Not for Me!
No, I don't recommend this
Smells and feels like sunscreen. Thick greasy texture, I personally would not wear this under makeup. I will only use this product when I am on holiday ie high sun exposure. I would not buy it again as I am looking for a lighter high factor spf for my face. I do have oily skin it might feel better on a different skin type.
Helpful?
Not for me. Too rich and claggy.
My optician told me that I needed a sunscreen so I tried Clinique. I'm in my 60s and have a dry skin but it was too rich for me.

I have always had a problem with sunblock on my face as it's been too oily...causing my skin to break out in spots. This one is the only one I have tried that doesn't have that effect. It does smell like sunblock..I don't think there's any way around that..but its not too strong a smell. Just an initial scent.

Best SPF I've found
Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Not often moved to write a review but this is definitely the best SPF I've found. I've used many over the years, usually finding they make my eyes water, or are chalky or smell awful. This clinque one is the best - it soaks in over my serum, no smell, no chalkiness. I recently went to the Isle of Wight festival - sat in hot sun, couldn't move to get out of it as packed in in front of the main stage. My face was completely unscathed due to the clinque superdefense. I have quite red cheeks and freckles hence protecting them from the sun. Best SPF EVER!

Not good for oily skin

Just not a good replacement for the sheer tint city block 40 - which was light and non greasy - this feels heavy and left my skin too shiny all day (I have oily skin)

I read all the negative reviews but decided to try it anyway, because I really wanted a good, high-spf Clinique product. It works so beautifully for me! It isn't gloppy or grainy for me, and feels wonderful on my skin, smooth and even. Regarding the smell, I am really sensitive to scents and really dislike even things like hand soaps if I don't care for the smell. I find this scent so light I barely notice it on application, and not at all after. I'm sorry it doesn't work for everyone, but I think it's definitely worth a try!

Not a nice formula at all

I used the Clinique SuperCity Block SPF 40 on my face for years but when it was discontinued I got this one SPF 50 in the orange tube . It's not a nice consistency at all , it's sticky , foundation "pills " looks and feels greasy and shiny on skin . I feel I wasted my money on it and ended up using the remaining product on body to use it up. One small positive it didn't actually irritate my skin . I've had to buy the other Clinique SPF in factor 25 , I'm fair skinned and really wanted a higher SPF

I love this product! It offers protection with a hint of tint, in a fast absorbing formula that sits seamlessly under my makeup. If you're looking for a new SPF for the sunnier weather, this is the one for you.

Absolutely in love with Clinique's Superdefense City Block SPF! This product has become a staple in my daily makeup routine. The SPF protection is a game-changer! Living in a city with all the harmful pollution, having that added defense against pollution and harmful UV rays gives me peace of mind throughout the day. Plus, the lightweight formula feels incredibly comfortable on my skin and makes my makeup look super glowy, which is a huge bonus. Love it and will purchase again and again.

Can't be without this product!

I've been using City Block for years and every summer I come back to it without fail. I have fair, sensitive skin which burns easily so it's important to me to wear a high SPF every day and I completely trust this product to protect me! I find it super comfortable both alone or under make-up - it makes my skin look glowy but doesn't feel sticky or heavy and it's never irritated my skin, like other high factor SPFs that I've tried.

I' m usually a little reluctant to apply spf everyday as most of the products i' ve tried make me break out but this one is a gem!! I' ve been using it everyday for the past 4 months and it' s never made me break out! Also, the texture is super lightweight and not sticky which is a big plus! love it :)

Using City Block SPF has been a game-changer for me. It's lightweight, provides essential SPF protection, and primes my skin beautifully for makeup. The quick-absorbing, hydrating formula keeps my skin moisturized without feeling heavy, and its non-comedogenic nature gives me peace of mind. Applying it each morning is effortless, and I love knowing it defends my skin from UV rays while prepping it for the day ahead. It's become a skincare staple I can't do without. Highly recommend!
