I started using the Clinique CC cream as a lighter option to my foundation. I got more than I expected. It is quite viscous but that leads to great coverage. I think it is easy to apply with the fingers, but for a better finish I apply it with a brush. The light colour matches my skin colour perfectly regardless of winter or light summer skin. The highlight for me is the SPF, so I don't have to use extra suncream to protect my skin.

I don't know if it's my skin, or my moisturiser, or my primer... but something does not react well to this CC cream. When I apply it, it goes on very oddly - it leaves almost like streaks across my face and sits very un-naturally on my skin. I can't get it to blend in right at all on its own.
I've tried it with different primers and moisturisers but that hasn't seemed to help. What has helped is mixing it with a l'Oreal BB cream - that makes it easier to apply and it sits more naturally on my skin. Obviously this isn't ideal, but it works. It still doesn't have staying power, but it is a pretty ok solution till I finish the tube up.
What I do like about it is that Clinique gets that girls with fair skin need fair products! The colour is perfect for my skin tone... if only it applied a bit better I'd be thrilled!
Tips: Strongly suggest getting a sample of this before you commit to buy. I wish I'd done that!
This cc cream has quite sheer coverage. It evened out my skin tone a bit but didn't really hide any of my blemish and acne scars or my redness. To be honest I didnt really find this to be colour correcting and don't see the difference between bb and cc creams. This was the first cc cream I used and I've used higher coverage bb creams in the past. I thought I would get a bit more coverage from this cc cream. I have this in the shade light, which matches my skin tone nicely. It's so sheer that you can't even tell I'm wearing it as my skin just looks normal. But perhaps I need to apply more layers to build up the coverage.
The consistency of this cc cream was nice, and smooth to apply. The consistency is similar to a bb cream and a bit thicker than your moisturiser. It was easy to blend on your skin and you can easily use your fingers but I prefer to use a brush. I set mine with powder and this lasts most if the day on my face. I have oily combination skin and found that this cc cream wasn't too oily and didn't leave my skin feeling sticky or tacky.
The packaging is a simple pale pink tube that is easy to squeeze and get the product out. Overall I won't be purchasing tip this again especially because this product is expensive.
I'm not sure if it was just my skin tone, but the palest colour seemed like a weird orangey pink on me. Aside from that, it applied patchy and weird on my skin, sticking to all my tiny haired and showcasing all my pores. It was also super sheer on the rest of my skin (maybe because all of it was in my pores, nowhere else!!). Overall this was an absolute disaster on my skin.
I went into the pharmacy looking for a new BB cream and come out with the Clinique CC moisture surge cream. I purchased the shade light which was a perfect match for my pale skin. I paid $50 which is a bit more than I usually spend. It comes in a pink 40ml squeezy tube with a metallic screw top.
I have dry skin with redness. This cream goes on so smooth. It does not cling to dry patches. It feels lovely to apply. For me it has great coverage and makes my skin look quite flawless but at the same time also very natural looking which I love. It does not cake on my face at all.
It lasts quite well throughout the day. I find it does not transfer or rub off however I am not a face toucher lol my face or others! I love that it is SPF 30 that is a huge bonus.
You only need a small amount to cover your entire face and neck so the tube will last for ages. I also like to pop a little powder over top sometimes and it sits well on top of this.
Love using this right now and it has been my everyday CC cream since I purchased it.
I brought this from farmers hoping it would help with my after workout redness. It definitely does! Its really nice and smooth apply and the coverage is so natural. No caking at all. It covers my redness beautifully without blocking pores. Only downside is it does not last all day.
Evens my skintone, and gives a healthy glow. I use this on days when o don’t wear allot of makeup. This doesn’t cover spots or blemishes, but does make skin look more even and healthy.
Tips: Apply over moisturiser if you have very dry skin.
Don't skip on this one. This blending like a dream and stayed on all day. I don't like using foundation all the time and this one was just perfect for me. I have blemishes and combination skin and this was just the right amount of coverage.
Tips: Wait for your skincare to sink in before you use this and always use sunblock for added protection
I have used this a few times now, its definitely a moisture ‘surge’ it’s super refreshing and for me being so dry my face just sucks this up and it feels so nice and plump afterwards! Feels lightweight and nice on the skin too!
I use the BB cream and switched to this on a trial, but found this to leave my skin more oily than the BB cream. So I switched back to BB cream. Great that it has SPF 30
Tips: Good to use under a lighter foundation for more coverage and added sun protection
