Clinique Superdefense Night Recovery Moisturizer 50ml

This is my daily facial moisturizer and I apply it twice a day after I wash my face with my Clinique face wash. For many years (6?) it served me well and is worth the price because a little goes a long way. I recently moved (only 20 minutes away) and my skin is now dryer than it was in my old house. No matter how much I apply, it isn't enough to stop my skin from flaking around my mouth/chin. I have an extremely oily forehead, very sensitive skin and am still prone to some acne so I don't want to switch to the dry combination version but I did just go ahead and order a new facial moisturizer (different brand) to try and combat this dryness.

This worked well for me for many years because it kept my face moisturized and as long as I kept my hands from my face, I didn't get acne. I do have good genetics but I am soon to be 32 and often get told how young I look for my age. I do credit some of this to adopting a good skin regimen when I was in my early/mid-twenties and this Clinique line was a great find for me with my aging/oily/sensitive skin. I'm sadly feeling a little lost that I can no longer count on it as my sole facial moisturizer : (

Let me start by saying when I used this product I did love it feels great and works well. My main issue with this product this the sheer cost of it. I felt the price was a tad steep for the 1-1.7oz you were getting which never seemed to last very long. Also this product was never stocked well at ant of my Macy's/Dillard's. I would find myself running counter to counter just to find it or for the conultant to tell me it doent come the combintion oily to oily formula! so frusterating. I also used to "beat the system" by ordering two 1oz products instead of one 1.7oz because you could get 2oz more for a cheaper price! .....In conclusion there are equal products out there for better pricing.

A little goes a long way

I have combination skin with slightly dry cheeks. I only use a very small amount and is spreads really well across my face and neck. I previously noticed that I wake up with a slightly oily T zone on more humid days (I'm in KZN), so I applied a smaller amount of the product in that area. My skin still feels moisturized and not tight, so I would definitely recommend this.

Did not suit my over sensitive skin

I feel awful as its very seldom I write a bad review but was so disappointed in this cream. I have had lots and still do use Clinique products as they have always been fabulous but this cream when put on felt dry and my skin went red so I didnt benefit from this at all. I don't know if I can send it back so will have to get in touch with Marks. I was going to save it for a present but my friend may have the same reaction. I now wish I would have stuck to one of the ones I had already used.

Dissatisfaction Alround

I’m a keen Clinique user and this is the first of their products I feel really let me down. After moisturising the cream joins together leaving little lumps on your face. The more it is rubbed the more it comes off, so as you put your face on your pillow it gets worse. The texture is lovely, it is unscented but has a calm smell. The texture is thick and creamy.

Great moisturiser especially for the winter!

The first time I applied this moisturiser, I could feel that it was doing its work already and could feel the difference on the skin of my face. It has a lovely texture and does not contain any fragrance, so it is ideal for people like me who have allergies and sensitive skin. While it is not oily or sticky to the touch, it has a slightly sticky feel once you apply it that is similar to when you remove a face mask (just not as wet and moist, of course!). It is moisturising and a product I would buy again.

Horrid texture.

I have dry skin and chose dry/combination. The texture of this is almost chalky - that's honestly the best way I can describe it. It's thick but as soon as I put it on it's almost as if I'm rubbing powder on my face. It doesn't feel like it's nourishing my skin and I can feel it clumping in my eyebrows. It's really unpleasant and I don't wake up feeling nourished at all. 3 weeks later I've nearly finished the pot because I felt I needed a lot of the product to properly cover my face and I'd never repurchase. Horrid product - wonder if my product was a bad batch?

Smooth Operator

This fragrance free cream has a silky smooth texture. It is white in colour and absorbs quickly into the skin. It’s very fussy to how much you put on as any extra and it dries as little bits on your skin. I would not recommend this.

The best product I've ever used on my skin

I was recommended this by the Clinique counter. I can not believe how good this is! My skin is sensitive, oily/dry combo and from the moment I put this on at night I can feel it working its magic. It feels instantly soothing and each morning when I wake my skin is clear and glowing with no lines. I have the dry/dry combo version and find it perfect for night time use

I purchased this alongside the day cream having previously used redness solutions. Now change between the day cream and DD moisturiser. I have what can be dry eczema prone skin - it can also be well behaved! I never write reviews but felt compelled after seeing other limited reviews. I love this cream, I find my skin feels nourished and silky smooth after using this cream. It makes my skin feel so nice and supple. A little goes a long way and this is very smooth to apply. The tub lasted me for ages - 6 months at a guess. I wouldn't be without it now. I literally went out and repurchased the day it ran out. I haven't experienced any smell as such it's just neutral which for me suits perfectly due to my dry sensitive skin. Great product.
