- Q
Is this product Cruelty Free?? I have a feeling it is not, as all of Clinique's products are not. Such a shame because I'd really like to try this product. And, by the way, shame on YOU for not getting into the 21st Century with Cruelty Free products.

Clinique Smart Clinical Repair AM/PM Retinoid Balm I received this Clinique Retinoid Balm from #Clinique and #Influenster, in return for my honest and unbiased review. It comes in this pretty metallic purple tube. The balm twists up like a lipstick, and is small enough to carry in your pocket or h...

Silky on my skin, easily glides on and sinks in
I applied AM/PM Retinol Balm every time I washed my face on the crows feet and between brows (frown and bunny lines….it's not as cute as it sounds). The stick is the size of a lip balm. It makes a perfect retinol for traveling. There was no scent, and I did not experience any reactions. The solid ...

This product is very effective! Certain areas are more defined and have seen remarkable improvement. I can see where progress may not be apparent if the skin is not cleansed thoroughly and properly exfoliated. Using the serum and this product truly works wonders. And pressing the product gently and repeatedly is the key—when I didn't do this step the results were not as evident. A tube lasts quite awhile, but if I used it all over my face it would not.
Happy
I live how convenient it is and I l9ve putting it in the refrigerator on these warm days and how easy and nice to not have to put my fingers into it and I can use it as touch ups or more all over. I like as a touch up though the day. I wish it was bigger but the price is good also.
Great Retina Product for lips and eyes!
I just LOVE this Clinique Smart Clinical RetinaA anti aging product that is perfect for your lips and eyes! It makes them look younger after using it for a while because new skin develops. The product is not to strong it is just perfect. And it really does work! I highly recommend it!
This stuff is like magic in a purple tube

My forehead lines were pretty deep and this worked so well that after about three weeks I could barely see them anymore. I'm having a hard time seeing them when I try to apply it now. I definitely works and you won't be disappointed.
Too expensive for so little product

I've been using this for the last few weeks (3 weeks top, not even a month) and although I'm starting to see some improvements, I've already run out of the product. It did not even last a month. This is frustrating as I expect a product to last more and get a chance to fully appreciate it.
