Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum comes in a beautiful sleek silver container topped with a most efficient pump and protected with a clear plastic lid. The serum itself was more like a liquid moisturiser in appearance, being creamy and faintly apricot in colour. Fragrance is delicious, clean, almost mesmerising.
A tiny morsel from the pump goes a long way, the serum soaks quickly into the skin and I did feel it was "nourishing" with no adverse reaction at all. Certainly the hydrated feel remained for a few hours.
I’ve been using this product for a while now and I must admit I am impressed with a few things this one has to offer, It’s packaging is smart, it’s sleek, looks tidy and with its pump action , only a small amount is dispensed, so no chance of spilling it, The product itself, is fast absorbing, lightweight and with very low fragrance, it’s easy to apply takes a few moments and is non greasy, Wearing it,’it’s also lightweight, you hardly know it’s there. In terms of doing what it says it should, dryness has improved that was my biggest area of concern, my face seems more hydrated in the morning, and there is no tightness, small lines around my eyes have been reduced but this has only been after sometime of using the product and not immediate. The cost however is high and although it has a lifespan of 12 months of opening, you’ll use it within 4-6 months if constantly applied, but it is expensive upfront. Suitable for sensitive skin.
Tips: Apply sparingly, you don’t need a lot.
