nice product
I have dry skin and this works great as a protective layer under my makeup. It's light and non-greasy. I honestly do not understand all the negative reviews because I love it!

Bring back the previous City Block!
Gave it a try, but didn’t like the texture. Found that it made my skin feel greasy. Returned.

Not an sufficient alternative
I have used Clinique’s Super City Block w/SPF 40 for many, many years. When I found out this product was being discontinued, I was bummed. Excited to try this new, “improved” formulation, I was shocked to find that the ingredients were significantly decreased when comparing the two products side by side. I’m not a chemist, but how can Clinique advertise this product as being a ‘better’ SPF with significantly less ingredients from its predecessor; not to mention the texture and consistency is not as smooth, either. This product feels a little thicker and more cake-like. Not a fan.

best sunscreen
City block goes on a little heavy, but it really holds up swimming. It also does not burn your eyes while swimming.
