Fresh Pressed Daily Booster with Pure Vitamin C 10% Serum

Clinique

Sold Out

SOLD OUT

This item is no longer available. Browse our recommendations for something similar.

Details & care

What it is: A unique de-aging booster that harnesses the full power of pure, fresh vitamin C at Clinique's highest concentration to brighten, even and retexturize skin.

What it does: This booster works as a daily treatment to help visibly rejuvenate skin from the outside, giving your de-aging a simple and seamless reinvigoration. From the first application, it helps brighten skin. Over time it helps reduce the appearance of age spots and the look of line and wrinkles. Pure vitamin C naturally degrades when exposed to oxygen, so it's most powerful when fresh. This stay-fresh packaging isolates the pure vitamin C until activation so it maintains its freshness and full power for maximum results.

How to use: Leave the cap on and remove foil. Firmly press the inner bulb twice to release the vitamin C powder into the soothing emulsion. Shake for 15 seconds and before each use. Remove the cap. Mix two drops with your moisturizer morning and night to power up your regular routine. Avoid the eye area. For full potency, use within seven days then discard. It retains its full power for seven days but it may darken due to normal vitamin C oxidation.

- 1.16 oz. size includes 4 bottles at 0.29 oz. each
- 100% fragrance-free
- Allergy tested

In stores now: Visit the Clinique counter at your local Nordstrom for a free 5-day supply of your perfect moisturizer.

Adds a definite glow!

Initially, I wasn't very happy with this product because it states the "full potency" only lasts 7 days, but that you can continue using it (with limited potency) up to 10 days. The instructions say to squirt two drops into your palm and mix with your moisturizer. Well, after trying this method with my first container, I discovered I had way too much left over after 10 days, making the purchase a waste of money. I also didn't like having to figure out how much moisturizer to blob into my palm to mix with the C Booster, again sometimes wasting spendy moisturizer. So I decided to try my OWN method with the next container... I first apply my serum of choice (I like Laser Focus Serum), waiting a few minutes. Then I squirt one strong push of the C Booster "bulb" into my palm. It squirts out a dollop a bit smaller than a quarter (it's a fairly runny product). I spread it "as is" around my entire face, avoiding the eye area, and let it soak in on top of my serum. After waiting about 5 more minutes, I apply my moisturizer on top. This method works great for me! I'm not wasting any moisturizer. And I have exactly enough of the C Booster to last me 10 full days! No waste! I can definitely tell the difference in "glow" from using this product. Immediately. And after using a container for 10 days, my skin is definitely healthier looking. Due to the cost, I probably will only use the C Booster for 10 days once a month. But if I notice sun spots and dullness setting back in, I'll use it more frequently for sure.

Small amount but good product

I liked this serum and thought it did brighten my skin, but was surprised by how little was actually in the container...it only lasted 5-6 days before it was empty. Kind of expensive for less than a weeks worth

A must try product!

I have fallen in love with this product! It has given me a beautiful glow and everyone is asking me what I am doing to my skin. It has made my skin brighter, smoother, and more hydrated and supple. My makeup goes on so nicely now. I will never give this product up! I have recommended it to my mom, friends, and colleagues! I have tried many vitamin C serums and most are way too stimulating but, Clinique has truly outdone themselves this time.

Caused Adult Acne

Made my face break out with acne; I am fifty eight & never had pimples even as a teenager. Used per the instructions; didn't wing it. Disappointed. I've never experienced such a reaction from a beauty product.

Felt tingly

Unsure about 5 stars - started out glowingly. Immediate glow, felt like my skin was literally breathing, but after a few days my skin started to break out a bit. May return to give it another try, but I'm so sure my skin reacted to it.

Does what it promises

Good product, visibility brightens skin tone after using for two days. Since the product spoils quickly, I have been keeping it in the fridge when not in use. I probably would not use this a week before a special occasion due to the amount of product per module.

Great product, if your skin can handle it

I'm so sad this didn't work out for me. It really is amazingly effective at brightening skin tone, at least for me. I saw a difference within the first few days. Since you could just add it to your moisturizer, so it was really easy too. Despite how expensive it is, I was all set to add it into my daily skincare regimen. About three weeks in, I started noticing an unusual amount of pimples on the lower half of my face that just wouldn't go away. And as soon as they did, more popped up in their place. I didn't immediately connect it to this; I'm prone to hormonal breakouts usually but sometimes get breakouts randomly too. After a few more baffling weeks of continuous zits showing no sign of going away, I finally had an epiphany and realized this might be the cause. Sure enough, a week after I stopped using this but continued all my other usual skincare, the pimples had calmed way down. Two weeks later, they disappeared completely (though I have some nice acne scars now in their wake, so thanks for that, Clinique). I've rarely had issues with skincare making me breakout in the past; usually my skin is just very sensitive to ingredients and feels all burn-y and red, worst case scenario. That didn't happen with this, luckily, but continuous breakouts aren't really a great outcome either. If your skin can handle it, this is a great product, probably four stars at least.

Brighter, Clearer, More Even Complexion

I’ve really gotten into skincare over the years as a form of self care and almost a hobby/interest. At first I tried everything under the sun, but for a couple of years now I’ve settled into a routine based around vitamin C (Fresh Pressed) and lactic acid (Good Genes) in the AM and retinol in the PM. I’ve tried countless vitamin C serums and creams but by far I’ve liked the results from this the most. It is l-ascorbic acid, which is the most tested and effective form of vitamin C for skincare and because we activate it, I find it has a better shelf life and thus is more consistently effective than most other products. - I thoroughly activate the formula by crushing ALL that crunchy l-ascorbic acid into the serum. It takes a minute. I’ve bought this on sale, not used it for months (forgotten somewhere) and noticed no difference in color or efficacy once activated—a huge plus for a vitamin C. - I shake the bottle before each use. - I’ve found one solid press of the orange button for each use gets 7-10 uses per bottle. - APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE SKIN. I don’t use this as a booster. I have normal skin that isn’t particularly reactive. Applying this immediately to my skin after cleansing I can get it on my face, neck, décolletage, and a tiny bit for the back of my hands. I am not a tiny person. I follow this with Sunday Riley Good Genes. Allow time to absorb, then apply moisturizer. This isn’t the cheapest product out there but I consider the increased effectiveness compared with cheaper products, some of which are totally ineffective when tested, coupled with the practicality of the activation system which ensures prolonged efficacy, together make up for the higher price in a product that’s a cornerstone in my skincare regimen. When I started using this every day for about 4-6 weeks, I was amazed at how much clearer and more even my skin tone was. I hadn’t even realized it was that uneven before until I saw the difference! I used to wear makeup if I was going out but it got my skin to a place wear foundation really just detracted from my natural glow. People often thought I was wearing makeup if I just put on mascara and some Hourglass brow fiber gel. You don’t need an expensive moisturizer. Your money should be invested closer to your skin with the active ingredients in your serum(s). I have dry skin and I love a moisturizer. I’ve tried more moisturizers than anything else, but while I’ve found what suits seems to be very individual, and changes depending on season, food, etc. (learn your skin and what to give it just like you learn what food your body wants). But there is not a direct correlation with price and how good a moisturizer is. So try the cheap ones (with good ingredients) and see if they work for you because if they do, all the better! Why the heck not. Don’t let that keep you from a great serum like this.

Wonderful Vitamin C Serum

I have been using this product since 2017 and love it--it makes my skin brighter and younger looking--I use it before any other serums and moisturizers, putting a few drops directly on my face and neck. I am 62 but people often think I am in my 40s.
