Not For My Skin
-10.21.12
I love my Clinique City Block so I decided to get this sunscreen. I was very disappointed since this broke me out since I am allergic to the ingredients in it. I have to use a sunscreen that has zinc dioxide or titanium in it.

So far, so good

Quick Take: blends in easily, natural
I know a lot of folks are saying that this SPF face cream doesn't blend well with mineral-type foundation, but I have had just the opposite experience. The only time I am left with unattractive and uneven splotchies on my face is when I have put on my foundation without having thoroughly rubbed in the face cream.
Of course, it is not sweat-resistant, as it claims. In fact, a movement is going on right now for companies to remove such language from their labeling. The tube of cream is small enough to carry around, however, for reapplication, if needed.

Great sun protection, but filmy feeling.
-08.29.12
I know that the product is oil free, but if you think you're going to put this on under bare minerals...think again. When I did that, I actually had splotches where bare minerals was sticking to the face cream and my make up looked cakey. I was hoping to get the same type of coverage from this as philosophy's hope oil-free (I loved the way that felt going on and worked well under bare minerals). So I tried this product because my skin was breaking out with the philosophy product, but it hasn't worked out in the way I was hoping. I wish they could make it so that it feels less like an spf that you'd use at the beach and more like a face cream.

Only sunblock I can use.
-04.22.12
Quick Take: non-greasy
I have really sensitive skin, so any other sunblocks that I've tried just burn my face when I use it. This is the only one that doesn't irritate my skin at all. It must have to do with the fact that Clinique doesn't use chemicl sunscreen.

Although it is oil-free, it goes very well with my dry skin. I wear moisturizer underneath, of course!

Gentle on my skin
-12.02.11
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily
I have had this product for a while now and have always enjoyed it. The tube I have is different packaging, but has the same name as the item pictured.
I am very weary of putting sunscreens on my face as I naturally have an oily complexion that can break out if I use heavy products. I found this product to be only slightly greasy (unavoidable when using a sunscreen) and did not cause any breakouts on my face.
I have used this sunscreen under my foundation many times with no issues. My foundation still applies smoothly and evenly.
Over all, I like this product and feel that I can trust it to treat my skin well. I would purchase it again.

A perfect sized sun shield
-11.25.11
Quick Take: blends in easily
I carry this product in my make-up bag that is how compact it is, which is great because I like to take my sunscreen with me everywhere. The best part is that only a small size covers which helps the product last longer as well. I love that it applies smooth to my skin. I do have to admit it feels a little greasy, but I always expect that from my sunscreen lotions.

Quick Take: natural, non-greasy, blends in easily
Bought this sun block because I needed something to travel with that won't cause my sensitive skin to break out while getting protection from the harsh Las Vegas sun.
It's great, it's light, non greasy, blends with make up well.

Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily, great under make-up
This sunblock blends very easily and it has a non-greasy feel. I have very sensitive acne skin and I've had no irregular breakouts with it. I will recommend to anyone who want a little extra protection under your make-up without a white cast or dewy feel.

Non-greasy.
-08.07.11
Quick Take: natural, non-greasy, blends in easily
The greatest thing about this is that it really is non-greasy and absorbs so quickly, leaving my skin feeling very soft and smooth. Throughout the day I do tend to still get oily, but this is the best moisturizer with spf I have tried so far; I like it better then the peter thomas roth one. It also doesn't break me out, which benefits new skincare line does. The added antioxidants are really great for my 20 something-ish skin! Overall its a great product with many benefits that I will keep using until I find something even better.

This sunscreen is perfection. It's not greasy like the sunscreen you would get at Wal Mart or a drug store. Don't hesitate to get this. I'll never use anything else.

Sensitive and Dark Skinned still needs love too...
-07.20.11
Quick Take: natural, non-greasy, light weight, good for sensitive skin
Okay so I've always been a big fan of Clinique and since summer was coming up I started checking out their line of sun block. I have very sensitive skin and I'm also dark skinned but I'm not careless Skin Cancer does not discriminate. So I was looking for a sun screen that was light and I found it in Clinique light, not greasy at all which is a huge plus, it's easy to blend in with the skin so no white marks left behind. Honestly after 5 min of putting it on I didn't feel it at all. And I only need a small amount probably a dime size and it's okay.
