Finally, something for us older types!
All the reviews I read about this product were from "younger types". I turn 50 this summer and still have weekly breakouts and blackheads (it's hereditary). Never had to worry about wrinkles because of oily skin, but it is now becoming an issue. This correcting serum definitely helps with the breako...

Too weak for acne and fine lines
I had high hopes for this product to be my go-to serum since I have fine lines around my mouth and forehead, some mild acne scarring and discoloration from acne, and the occasional hormonal flare-up on my face. The sample I received was more than enough to get me through a few weeks, even with using...

I have rosacea. I thought I was having flairups of that, only to find out its acne. I'll be 65. I turned to clinique as I always do. So my skin is super sensitive and I was expecting a burn or itching but was pleasantly surprised to find absolutely no reaction. None ! It goes on like a thin layer of lotion. I had no reactions. I have also increased it to twice a day because this works better than my rosacea meds. Love it. Please don't ever stop making it.

I have been using Clinique products since I was 17 and I am now 50. This product is amazing!!! It has cleared up my pre-menopausal acne without irritation and softened my fine lines. I have never left a review for any product before, but I felt that I had to regarding this one. Please do not stop making this product!
Great for oily acne prone skin

I have used this since March and can honestly tell a difference in my skin the nights I use this serum. I don't have any fine lines yet but it does a great job of cleaning out your pores. The mornings after using this my large pores are noticeably smaller and my skin looks plump. It isnt the best for clearing an active break out though. It doesn't make it worse but it isn't going to shorten the life span of an active break out. It works better on blackheads and whiteheads. I over all really like this serum and bought a second bottle!
Perfect for my daughter

I use it by the corners of my mouth where I break out occasionally and have wrinkles.. It is the perfect solution.

I'm passionate about preventing aging, but don't have any big signs of aging.
