It’s a Jungle Out There Clinique’s City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25 Highly Recommended by Whom You Know

We love Clinique at Whom You Know, and their products always have high standards of quality. In our quest for the best SPFs for you, we found City Block, and we feel this is one of the best, especially for those of us in the Manhattan Jungle! We love the light texture, the formula and the ultimate in protection that City Block provides. Simply apply this before your makeup, and you will be covered! What could be more important than protecting your face from harmful rays?

THE GOODS Clinique’s City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25, a lightweight, subtly tinted, oil-free addition to the City Block family is even easier to layer and more sheer on skin than ever before. Essential to the formula are moisture wicking fibers and a specific extract sourced from algae that help reduce excess oil on skin’s surface. These moisture wicking fibers help repel perspiration and help makeup stay-put. This advanced, 100% physical (non-chemical) formula is perfect for those customers who cannot tolerate daily use of chemical sunscreens (even those with the most sensitive skin) while at the same time providing powerful antioxidants and anti-irritants that Clinique’s City Block line is known for. With City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25 there is simply no excuse not to wear a daily sunscreen!

THE FINER POINTS City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25 contains a patented technology that helps “clean up” damage from daily stress and the assaults from environmental pollutants. Additionally, antioxidants available through new liposome technology, provide protection against daily assaults of environmental pollutants and leaves skin feeling smooth and fresh with a natural matte finish. This formula works beautifully as an invisible primer to help makeup wear better while preparing skin for subsequent makeup applications.

BEHIND THE SCENES Zinc Oxide - A physical sunscreen offering a broad range of protection in the UVA spectrum.

Titanium Dioxide - Also a physical sunscreen, deflects or absorbs UV rays before they hit the skin.

Vitamin E and Vitamin C - A blend of powerful antioxidants that provides the first line of defense from oxidative stress and free radical damage caused by environmental aggressors.

Phytantriol – This ingredient helps keep skin’s surface moisture in balance when it’s exposed to changes in temperature and humidity. By laying down an invisible barrier on skin’s surface, it helps keep skin moist in dry conditions and conversely prevents skin from absorbing too much surface hydration, in hot and humid conditions.

Nylon 6/Nylon 12 – Because too much perspiration on skin can allow bacteria to grow (leaving skin with a heat rash or clogged pores) these porous fibers wick away moisture so it can quickly and easily evaporate into the air resulting in balanced surface hydration on skin.

Laminaria Saccharina Extract – This material sourced from algae helps reduce excess oil production that occurs when skin is exposed to high temperatures.

Sunflower Seedcake, Barley Extract and Cucumber Fruit Extract – This combination of natural ingredients maintain and strengthen the barrier properties of the skin. Sunflower Seedcake contains a high level of free fatty acids, a natural component of the skin.

DETAILS, DETAILS… Use City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25 each morning as the last step in a facial treatment prior to any makeup application. Removal with a makeup remover is strongly suggested.

Non-acnegenic. Oil-free. Suitable for all skin types. Ophthalmologist tested. Dermatologist tested. Allergy Tested. 100% Fragrance Free.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
