Clinique Super Defense SPF25/PA++ says ---Skin's most complete defense against the visible signs of aging in daily moisturizer. Arms it to fight the effects of emotional stress, which can damage skin with effect much like sun and pollution. Helps neutralize UVA and UVB
Available in - Very dry to dry
- Very Oily to Oily
Askmewhats says ---Pros - non-oily
- doesn't feel heavy on skin
- has sunblock SPF25
- absorbs quickly
- no bad skin reactions
- doesn't have the yucky sunblock smell, its not totally scent free though, it has a mild minty scent that disappear right after application (bearable for me)
- this huge jar will last more than 6 months
Cons OverallI am honestly excited about this product because this product was made to address comprehensive list of assaults that can prematurely age skin.
- physiological stress
- emotional stress
- environmental stress - such as sun and pollution
I know this is the reformulated version. I haven't tried the old formula so I cannot really compare it to the newer one. I can only compare this to other Clinique moisturizers I've used, the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion and the Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Skin Relief. This feels creamier and a bit heavier.
Texture is creamy
not runny at all
Slowly blend this into your skin

Here's what I've done to test this product ---1. Clinique's 3-step program:works pretty well for people with dry skin like mine, but for people with oily skin, they could feel uncomfortable adding extra moisture on top of a moisturizer.
2. Clinique Cleanser and Toner (no moisturizer):meaning, I only use the first 2 step then proceed to this product. I like how this feels, I like this better because my skin is moisturized without the heavy feel.
3. Non- Clinique Cleanser and Toner: Same effect as no. 2, skin did not react negatively.
---------------------------------------
Did you know that?I had bad food allergies and it reacted badly on my cheeks a couple of weeks ago. I used this as my day time moisturizer and it relieves the itchiness and dryness without causing more trouble for my skin! This product is definitely safe to use for the most sensitive skin.
(in my opinion)---------------------------------------
Tips - apply every morning after your usual skin care routine
- do not apply so much at once, a little goes a long way
- wait for a couple of minutes for the product to absorb before putting on make up
- check with the counter advisers if you fall under the category of Oily or Dry skin
- use a spoon to get the product or transfer your moisturizer into smaller jars to prevent the whole jar to be exposed at once
Will I purchase?Yes. I am almost done with my Clinique's DDML, this will be my day moisturizer!
Where can you purchase and how much?At Clinique counters at any Rustan's mall for
Php2,900 (approx $60.00)-----------------------------------
