I decided to try this because Sears is offering a gift with purchase. I bought the 1.7floz size. I am of East Indian descent and my complexion is medium with olive undertones. Because of all the hyperpigmentation and old acne scars on my face I am always looking for products that even out my complexion and help me to use less foundation for that purpose. I have darker pigmentation particularly around my mouth and chin that is hard to disguise.
The Clinique skin corrector that I tried about a year ago was completely disappointing. T
I started using this Estee Lauder product about a week ago and the results are unbelievable. I keep thinking it must be too good to be true and I am a little afraid that in a few more weeks I may start to break out. But for now, I can actually see a decrease in the pigmentation around my mouth and a significant lightening of the old acne scars on my face. My complexion is brighter. I am not sure how this works - it may be something to do with diffusing light so stuff just looks lighter - Whatever it is - I love it !
I will update in a few weeks as to whether it caused any breakouts or turned out to be too good to be true in some way. Meanwhile fingers crossed!!:)

In my on going quest to keep my acne prone skin clear and to wear less makeup to cover old acne scars and hyperpigmentation, I started to use this oil free matifying fluid about 2 weeks ago. It was recommended by a beauty consultant at Rexall when I told her I was looking for something that would reduce the shiny appearance of my face and help my make up stay on better especially as the day progresses.
Well, it is fantastic. Again, it has not caused any breakouts so far and I have been able to use less make up as I don't have to re-touch throughout the day. There definitely is a reduction in shine. It
It has a very light feel and is fragrance free. I apply it to my entire face after face wash, toner, pore refining serum and moisturizer. I usually use this only when I intend to wear makeup.
It's a great product for keep my face matte and for helping my make up stay on even when I am outdoors and getting somewhat sweaty because of the heat.

I started using this product about 5 months ago when it was recommended to me by the Clinique counter at the Bay. I had expressed the need for a product that would help me use less foundation to even out the skin tone on my acne prone skin.
I am on my third bottle now, so perhaps I am using more than the expected amounts of this product. I use it after my face wash and toner but before my moisturizer. It certainly has helped in reducing the amount of foundation I need to use to achieve an even skin tone. I don't know if it has reduced the size of the pores by 58% - how exactly does one measure these things?:) However, my skin looks smoother and I am using less makeup. I will continue using it for sure!

When this product was introduced I had great expectations as the Clinique Moisture Surge extended thirst relief was working so well on keeping my acne prone skin moisturized without causing any breakouts.
I have lots of acne marks and hyperpigmentation and hoped that this product would lighten these spots.
I went through, 2 bottles over 4months, using exactly as recommended twice per day and using sunblock SPF 40 or higher as I usually do.
There was absolutely no difference in the appearance of my skin. I will not be buying this again.

I started using this moisturizer about a year ago. I have acne prone skin and have always had breakouts when using moisturizers, even those made for oily/acne skin types. So I have avoided moisturizers for years.
It was recommended to me by a woman at the Clinique counter at the Bay, when I approached her regarding products that would minimize the look of lines on my face. She told me I actually need a moisturizer not a wrinkle reducer as the lines were from my skin being so dehydrated from the retinoic acid that I use weekly as part of on going acne treatment.
It is a fabulous product. I haven't had a single breakout with it. It helps to moisturize my skin so the weekly flaking that occurs because of the retinoic acid is manageable. The lines have disappeared. I can use it under makeup winter or summer and it does not feel heavy.
