Clinique's Damage Eraser: Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector.

Introducing the latest weapon against dark spots, hyperpigmentation and uneven skintone. Meet Clinique's Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector.

To date, I have not used a more effective over-the-counter remedy than this to aid in my ongoing battle with hyperpigmentation. My molted darkened areas are becoming broken apart and age spots are getting lighter and lighter - and I have only been using this new wonder for about one month.

Let's take a quick look at the ingredients and why this is working so well.

You see, Clinique firmly believes that a custom-fit, multi-pronged approach is the best way to achieve brighter, more even-toned and radiant skin.  Clinique's multi-prong approach combats facial discoloration at various levels with core ingredients that help to prevent the appearance of new dark spots while visibly breaking apart existing pigmentation. Like I mentioned, I am actually seeing my molted, or clustered brown areas start to break apart. Clinique calls this "melanin dust" that will gently continue to exfoliate away.

Clinique has developed a patent-pending CL-302 complex, that features a new plant derived technology that is clinically proven to improve the evenness of skin tone, radiance and clarity. And that is what we are all looking for, aren't we? I know I am.

  • Glucosamine
  • Salicylic Acid
  • Ascorbyl Glucoside
  • Blackout Yeast Extract

I have been using this serum-like corrector twice a day. I use

Give Brows an Instant Lift with Clinique.

Eyebrows are such an important part of your face. They not only frame the eyes, they really frame the entire face. Look at a good, cared for brow versus a brow that has never been shaped at all. The brow that is cared for always looks better, obviously, but having a cared for brow area gives a more youthful look to the face. Cliniques' latest product can take your brows to the next level. By using Instant Lift for Brows, in short, you will create a more youthful, wide-eyed appearance that compliments and completes your look.

This brow pencil is unique. It is double-sided, for some double duty beauty, which I love. On one side, there is a brow filling pencil, in a choice of shades (Soft Blonde, Soft Brown or Deep Brown) while on the other end is a brow bone highlighter, in a universal, warm pink champagne shade.

To use, you first fill in the brow with the brow filler. This is a

My New Favorite Night Cream: Clinique Youth Surge Night Moisturizer.

As you probably can imagine, I am constantly testing new creams, both day and night. Some of them only get a few tries, some get a few weeks, and then some stay in my rotation and garner favorite status. This new moisturizer from Clinique is one of the latter. It is the newest in my night cream favorites.

Clinique Youth Surge Night Age Decelerating Night Moisturizer is the latest in the Youth Surge category from Clinique. Made specifically for night time use, this cream nourishes and repairs as it keeps my skin hydrated and looking alive when I wake up, no matter how much, or how little, I sleep.

This new Clinique wonder is based on it's Sirtuin technology. This technology that Clinique has created, puts to use some pretty heavy duty youth-extending ingredients, or agents as they call them, to fortify the skin at night. On top of the ingredients, this cream is packed with natural collagen. It gently, over the night, plumps skin to make lines and wrinkles fill in and much diminished in appearance.

I slather on this cream, which a bit on the thicker side, as a last step to my, what seems like never-ending, night time skin routine. I use about the size of a quarter which quickly sinks into both my face and neck.

Check out this new Youth Surge Night Moisturizer from Clinique online or the next time you are near your favorite Clinique counter. The jar is moderately affordable at $48.50, and I am sure you will be happy with the results.
