Advantages: Removes oil, a little goes a long way.

Disadvantages: It claims it can be used over makeup whilst leaving makeup intact but it messed up my makeup

Clinique's Pore Minimiser T-zone Shine Control £11.50 for 15ml (it doesn't sound like a lot for your money, but a little goes a long way)

***Function***

It is a colourless oil-free gel. It reduces shine in the t-zone. It can be worn alone or under or over foundation. It is for all skin-types.

***How to apply***

Just take a small amount and gently rub it/ pat it onto the concerned area (I use it around the nose)

***Advantages***

- It reduces shine in the t-zone.
- It is good value for money.
- It doesn't dry the skin out.

***Disadvantages***

The shine did not stay away for too long and I had to reapply it again about 1 hour later and putting it on twice messed up my makeup a lot. So this really annoyed me because it claims that it leaves makeup intact.

***Would I recommend this product?***

Probably not because it doesn't 100% do what it says on the packaging and I do not like false claims. I have tried the product several times now and It disappoints me every time. I love the Clinique brand and this is the only product I have used from Clinique that I wouldn't recommend, so I didn't let it put me off Clinique. Perhaps this product is better for people that do not wear makeup but who have oily skin that needs controlling throughout the day.

Summary: More bad than good points to this Clinique product so I wouldn't recommend it!
