Not worth buying

No, I don't recommend this

I decided to treat myself to this for my birthday. I buy quite a few Clinique products and have always been happy with them. This is the worst product I have ever bought off them and a total waste of money. I found it to be greasy and it made absolutely no difference to my skin. It made the skin round my mouth feels sore. I am really disappointed.

Handy little item

I was always afraid to start using retinoids but this makes it easier to transition into that world and specifically target areas as a preventative measure. I also travel a lot so I love the handy size and format. Highly recommend!

This is a revolution in skincare, super easy to use and absorbs into the skin really nicely. So great for getting targeted results in this balm format compared to a serum.

The retinoid balm has a lightweight texture and glides onto the skin. My skin felt really smooth and hydrated after using it and was left with a glow. It does not have a scent which I prefer for my skincare products.

After using Clinique Retinoid Balm my skin feels and looks extremely smooth. It does not leave sticky feeling on your skin and it is so easy to use. I am always on a look for products for wrinkles and I can say this is a great find! Major plus is that it is super easy to bring with you anywhere!
