I have used Clinique since I was in high school. Recently I'm not sure if the ingredients have changed but I have experienced redness around my eyes, puffiness and extremely sore. Once I stopped using the super balance foundation my eyes cleared up. I hate this cause I have used this product for years but can no longer use it.

This is an amazing foundation for mature skin! It goes on flawlessly, doesn't settle into fine lines and gives your skin a healthy glow. It does exactly what it claims. Adds hydration and subtracts oil where needed. I'm 61 and get so many compliments on my skin when I wear this foundation. CN 40 is my perfect match. It goes on beautifully and seamlessly with the Clinique foundation buff brush. Just the right amount of coverage. It looks very natural. I absolutely love this product and I hope it doesn't get discontinued. I've been searching for the perfect foundation for years and finally found it! Thank you Clinique ♥️

After using Clinique for about 35 years, I keep trying other Clinique foundations, but always come back to this one. I have oily combo skin and it provides moderate coverage without feeling cakey or oily. It doesn't settle into my fine lines. My T-zone oil is kept in check and my dry cheeks are kept balanced. I love that it comes in so many shades and I have very fair skin and find it difficult to find shades with some other foundations. I was able to find a perfect match with this foundation.

Initially, I was content with the Superbalanced formula. It was more runny than my usual foundation but I had run out and this was what I had available. Unfortunately, after repeated use, the skin around my eyes became red, puffy, and sore. I was at a loss as to what would cause it but after contacting my doctor, he said that it was dermatitis probably caused by makeup. I have never had this problem before with any other makeup product, including Clinique ones, but after I stopped using it, the problem area healed. I was disappointed with the results, especially as this is one of Clinique's more expensive formulas. It makes me nervous about buying from them again in the future.

I recently tried Superbalanced Makeup for the first time. It goes on easily with good coverage and makes my skin feel very soft. I have dark circles under my eyes for which I usually use a concealor. With Superbalanced Makeup, I have not really needed to use a concealor. I was pleasantly surprised at how little I need to use to get the coverage I am seeking. I use baby powder to set it the same as I do with any foundation and sometimes re-powder after work. It lasts throughout the day even with me still wearing a face mask.

I first stumbled upon this foundation after deciding on a whim I needed to begin including a concealer in my new-found makeup routine. I was using Clinique's Superpowder Double Face Makeup in 09 matte cream for a few years, but was never 100% happy with my purchase because the color felt ever so slightly "off" (too yellow-toned for my skin). What prompted me to make a new foundation purchase wasn't initially color choice, but lack of coverage- I was realizing the darker circles under my eyes and prominent vein (I've always had) under my right eye was one of the driving factors for me wanting to add a concealer to my makeup routine. I began diligently seeking reviews and more importantly trying to find someone that had the same issue I did; finding the correct color for a fair to moderately fair olive-skinned woman whose veins on the inner part of the wrist are a combination of purple & green. I didn't successfully find any reviews or YouTubers who matched those specific parameters, but I did find some glowing reviews for Clinique's Superbalanced Makeup. I used my Superpowder foundation as a reference as well as the site's model to get an idea as to what color would be best. I settled on 03 Ivory. I just received my purchase today and was ecstatic when I tried a swatch on my cheek. It blended seamlessly. I did a full face of makeup after getting ready for the day and I can confidently say I finally found My foundation of choice. The formula has a natural finish, lightweight, easy, buildable coverage (used fingers & sponge for application). I love that it reduces the pores on my cheeks, neutralizes the hyperpigmentation from acne, and reduces the dark circles & vein that runs under my eye, all without the use of a concealer I initially thought I needed. Thanks Clinique for your fantastic formula and helping me create a natural even canvas to explore my makeup endeavors.

I suffer from bad acne and dark scars from skin issues. I love this foundation so much! It is so soft and stays on my face and covers my skin so well it is so good! Would recommend to my friends and everyone on earth that has skin who wants foundation.

Mineral powder foundations have always been my preference as a combo/acne-prone gal. This foundation performs beautifully for me! It blurs pores, covers all my blotchy areas, reduces redness, and *most importantly* does not irritate my ultra sensitive skin. No breakouts or clogged pores! It feels weightless too. Lightweight enough for daily wear with a glam finish. (Seriously, I wore this for professional photos and looked almost airbrushed. Not the least bit cakey!) Also looks great over SPF. Would suggest cream blush with this foundation- powder blush is a bit more difficult to blend. For comparison- this worked better than the Exa Beauty foundation (Clinique's Superbalanced does not get nearly as oily) and better than Tower28's SunnyDays skin tint (Superbalanced doesn't cling to dry patches).
