About this product

Clinique City Block™ Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector Broad Spectrum SPF 25 is a light everyday sunscreen that happens to double as a primer. There are no chemical sunscreens in it, which is why Clinique lists it as suitable for sensitive skin and for use around the eye area.

SPF Broad spectrum SPF 25, UVA/UVB
Texture Lightweight, sheer, oil-free
Filters Formulated without chemical sunscreens
Eye area Listed as appropriate for the eye area
Free from Parabens

What it actually does

  • Daily broad-spectrum cover. Clinique describes it as a lightweight daily sunscreen giving the face broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection in a sheer formula.
  • Doubles as a makeup base. Wear it by itself, or let it act as a primer sitting underneath your foundation.
  • Manages shine. Being oil-free, it helps soak up surplus oil and whisks perspiration away — useful in Egypt's heat.
  • No chemical sunscreens. Because the brand leaves chemical filters out, the formula is listed as suitable for sensitive skin and safe to take right up to the eye area.
  • Paraben-free. Clinique lists the formula as made with no parabens.

How to use

  1. Apply to clean skin, once you have finished your 3-Step routine.
  2. With your fingertips, smooth it evenly across the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin, then blend out.
  3. Add foundation afterwards if you want to.
  4. At the end of the day, take it off with your preferred Clinique makeup remover.

Is it right for you?

Yes, if…

  • Your skin is sensitive and reacts to chemical filters
  • You get shiny or sweaty through the day
  • You want an SPF that can sit under makeup as a primer
  • You need something you can take close to the eye area

Think twice if…

  • You want the highest SPF available — this is SPF 25
  • You prefer a dewy, hydrating sunscreen finish; this one is oil-free
  • You want tinted coverage rather than a sheer layer

Questions

Can I use it around my eyes?

Clinique lists it as appropriate for the eye area, which it attributes to the formula containing no chemical sunscreens.

Will it work as a makeup primer?

Yes — the brand positions it as wearable on its own or as a primer beneath makeup, and the oil-free base helps with surplus oil and perspiration.

How do I remove it?

With your usual Clinique makeup remover, per the brand's own instructions.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Clinique states that sensitive skins can use it, and attributes that to the absence of chemical sunscreen filters. The formula also carries no parabens.
