Since
I discovered a few dark spots to the right of my right eye recently that were
not there a few months ago, or at least I don’t think they were, I’ve been all
hot on this new product CLINIQUE put out. The main offending spot is about the
size of a pencil eraser, so I dove head first into their new Even Better
Clinical Dark Spot Corrector ($49.50/1oz) when their PR people sent it to me to
try out. There’s a huge push on this product right now as they claim
prescription strength and that you can see a difference on the skin in as
little as four weeks. It contains their patent-pending CL-302 plant-derived
complex that claims to help prevent the appearance of new dark spots and
visibly break up existing clusters of pigment as well as improve the overall radiance and clarity. So
how did it work for me? I have used it for about 5 weeks now and while I do see
a boost in the overall radiance and slight difference around the main brown
spot, it didn’t get rid of the brown spot altogether, which is what I was
hoping for. So I’ll keep on using it until the product runs out and hopefully it will do
some more damage to the main brown spot.
The
other new product I’ve been using is their new Youth Surge Night Age
Decelerating Night Moisturizer for dry combination ($48.50/1.7oz) and what a
great nighttime moisturizer this one is. Based on Sirtuin Techology, this super
thick balm that absorbs pretty quickly. And while it does seem a tad on the
expensive side, even for Clinique, a little dab goes a long way. Both @
