct according to makeup artists but it works for me! I would recommend taking this on ...  Read the complete review

i went through a clinique phase. i surfed their website and wanted to get every sort of skincare product they had. when i was younger, my mom always told me to stay out of the sun because it was harmful, it makes me darker, all that stuff. i couldn't see it before, but now that i'm older, i understand better. i guess from that conditioning, i am now 'afraid' of the sun, and hardly ever go out to the beach on a hot summer's day. in fact, never. too hot :) i come from a south-east asian country - malaysia - anyway, the land of perpetual summer. i needed to get another tube of sunblock and decided to give this one a try. i wanted as high a ...  Read the complete review

The counter lady managed to recommend me another of their sun protection which is the 'Super City Block SPF 25'. According to the label, it doesn't use any chemical sun protectants (I wonder what it means?) and it's oil-free. It doesn't irritate my skin and it absorbs quickly leaving a non-greasy physical protective layer. I was a bit apprehensive about the product at first because it is slightly tinted, but I noticed that it disappears into the skin ...  Read the complete review

Perfect for the summer, this gives light sheer coverage, combined with SPF25 to protect your face and filters to protect your skin from all the gunk in the city air. The coverage is quite light, and doesn't really cover serious blemishes, but it does even out skin tone, and it's great for warm weather, when you don't want to look like you're wearing lots of makeup. It works well as a base too, worn underneath normal foundations, which don't tend to have the same SPF levels. Price is about £12, but a tube seems to last a long time (I've had my last one for 6 months and I still haven't finished it). ...  Read the complete review
