Product Reviews

Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm

A balm-to-oil makeup remover that gently and effectively removes makeup. "It leaves no greasy or dry feeling, making it suitable for all skin types." It's my favorite makeup remover — non-irritating even for sensitive eyes, and a 125 ml jar lasts a long time.

Moisture Surge™ Intense 72-Hour Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator

A gel-textured moisturizer with hyaluronic acid and aloe vera extract. My review was negative: "it felt heavy and greasy on my skin" and didn't absorb fully.

Superdefense SPF25 Fatigue Multi-Correcting Cream

A cream-textured moisturizer with SPF 25, available in formulas tailored by skin type. I used it on winter days, but I'd always recommend layering an additional sunscreen on top.

Dramatically Different™ Hydrating Jelly

A water-based gel moisturizer for all skin types. Recommended as the final step of the brand's 3-step skincare routine, and can be combined with active concentrate cartridges for a personalized treatment.

Superdefense CC Cream SPF 30

A color-correcting cream with SPF 30. In my opinion, "one of the best CC creams I've used" — easy to blend and gives a natural finish.

Where to Find It

Clinique products are available in Hungary at brand boutiques, perfumeries, and online retailers (Clinique.hu, Douglas, Marionnaud, Notino). It's worth waiting for sales events, when 20–30% discounts are available.
