On my third tube, but finally getting tired of the tint look - needs a bit more than sheer and tint. It does not cause breakouts, very neutral color, texture, feels comfortable wearing all day.

I love love love this product. TM is the best for me, foundation is too makeup-like, and I really like a natural look. Really evens out my skin. When I first wore it, even my sister (who is what we'd call oblivious) mentioned that my face looked great. And SPF is a great hit (Have you heard? Everyone is crazy about sunscreen now). Would buy again, but its expensive. I'm still searching for the perfect TM, that I can afford.

I bought this product last year and put it away for awhile and have been using Aveda tinted moisturizer. I just tried my Clinique again and remembered how much I loved it. It feels really clean on my sensitive and pale skin. The color is very natural and I have had no sensitivity issues or breakouts. I will definitely switch back for good. I do keep a full coverage foundation for other uses, as this is extremely light coverage, but great for sunscreen and everyday.

This is a really good product. Light coverage, but evens out skin tone. Tone match is good. I'm quite fair, and the lightest shade works for me. Great SPF and moisturizing qualities. Doesn't irritate my skin, like the Almost Makeup did. Perfect for summer, and got me through the winter as well. Excellent price for something with so many uses and lasting power. One tube lasts me 2-3 months, and I apply a good amount daily. (I use this as a base, and then EL's Individualist as concealer where needed.) This was my HG, but it seems they've discontinued this line, at least in the UK. I am bereft. :(

I really, really wanted to like this. I have really pale skin so I'm always looking for something to brighten me up a little, and make me look like I'm not sick. Unfortuantely, I also have really sensitive skin and so within an hour of putting this on, I started developing little bumps on my cheeks and then my whole face turned bright red. I did like the consistency and, until my reaction, the glow it gave my face, but I just want to warn those with sensitive skin to watch out.

This is a good basic boring tinted moisturizer with SPF and not to mention the price is rather shock. I give Clinique City Block an overall 3 lipsticks rating.

A great product for general use, this goes on great, although it does take some rubbing in to get it to look right. The colour is generally good and complements my skin-tone nicely, although it does occasionally look a bit off on the drier skin on my forehead and nose. Generally speaking, a decent all-round product that I would reommend to most people.

OK, I found this is a great product in itself, but it just didn't suit my oily skin, even though it's oil-free. It's easy to apply with fingers, sinks in quickly, and is incredibly lightweight and sheer. If doesn't feel like you're wearing anything, evnes out the skin tone slightly, and has the all-important SPF in. But...after a couple of hours, my oily skin was oilier than usual, and ended up being a greasepot. I already blot and touch up my powder a couple of times a day anyway, and don't want to be doing that any more times nor having to worry that I'm all shiny inbetween. So, basically, it's a lovely product, but don't go for it if you're prone to oil. It would be good for normal or dryer skins. I wish I could have liked it!

I used to love this and for a while I thought it would be my HG for good. But Taiwan is wayyyyyyyyy to hot and humid....I now mix this with Pond's TM in the summer when I am a bit darker (I used to be into the tan and healthy look...now I'm more into looking good for few more years lol) Again, would be great for someone with dry skin or live in cold, dry climate.

This is definately a HG for me! Right now im using the 25 spf in Light and it does seem to take a bit longer to blend in then the 15. I think ill go back to the 15 next time I buy. Im an especially picky cosmetic girl and I never seem to buy the same product twice but ive bought this at least 5 time so far so you know its good! I dont wear foundation so this product is great if you just want to get your skin tone even, have some sun block, and not feel like your wearing makeup. This doesnt come off on clothes and I wear it for everything. I really couldnt live without it. If I want to get rid of shine I just use my shine stopper under it. (a small bottle that is just water, and a bit of milk of magnesia..this really is great for absorbing oil)
*UPDATE: I have since switched to ZuZu Luxe foundation which is vegan (aka no animal ingredients, no animal testing) which I like so much more then this. Will not be repurchasing cityblock

I tried this the other day and was very impressed. Unfortunately, a friend let me use hers so I cannot use it again until I get out to the mall to buy my own.

It glided onto my skin and I didn't need any other foundation with it even though it is considered by some to be an "under makeup" product. It is very lightly tinted and contains SPF 15, but you do have to make sure you try it on at the store before buying to make sure you get the right match for your summer skin tone.

This product is listed as "Oil Free." It does glide right on which makes me wonder what emollient is in this product to make it go on with such ease; it also covers up splotches on the skin and doesn't seem to accentuate rough spots.
I have to admit that I keep coming back to Clinique skin products regardless of which other brands I try and think I like at the time. This tinted moisturizer is another one I will buy and definitely keep.

i have trouble finding a high SPF moisturiser that dosen't make my oily skin break-out. i tried the tinted clinique super city block on reccommendation from a friend. it is a lot less greasy than other SPF moisturisers, although i still have to wear powder over the top to stop shine.

i isnt a miracle for my oily skin, but i would definately recommend it

I really like the great spf protection and the tint medium/dark suits my skin well. Unfortunately, it´s not rich enough for my normal to dry skin, not even during the warm summermonths. I have now find Origins Nude and Improved which is not to oily, nor to oilfree for my skin.

Ah, i love this product! I wear this everyday during the summer months. Unlike other tinted moisturizers CB doesn't make my skin look oily, nor does it cause break outs.

I really love this stuff, I just wish it was a little cheaper. I love that it has titanium dioxide instead of Parasol so I know I'm getting excellent sun protection. I accidentally bought this tinted version, but I think it's great. (I don't normally wear any foundation because I hate feeling like I'm wearing a mask.) It gives a subtle evening of my skin tone, and it hasn't broken me out yet, and I'm almost done with the tube!

I love this tint version better than the regular. It has a nice, light, matte finish. It doesn't feel greasy, and perfect as a tinted moisturizer if you have normal to oily skin. The only drawback is even the light/ medium will be too dark for light skin. Dry skin might want to put a moisturizer before applying this.

Being a huge fan of the original City Block Sheer, I thought I'd try the tinted version, should be a no-brainer, right? Wrong! I purchased the Light/Medium shade, and on my NW20 skin is was too dark and too golden, way too obvious even though its sheer. Promptly exchanged it for the original version.

This is a very lightly tinted sunscreen that really looks natural on. It doesn't make my face look oily or greasy and it hasn't caused me to break out. I usually use this during the warmer months.

Awesome product, have the sheer shimmer in golden- I don't even wear a foundation with it. It makes my skin matte with a hint of colour and SPF15.Great product!
