- Q
How long does it protect for?
- Asked by Lupe V
- Official Answer By Clinique USThank you for asking! Clinique Superdefense City Block Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Daily Energy + Face Protector Primer will protect all day. However, if you are going swimming or sweating we recommend applying every hour. Apply in the morning after all treatment products. Wear it over makeup or apply under makeup to prime skin for makeup application.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
How long does this stay good for? Can I use the same one from last year
- Asked by Shannon
- Official Answer By Clinique USSome products include a Period After Opening (PAO) number (which shows a number followed by “M”) that indicates the number of months within which an opened product should be used or replaced. Once a product is opened and used, its integrity can be affected by such things as exposure to environmental conditions or from contact with the user’s skin. If a product is not fully used following that time frame, we suggest replacing it in order to assure product integrity.Was this answer helpful to you

- Asked by J

Clinique Superdefense City Block Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Daily Energy + Face Protector Primer is a lightweight sunscreen featuring Titanimum Dioxide, Zinc and Octinoxate to protect, plus Stop Signs™ Technology to combat a full spectrum of environmental aggressors. It creates a smooth, even base for makeup application. Clinique Pep-Start Daily UV Protector Broad Spectrum SPF 50 is an SPF fluid with mineral sunscreens.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Does this suncreen hydrate your skin?
- Asked by Soph
- Official Answer By Clinique USGreat question! Clinique Superdefense City Block Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Daily Energy + Face Protector Primer is a daily SPF protector and not a hydrator. For all day hydration, we recommend Clinique Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator as your twice daily hydrator. In the morning, apply your Clinique Superdefense City Block Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Daily Energy + Face Protector Primer after Clinique Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Is this product a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
- Asked by jay
- Official Answer By Clinique USWe are so glad you asked! Clinique Superdefense City Block Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Daily Energy + Face Protector Primer has a balanced combination of physical and chemical sunscreens to provide gentle high levels of protection for skin. Apply after prepping skin with your 3-Step Skin Care System. Follow with makeup if desired and be sure to remove at the end of the day with a makeup solvent like CliniqueTake the Day Off Cleansing Balm.Was this answer helpful to you

Compared to my Volition Prismatic Shield . . .
Reading previous reviews almost made me pass on this great sunscreen. Once Volition changed their formula, I went on a hunt to escape white cast. I tried Black Girl Sunscreen and it was too oily . . . I could never seem to get my hands on the matte version. In comes Clinique. I think having never tr...

Meh.
I am another one of those people that used the Super Cityblock SPF40 for -years- (like a decade). I LOVED the product, I would chose purchasing it over feeding my kids (JK). But for real, I would always be willing to pay 3x as much as other facial screen suns for Clinique's because I just loved it t...

Awful texture
Can't get over the tacky texture - not expected at this price point. I'll be going back to the Shiseido sunscreen - still haven't found anything better. Really disappointed.
Lasting and light
I'm pretty fair and wore this every day in Aruba for a week without having to reapply throughout the day. Great sun protection and light weight. My new go to product in the summer
The orange ring is not fun and doesn't spread well
Also the closer you get to the bottom of the tube it begins to pill
Great sun protection & goes on easy

I love this face sunscreen. I bought a 2nd one to keep in my backpack. I'm a man with dry, sensitive, and very pale skin. This goes on easy and just needs a thin layer. It doesn't run into my eyes when I sweat. It goes on so smooth and quickly dries/absorbs into the skin. It has a slight tint - so that you don't look like a ghost with thick sunscreen. It looks natural, the tint does not show - it only prevents it from looking like white paint. It stays on when I sweat - and I sweat a lot. I am very happy with this sunscreen. It is part of an overall routine - but my skin has never looked better.
The best sunscreen cream ever!

It works perfectly in Florida!!!! It is neither greasy nor sticky at all. I use this product for more than 2 years, once I started, my skin gets healthier.
