Amazing!
I use the light/mdeium shade, and in MAC I'm NC37-NC40 and it matches perfectly. You can use it alone or under foundation for amazing results. I'm usually not a fan of anything Clinique, but I give credit where its due, and they did and AMAZING job with this one. This CC cream hydrates the skin very well and really works at covering redness and sallow looking skin.. I will continue to use and recommend to all my friends.. Good Job Clinique!!!

There is no cream in this Cream
This is like applying a mud pack. It is thick and hard to apply. It is drying. I tried it first on dry skin. Then I applied a moisturizer first, it just smeared around. Next I tried it with a moist face and a little water, awful. It would work well for an oily youngster going through basic training at Camp Lejune. This stuff is thicker than the stage makeup of old days. And then, once dry, it is a trial to get it off. I returned it, not comparable to dr jardt's BB cream, which is creamy but not available for my coloring.

Mature skin
I'm 61 and concerns are wrinkles and blotchiness. This stuff is superb for these concerns and more. It feels "tight" going on but in ten minutes my skin feels relaxed and smooth. The surprise was looking in the mirror and seeing my skin texture and color completely changed, the spots and pores not so prominent, and the redness gone. It does not settle into wrinkles and infact despite covering so well it is quite sheer. I went for the light medium but getting the light to mix as the color is a bit too dark. I've stopped wearing foundation which is fantastic. Was looking for a sheer foundation appropriate for someone my age and finally found it.

Timesaver that works
I got a small sample of the recommended Light color to try before I buy. Love it, and will buy in future. Saves so much time as the moisturizer, sunscreen, and color correcting are all in one. Using when short on time, for now.
I am puzzled by a previous commenter who said she was excited to try the "full coverage" CC cream, though. I don't think this product is full coverage. The Clinique rep specifically made a point to tell me that it is basically a "tinted moisturizer," and not to expect full coverage. That is fine by me because what I like is that it neutralizes any reddish areas. I apply with a foundation brush. Add a little blush & lipstick or gloss, and ready to run out quickly.

YOUR SKIN WILL LOOK INCREDIBLE!!!!
I am a fan of Clinique, have been for almost 40 years and have younger looking skin because of it:). They outdid themselves with this unbelievable CC cream. It covers like a foundation and looks great either applied with fingers or a foundation brush. I was a fan of the old formula of Repairwear foundation and this reminds me of it only better. Lighter in texture but covers just about anything and everything. Wow, this stuff is super!!!

Too thick
This might be a good cc for others but, not for me. I didn't expect it to be so thick and hard to blend. Also, after buying Clinque foundations and being a light to very light I thought this would be the same as their foundation colors or at least close. The very light is so white it is like putting on a thick unblendable pasty mask. This is a miss for me from Clinique.
