Review: Clinique Face Cream SPF50 with SolarSmart

I bought this item about a month and a half back... almost. I was super excited to try it out... reasons were because it was finally a face suncream that was higher than SPF15/20, it had UVA and UVB protection and it was oil-free and all that jazz.

I tried it out for a week, a new product of course and by the end of the week, I started BREAKING OUT. I had TONS of mini bumps all OVER my forehead. It reminded me of when I first hit puberty and my forehead looked like a very coarse sandpaper. I was furious. I had not broke out like that since I was 14 and had worked SO HARD on keeping my skin pristine.

Verdict: WILL NEVER BUY AGAIN. EVER. EVER.

Product details:

It promises Oil-free, Sweat-resistant, Non-acnegenic and Appropriate for sensitive skin

Excuse my french but what a bunch of BULL. However, it may just be my type of skin, but it was horrible. I felt so down on how the product made my skin look!!!

Cons:

• Product did not deliver anything that it promised
• it still felt very greasy
• $20 for 1.7 fl oz/50 mL which is very little. I mean it is sunscreen, users will want to re-apply which can be hard with such little amount.
• Just did not deliver

Pros:

• Easy to find in stores
• Great smelling product, especially for a sunscreen.

Overall I give this product a 0.5/5 and that 1/2 a point is given mainly for the product idea itself. It was a nice effort, but I am still on the look for a facial sunscreen that will deliver.
