Quick Take: contains SPF, sheer coverage, lightweight
This product is great, I have used it for years. I put it on instead of foundation when I just want a little color. It's great.

I was super stoked to get this because my experience with clinique's moisture surge in the past was wonderful, so why not try the tinted one? Immediately my skin started breaking out. It was horrible. Two days after stopping using it my skin is already clearing up again. If you have acne and skin problems, I do not recommend this product.

Quick Take: a secret weapon.
I can't wear foundation because I think it is alsways so obvious, but this blends what I need in moisture and SPF with a hint of coverage. it also has illuminating tendancies and makes me ravishingly beautiful.

tried sample
-04.12.13
Quick Take: contains SPF, cakey, color changes
I got a sample of this in shade 001. It applied great very moisturizing and nice coverage. Within 15 minutes it had turned orangey on my skin. This happens to me 9 out of 10 times with all the new makeup formulations I have tried. I purposely did not put anything on under this knowing that maybe this was the cause of the color change in makeup but it happened anyway. Glad I got a sample first. Also, this has more coverage than your average tinted moisurizer and I felt that it was thick and cakey.

Best I Have Found
-04.07.13
I really like this prodct from Clinique. It is a lot more light weight than a foundation, but you have to be careful not to put too much on or it can look caked on. It looks very even and lasts all day.

Got it wrong!
-04.01.13
Although I am a huge Clinique fan, they got it all wrong with this one. Not very good coverage, leaves skin greasy, and slides off your face.

This actually makes my already oily skin more oily! It also causes my powder foundation and setting powder to set in my lines. And it doesn't really make you have any color, my BB cream gives me more color.

the only foundation I use!
-03.18.13
I have never been able to stand the feeling of anything on my skin, even bare minerals was irritating and felt heavy. Clinique combined their fabulous moisturizer and a lightly tinted color to an spf 15 sunscreen. Perfect for my picky skin! I wear this everyday and it gives me the light coverage and the protection from the sun I need while keeping my skin lightly hydrated.

Not what I was expecting
-03.16.13
Quick Take: heavy, drying, orange
I received a sample of the lightest color from my local Clinique. Not only was the color way too orange for my fair skin, it is very heavy and cakey feeling. I've tried using it alone and mixing it with my daily moisturizer. Both attempts left my skin looking dry and feeling like straw. I wish I would love this since it has SPF in it, but it isn't sheer like it is advertised.

Nothing Special
-03.09.13
Quick Take: overpowering, drying
Pretty disappointed with this product overall... felt it dried my skin out and the "hint of tint" took over my face. The shade was right but the color was super heavy and looks terrible. I'll try to finish the bottle since I've already paid for it but wouldn't buy again.

Good Product
-03.07.13
Quick Take: contains SPF
I like this product, but am concerned that I picked the wrong shade--makes me look orange-y. If it weren't for that I would give it a 5 star. I can't wait till Clinique puts out a Moisture Surge that is 30 instead of 15 spf.

Great Product
-03.07.13
I really like this product as it has quite heavy coverage compared to most tinted moisturizers. Goes on nicely and with a swipe of powder it works for daytime well. The only reason I took off one star is the size - it is quite a small amount for what you pay - for everyday use, it will only last maybe two weeks. Would be nice if they made a larger size. Other than that - it's a keeper.

I have a T zone oily face. This DID give me a dewy finish, but all over my face. I would have preferred if it came on a bit less "shiny" all over my face. Perhaps I would just use it over my cheeks if I wanted more of a glow.

Love This Stuff!
-02.24.13
Quick Take: contains SPF, sheer coverage, lightweight, non-greasy
Product does what it says; provides moisture, goes on smooth, light coverage. Oil-free formula feels cool on the skin. It does have a somewhat dewy finish, which you may or may not like. I have oily skin, so dewy isn't a good idea for me. I put this stuff on after moisturizing and then dust some loose powder over my face to soak up a little of that "dewy", and that's it! It's something I use more in the summer when light coverage and breathable skin is the way to go. Definitely give this a try, I prefer it to Benefit's tinted moisturizer, whatever it's called.

Great Moisturizer

Clinque's tinted moisturizer with SPF is the best so far that I have used. It covers evenly and leaves your skin silky smooth.
