Like it but don't love it
-05.07.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I really liked this product-- high SPF, goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly, didn't break me out. But it didn't give me quite enough moisture for my parched cheeks. A few minutes after applying, my T-zone felt fine but my cheeks felt like they could use another layer. My skin is quirky, but there are definitely other moisturizers that work better for me, so this one is going back. Still, I think it's a good product.

light weight cream
-05.02.13
Quick Take: lightweight
It feels nice when put on and provides that added sunblock. I think it takes a while to absorb so I put it on, get dressed, do hair, and then apply make up. I like that it does not have a fragrance but will try something a little more moisturizing next time

Love it!

Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
Love it! I have used it for about a month. I wanted an unsecent moisturizer that was light and non-pore clogging. This is it! I have not broken out from it yet and my skin feels so smooth.

Great paired with Clinique Super Rescue
-03.15.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
After using skincare products from "low" to "high" end products, I found the one for me. I have eczema, which can be severe during dry winter days. Also, my skin attracts a lot of dirt. But after using Superdefense, I feel a dramatic difference. It protects my skin from dirt and keeps it looking healthy. When paired with
Clinique Super Rescue Antioxidant Night Moisturizer, my skin looked 5 years younger!
I've been using this product for 6 months now and my skin has never been this clean, hydrated, and soft (those with eczema know what I'm talking about)! Even though you see immediate results, it only gets better with time!

Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, hydrating
I just switched over to this day cream because my old shiseido sunblock was way too drying for my skin. I absolutely love this cream. I read a few previous reviews regarding an awful smell, and it doesn't bother me so much. It smells like most sunblocks do, and fades within seconds. It moisturizes my dry skin well and a little goes a long way. I have sensitive skin that tends to burn with certain heavy creams, but this one is fine. I think I found my new SPF day cream.

Not great.
-02.26.13
This product gives a slight burning sensation to the skin and does not moisturize enough, though it does at least absorb quickly. Not great for sensitive skin types.

Glad I found this product!

Finally a moisturizer with SPF that does not block the pores! Feels creamy and rich on skin, but is actually quite light weight and absorbs quickly leaving skin soft and smooth. Pleasant scent. This is definitely a keeper!

Fragrance is to be desired
-01.06.13
Quick Take: intensive
I love Clinique's products and this day moisturizer had everything I was looking for, but the fragrance of the lotion is AWFUL. I am not sure how to describe it, but it not nice. Sadly, I really despise putting this on just because of the smell. Putting that aside, the moisturizer is thick and creamy and definitely not lightweight. I would not recommend this for anyone who has oily or combination skin because of the weight of it.

Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive, amazing feeling, wont sting eyes
wow this day cream is wonderful. I was scared it might break me out becuase of the sunscreen, but becuase its not a mineral sunscreen (cloggs pores) i was fine! I wanted something that was for first signs of aging, i am 24 and noticed i have one wrinkle! i used to break out once and a while from switching products so i was scared to try and age prevention stuff. This cream is not to rich but make my skin baby soft in the winter months. i use the super antioxidant at nighttime aswell and my skin has never looked better and i havnt broken out since i started using it! best!!!

Not enough for women over 30!
-10.11.12
Quick Take: lightweight, too lightweight!, not good for women over 30!
I've used Clinique products for years and been very pleased. I decided to try this moisturizer and was very disappointed! It would be a great light weight or summer moisturizer for women under 30. Five minutes after I put in on my face feels and looks like I haven't put any moisturizer on. I will definitely not buy this again. I'm not ever sure I will continue using this jar.

Not good for acne prone skin!
-10.04.12
Quick Take: absorbs quickly, hydrating
This is a great cream I ended up giving my husband for his tattoo while it healed. It was too greasy to use on my hands and my face felt oily after use/ I would recommend this to those who require a heavier moisturizer. It does absorb quickly however and smells fine.

This is theonly moisturizer I will use. It makes my skin super soft and doesn't break me out. It absorbs really quickly and doesn't feel greasy at all. The other moisturizers I've tried are too heavy or too light, but this one is just right!!

perfect all year!
-07.13.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, effective
After trying product after product to heal the dry patches of skin on my face, I decided to try a product a little more expensive than the $4 Clean & Clear lotion I had been using. After extensive research, I decided to give Clinique's Superdefense moisturizer a try as I knew that with summer just around the corner, finding a moisturizer with SPF was a must! A little bit of the moisturizer goes a long way and I haven't had any dry flakey skin patches since I began using it. I would recommend this product to anyone who has sensitive and dry combination skin!

Nope!
-07.11.12
I did not like this moisturizer. Too light weight with a white sheen for Olive skin types which fades but feel like it's more drying than moisturizing. Keep away from your eyes because it majorly stings.

Starting using this after the birth of my first baby because nursing him was sucking the life out of my skin. This does the job. It is light and the container lasts a long time (about six months, but I use it only in the AM).

Yay Clinique!
-06.17.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I am sooo stoked clinique is finally putting spf in their products. I have combination skin, dry in the morning, oily by the end of the day and I have seen an improvement in my overall look and feel of my face. It's non-greasy and absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a super lotiony feeling when you go to apply your makeup.
