Horrible formula
One side of my face completely broke out with small bumps. I don't know what's in this formula but I have more darkness and now it looks like I have a huge rash... I'm too scared to use my dark spot corrector which I have always used... please remove off selves

Reasonable alternative to Smart Custom Moisturiser
I was gutted when Clinique discontinued the Smart Custom moisturiser. Having not been impressed with the reviews and price for the Smart Clinical Repair moisturiser, I decided to give this one a try. I use it as part of 3 step and with the Smart Clinical Repair serum. It sinks into my skin nicely, feels very moisturising but not heavy and my skin looks brighter / healthier. It's been perfect under make up and alone. I do hope Clinique won't go and discontinue this one too!

I tried this product as a nighttime moisturizer. It dried to a powdery finish that was not absorbed by my skin. Since it is a brightening cream, I now apply it only on the dark spots on my face.

Smooth and brighter skin
I love this moisturizer so I was surprised when I happened to see it has so many negative reviews. I know what people mean about the "flaking" but to me that is the product working at removing dead skin. I do use this as a night cream though and not under makeup. I also have dry skin so I love the thick texture of this product. I am a faithful user and hope it is here to stay!

Love it!
I don't normally write reviews but since this seems to be a love or hate product, I thought I'd come down on the "love it" side! Everyone's skin reacts differently to products, but for me, combined with the rest of the Even Better line, this has worked wonders. And bonus, it's an excellent moisturizer! If you like the Even Better skin care products, I think this is worth trying. It's really helped redness, brown spots, and hyperpigmentation. It absorbs well and feels silky.

My skin feels better
I di have freckles and pigmentation therefore did try to start using this product because it says for skin brightening and one of the ingredients is salicylic acid. So far it makes my skin feel better and hopefully the results will improve more for the next few weeks..
