I really saw no results from this cream. I used a jar of it, and saw no difference. Didn't care for it as a moisturizer (which I understand it's really not, it's more of a treatment. Was quite pricey. Would not purchase it again. You can get products with salicylic acid in them for much cheaper, and I have had better results with cheaper products. Another Clinique product that didn't work out for me.

A name of a product accents that it is able to improve a present condition of my face. Well, it did not for $90 a jar it is comparable with any supermarket product. For my dry areas it was too light, for normal areas it was too sticky, it did not worth that kind of money at all

I really liked this product. It keeps my face smooth and silky. It's one of the few moisturizers I can use in the morning under my makeup that doesn't feel sticky.

After experiencing a difficult breakout few years ago, I stopped using Clinique products. I received this one as a gift from a friend, and surprise, surprise. This does a really good job of keeping my face moisturized and expfoliated. My skin feels soft and glowing - as others noted here. The only thing I don't like about this product is the packaging. I wish I could use this product without having the dip my fingers in it each time.

I originally got this product as a GWP several years ago and did use it for a while. Then I stopped because the price seemed steep but I went back to this last summer. I use this as a nighttime moisturizer. It leaves my skin soft and smooth and not greasy. More importantly, it hasn't caused my sensitive skin to break out. This product contains ingredients to exfoliate, although according to Paula B's website, not enough to be effective. I do find, however, my skin does look better when I've used this product. Although I hate the jar packaging of the cream, the serum in the pump runs out too quickly. I was going to try Even Better Skin Tone Corrector when I run out of Turnaround Cream, but negative reviews on this site make me think I'll stick with the old tried and true. Actual rating 3.5 lippies.

OK, I'm a Clinique SA, hence the yes, I would buy it again, because I will get it for free. I love, love, love, this stuff. Some ppl don't. However, I DO see a difference in the appearance and the feel of my skin when I use it. My face is soft and silky, my MU glides on much better, and I look "fresher". I tried the concentrate first, but ran out of it no time. So this time I ordered the jars of it, hoping it's going to last a little longer. There is a small amount of sacylic acid in this to help exfoliate dead skin cells. I don't care how it makes my face look so nice, it just does. I recommend it, especially if your are slightly oily, because the sacylic acid helps to dry up oil and help the blackheads.

*EDIT* I'll admit that I don't really know the difference between this product and their "intense" version of it, but I originally thought it was supposed to be the moisturizer. Though it doesn't impart too much moisture (I have dry skin, so I usually follow with a richer moisturizer), it does give me smooth skin when I use it at night. I would swap for it again, for sure, but I think I'd rather buy a different product to try out.

I use this product at night before going to bed, and wake up with my skin red & itchy. To its credit, it's quite strong -- I'm now using it on my feet to rejuvenate the scaly skin there.

This is too rich for my oily skin. I've got some very painfull cyst acne because of this cream. And don't mention the scarring.

This is a good product overall: it should gently exfoliate your skin, performing an anti aging and peeling function at the same time. Unlike most Clinique skincare, which tend to be rather harsh on my sensitive skin, this didn't cause me any break out. I use it every other night and my skin is less dry and more luminous since I've been using this. Cons: First, I don't like the jar packaging as I find it unhygenical, second and most important, I think you can achieve the same results using far less expensive products, i.e. Olay Regenerist Enhancing Cream, which is also more effective than this for a fraction of the price.

I was very disappointed in this product - especially given the hype from the sales rep and the price. It simply did nothing. It didn't do any damage - no bad effects and didn't break my skin out, but I didn't notice any difference at all. Don't waste your money.

If you break out from the samples of turnaround cream you get in GWPs...it's probably b/c there are two types of turnaround cream and you need the one for oily skin....Clinique rarely samples this version...but if you are oily/acne prone you will have better results from the lotion, not hte cream

I must say I was pretty disappointed with this product. If only i'd discovered this website before i bought it! I just bought it because i was bored of using the acne solutions night treatment gel and my skin had cleared up pretty well. It maybe appeared to do something the first couple of times but maybe i was fooling myself because of the cost factor. I dont really think it exfoliates that much, if at all, if it did i doubt i'd still be having to use daily exfoliating wipes every night. I didnt see much difference in my skin texture, it's pretty much just an expensive cream to wear at night that really doesnt seem to do that much! I probably should have got the "total" turnaround, but at the time i thought they were all the same. Would not purchase again. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Received yet another sample of this but instead of giving it away I decided to give it a try. Used the sample up in about 3 weeks of daily use and saw no real difference in my complexion. It's a nice moisturizer, but from the name I expected more. Like, it should DO something. And the search for my HG night cream continues...

I love this. I have combination skin and have been using this now for a month. I use it as at night and my skin just looks so much better - less spotty and more "glowy". Is my current fave product.

I got a whole 50 gr jar as a gift to my regular 3-step purchase. I use it only 3 nights/week after my moisturizer because more frequent use makes my skin sensitive (too much exfoliation, i guess). The mornings after my skin glows and it helps with deminish my blackheads on the nose.
A pretty good product but i will not buy again because a)it comes in a jar b)my skin doesn't need too much exfoliation that much c)it's a bit pricey
