I've been using Clinique skincare for over 2 years, and it's been good for me since natural oil ingredients don't agree with my skin. Among the reviews, some said the product feels heavy or watery, and that when applied, the face becomes oily and feels like it has a film over it. So I cleansed my skin with a cleansing water and applied it right away. The texture is similar to the Clarins sunscreen I used before. The ingredients are better than Clarins, which I believe is a chemical sunscreen, while this one is a mineral sunscreen, so I feel more assured. Those who have used the Clarins sunscreen or Shiseido Anessa sunscreen will find the feel similar. However, it's less oily when applied, and since it's a mineral sunscreen, it doesn't sink into the skin, so it has a more lightweight feel. The reviews mentioned that it washes off easily in water, so it may not be suitable for water activities. But since my outdoor activities are just walking the dog, it worked fine for me. And since I use cleansing water instead of oil cleansers, the easy washability is actually preferable for me. I've been using it throughout this summer and into the fall, and fortunately, I haven't experienced any skin issues. In fact, the feel has improved as we've moved into the fall season. Lately, I've been applying it right after my Etude House Soonjung Gel. The sunscreen itself has enough moisture, so I don't need to apply a separate lotion or moisturizer.
ConsSince my skin is quite sensitive, I'm not the type to wear a lot of makeup. Maybe 3-4 times a month, I'll just apply foundation on top of sunscreen or dust on some powder over the sunscreen. With this sunscreen having some oiliness and a slightly greasy feel, I think it would be burdensome for oily skin types to layer a lot of makeup on top of it. The sunscreen itself already has a somewhat heavy, emollient texture, so adding foundation or powder on top might feel too much for my sensitive, oily skin.
TipWhen I buy sunscreen, I always prefer to get one with a tinted version. Without any color, it's hard for me to tell if the cleansing was effective. I can check if it's been properly removed by seeing any residue come off. So this time, instead of the clear version, I opted for the tinted one. The tinted formula allows me to visually confirm that the sunscreen has been properly cleansed off.
