I used to love this product, but not so much anymore. This lotion is not great for harsh NYC winters, but yet too greasy for the summer. I keep it around whenever I just need a cheap moisturizer to throw on my face when I run errands. It never feels like it soaks into my skin and feels like it's just a film that sits on top of my skin. It doesn't dry matte and leaves my face shiny and disgusting looking. The gel version is much better, surprisingly. But as far as this original version goes, I'm no longer a fan. I only use it when they give the sample size portions of it out with the Clinique gift bags.

Works well, but only temporarily. Your skin gets immune to it.

I love this stuff. When I first started using it, I saw an immediate difference in my skin within the first week. My complexion was more even and my skin looked supple and just glowed. It's a great choice for a night time lotion. I'm in my late 20s, so prevention of wrinkles is important and I think this cream does the trick.

I've been a Clinique user for over 15 years, every since I was old enough to sneak into my mother's bathroom and steal those little green makeup compacts and go crazy on my own face. As an adult, I can appreciate Clinique's high quality skin products to improve the health of your skin. This product is no exception! It exfoliates gently and makes your skin absorb the lotion better! A lot of skin dullness will go away after regular use. Just fabulous. Occassionally during the winter, you might want to switch to a heavier lotion or use it once a day instead of twice if you are prone to getting little dry spots or flaky skin.

Saw only slight improvement for a 6 month old burn scar from a curling iron (clumsy!). The amount of improvement isn't really worth the money. The reality is that very few drug store brands are actually effective on scars. You'd have to get a dermatologist to get you a prescription strength scar fading cream to get real results!

The alcohol content is pretty high in this toner, so it'll dry the life out of your skin! I used to use this LIBERALLY as a teenager on my formerly oily skin (I obviously didn't know any better, since drying out your skin only makes it produce more oil faster!!!!). It works fast to get rid of pimples and sops up oil temporarily, but the long term pay-off is flaky, dry and tight skin. No adult should be using this! And I'd be hesitant to recommend this to teenagers too. Clean & Clear has a version for sensitive skin with less alcohol, so that may be a better alternative. The smell is a little weird too, slightly medicinal. May be an issue for daytime use.

Perfect face lotion to buy if you use the Jergens self-tanner for the body. Basically does the same, except just a gentler formula for the face, especially if you have sensitive skin. Very natural, non-orange color. Took about 3 days for me, with exfoliation before applying. The smell is strong, as with all self-tanners, but I either put it on at night or diluted it a bit with my regular daytime moisturizer (and it still worked that way!) Very similar to the results of Clinique Self-Sun. Love it.

I got a little over zealous at the Clinique counter and got this eye cream for "preventative measures". The lady working there advised against it for my 20-something skin, but I insisted on buying it. I realize now that she was right and that I should have saved my $35 and bought dinner with it instead! I admit that I get a little obsessive with my skin, and this was definitely not one of my best purchases. Not age appropriate for me. It's a little heavy for younger skin, although I could really see it working wonders for someone with more mature skin. Doesn't really address dark under eye circles that someone in their 20s may experience (stick with All About the Eyes!).

This translucent powder is great for setting makeup. Doesn't leave a white ghost like cast on the face and controls oil fairly well, although for the summer when I am extra oily I still do prefer MAC's blot powder. I love this stuff though for the rest of the year. When I use this, I don't have to reapply during the day just maybe a mid-day blot with a sheet. Love!

It's a cult favorite for a reason. This glue is the best and the only glue I will use for my eyelashes. When properly applied, your falsies will absolutely not budge. I have ventured out and tried other lash glues and all of them pale in comparison to this one. Gentle on your skin and dries clear. I'm definitely a fan!
