We Have Been Loving Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20 by Clinique. Highly Recommended by Whom You Know.

We on the Whom You Know panel have been using this fabulous product for 2 months now and it has yielded remarkable results. We try many, many creams and this is one of our favorites. An update from our fresh-faced panel:

"This moisturizer has been a part of my daily morning skincare ritualfor the last month and I can't be more happy with it. Through the years, I've had a slow onslaught of dark spots and freckles crop up on my face despite the diligent use of sunscreen. Turns out what I needed was this moisturizer and its combination of skin clarifier, UV-rays protector and all-day hydration. I love a product that has multi-purpose functions and that's what Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20 has. I feel better being out in the elements when I have this product on!"

"Clinique, Even Better never seems to disappoint me as other things do in life. The skin tone correcting moisturizer SPF-20 goes on smoothly, with no heavy overlying residue some moisturizers leave one feeling. Even Better has a light fragrance that complements the texture. Yes, I enjoy and continue to use Even Better with delight!"

"I couldn’t be happier about the effects of the NEW Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer. After years of damaging my skin with acne treatments that cleared up my acne but left discoloration around my nose and chin, I’ve finally found a way reverse the effects. Effects were not immediate, but I’m seeing definite improvement after a few weeks. I’m hooked!"

"After using Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20 for around a month, I am pleased to say……my skin does get EVEN BETTER! It really has improved the evenness in my complexion and has helped to decrease skin discolorations on my face. SPF 20 is important, even in winter, those rays are still very harmful, and everyone should try this cream. It even prevents hyper pigmentation from occurring in the future."

ERASE PAST DAMAGE!

Launching October 2009

Wish those dark spots on your skin would just disappear? Studies show that you’re not alone – 25% of women in the U.S. suffer from uneven skin tone or hyperpigmentation. Skin discolouration can be caused by numerous culprits including acne scarring, age spots, hormonal changes and lack of moisture, however UV damage is the number one cause.

Extensive research proves that harmful UVA and UVB rays are a leading contributor to dark and uneven skin areas and when unprotected against UV exposure, skin is more susceptible to the formation of these unwanted skin discolourations. Introducing NEW Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20, a multi-targeted, daily hydrating cream with patented and patent-pending ingredients to help treat and protect skin from current and future discolouration caused by hyperpigmentation among all ethnicities. Building on the success of the Even Better franchise, Clinique is taking the breakthrough hyperpigmentation technology which successfully addresses visible dark spots and coupling it with advanced photostable, broad spectrum 3:1 UVB/UVA protection and moisturization benefits.

A MULTI-TARGETED APPROACH

Clinique’s multi-targeted formula helps provide luminosity and increase brightness. The ultra-hydrating moisturizer battles the multiple causes of skin discolourations by immediately helping to brighten skin and restore skin to a more uniform tone overtime. By addressing dark spots, Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20 helps to:
Prevent and reduce the appearance of excess pigment in skin.
Deter the surfacing of new spots.
Break up and scatter existing dark spots into less visible particles at the skin’s surface leaving skin more even toned.
Assist in whisking away and removing melanin “dust” through exfoliation.
Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20 also provides new technology with targeted treatment to help strengthen the skin barrier and protect against the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays. When a skin’s barrier is weakened, environmental assaults can more easily irritate and lead to excess melanin production. Strengthening the skin’s barrier against irritants helps to prevent the development of future discolourations. As a weakened skin barrier and sun exposure are both major causes of hyperpigmentation, this luxurious yet powerful moisturizer:
Provides photostable, 3:1 broad spectrum UVB/UVA protection to help prevent the formation of future dark spots.
Repairs, builds and strengthens skin’s barrier to better resist against external irritants that can lead to the development of dark spots.
Delivers instant hydration and all-day moisturization.


EVEN BETTER INGREDIENTS

A cocktail of powerful ingredients helps contribute to the reduction of discolouration caused by hyperpigmentation.
Ellagic Acid and Vitamin C (Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate/Ascorbyl Glucoside) help to address the appearance of dark spots.
Pyrus Malus (Apple) Extract is unique to this moisturizer in the Even Better franchise, and helps calm and soothe irritated skin.
Advanced Yeast Blend, a concentrated, patent-pending blend provides effective brightening results by breaking up existing dark spots into microparticles and making them less visible on the skin.
Curcuma Longa Turmeric Root Extract is a powerful antioxidant and anti-irritant helps fend against environmental assaults that can off set excess melanin production.
Sucrose/Trehalose help attract and maintain moisture levels in the skin.
A blend of Lineolic Acid/Cholesterol/Wheat/Olive Extract helps rebuild the skin’s barrier and deliver intense moisturization so the skin is protected against external irritants.
And a blend of broad spectrum sunscreens including UVA absorber Avobenzone, UVB absorber Octisalate as well as Octocrylene help protect skin against UV exposure and prevent future formation of dark spots and discolouration.

DETAILS, DETAILS…
While Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20 has powerful results against discolourations caused by hyperpigmentation, results are seen even faster when coupling with Even Better Skin Tone Corrector, an innovative layerable serum designed to help undo the visible evidence of discolourations caused by hyperpigmentation and result in clarity and overall evenness of skin tone. Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20 is the perfect partner to the corrector. When the moisturizer was used once daily coupled with a twice daily use of the corrector, multiple ethnicities showed skin’s clarity to immediately improve by more than 75% and moisturization by more than 69%. Skin is clearer, dark spots lighter.

Appropriate for skin types 1, 2 and 3, apply once daily to face following the appropriate 3-Step Skin Care regimen and Even Better Skin Tone Corrector. Spread evenly over the entire face, avoiding the immediate eye area. Complete a finished look with Even Better Makeup SPF 15, a liquid foundation available in 20 shades.

"Following a summer spent outdoors under the sun without adequate SPF protection on several occasions, I've sprouted a noticeable amount of dark sports on my face and arms. It's with much relief that Clinique's Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20 is here to the rescue. This new moisturizer helps repair, build and strengthen the skin's barrier after it's been weakened by UVA and UVB exposure as well as other environmental factors. This product gradually lessened the dark spots I have, while imparting a bright and luminous glow. The moisturizing ingredients have just the right amount of hydration, thus soothing and calming the skin, getting right to work after the UV rays have done their damage & helping to prevent future formation of further dark spots and hyperpigmentation. For faster results, it's recommended to use the Even Better Skin Tone Corrector (a layerable serum that's also a part of the Even Better line) at the same time. Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20 comes out in October 2009, look for it at the Clinique counter!"
