Concentrated Retinoid Sticks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Clinique Releases Smart Clinical Repair AM/PM Retinoid Balm

— July 9, 2024 — Fashion
Clinique unveiled the Smart Clinical Repair AM/PM Retinoid Balm. This concentrated retinoid balm is designed to "visibly soften and plump fine, dry lines immediately, while also targeting deeper lines over time."

Key features of this advanced formulation include its exclusion of "parabens, phthalates, and sulfates (SLS & SLES), and its content of less than one percent synthetic fragrance." The product is also gluten-free, ensuring suitability for a wide range of skin types and preferences.

What sets the Smart Clinical Repair AM/PM Retinoid Balm apart is its gentle formulation, allowing it to be used both morning and night. This skin-smoothing balm provides "immediate plumping effects on fine, dry lines, and with consistent use, it visibly corrects more stubborn lines, including forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, vertical lines around the lips, and smile lines." In addition to this, the product's stick form allows for easy, on-the-go reapplication.
