:-) $$$ <b>Clinique Superdefense Triple Action Moisturizer SPF 25, for Normal to Oily Skin</b> ($39.50 for 1.7 ounces) has a great name and is sold with the tag line "makes SPF alone seem almost primitive." I assume what Clinique means is that today we know so much about how skin functions and the role sun damage plays in hurting healthy skin, that we recognize it takes more than just standard active ingredients to protect and restore skin. If this was their intention, then I agree! That's because, given what we now know about antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, and barrier-repair ingredients, and the way their presence in sunscreens can make them even more effective on skin, it is a good idea to examine sunscreens beyond what's in their active ingredient list. This particular product is another winner, featuring an in-part avobenzone sunscreen in a light, silky feeling lotion base suitable for normal to oily skin.According to information in the September 30, 2004, issue of the cosmetics industry newsletter The Rose Sheet, the sunscreens in all of Clinique's Superdefense moisturizers are "contained in a floating polymer matrix" to prevent skin irritation. This technology, which is relatively new, potentially can keep active ingredients from penetrating the skin, which can lead to irritation. Studies of products that combine UVA-protective actives, such as avobenzone and octinoxate (both used in Clinique's Superdefense products), with various silicone ingredients showed mixed results. In some trials, the silicones slowed the penetration of the actives (thus reducing the potential for a sensitizing reaction), but other trials noted accelerated penetration of the actives, indicating that the specific type of silicone emulsion included must be carefully coordinated with the specific active ingredients (Source: Journal of Cosmetic Science, volume 55, issue 6, November–December 2004, pages 509–518).
Whether or not Clinique has succeeded in their efforts to create a gentler sunscreen remains to be seen. Further, this technology cannot guarantee that you won't react negatively to one or more of the active ingredients—or potentially to other ingredients in the product—because there are so many other factors that come into play, such as what your skin is sensitive to. What is important about this product is its broad-spectrum sun protection and blend of antioxidants to support the health of skin and reduce inflammation. Clinique deserves commendation for combining those elements in a cosmetically elegant product. The next step for Clinique is to move away from jar packaging to help ensure the stability of all the antioxidants included in the product, since that would bring them a lot further along in helping make good on their claims.
:-) $$$ <b>Clinique Superdefense Triple Action Moisturizer SPF 25, for Normal to Dry Skin</b> ($39.50 for 1.7 ounces) shares all of the positive traits (and has the same packaging issue) as the Superdefense Triple Action Moisturizer SPF 25, for Normal to Oily Skin above, except the base formula is an emollient blend appropriate for normal to dry skin. The silicone and petrolatum mix is a great way to get the benefits of both ingredients because the silicone's drier finish helps offset the greasy feel of the petrolatum. Both are excellent for protecting the skin's barrier and preventing moisture loss due to environmental conditions.
:-) $$$ <b>Clinique Superdefense Triple Action Moisturizer SPF 25, for Very Dry Skin</b> ($39.50 for 1.7 ounces) shares all of the positive traits (and has the same packaging issue) as the Superdefense Triple Action Moisturizer SPF 25, for Normal to Oily Skin above, except its base formula is preferred for normal to very dry skin. This is slightly more emollient than the Superdefense for Normal to Dry Skin moisturizer above, and I encourage those with dry skin to sample the textures of both to see which one you prefer.
