16 Jan Cosmetic Chemist Review, Ingredients: Clinique Superdefense SPF 20 Daily Defense Moisturizer – How To Treat First Signs Of Aging – Dry/Dry Combo, Oily/Combo New Formulas — GIVEAWAY
There is a saying in sports that the best offense is a great defense. This means that if you prevent your opponent from scoring, then you will have a greater chance of winning. Well, this also applies to the fight against aging — given it’s much easier to prevent new wrinkles than it is to get rid of the ones that are already there.

Luckily, I just received a new weapon to add to my anti-aging arsenal. Enter Clinique’s NEW Superdefense SPF 20 Daily Defense Moisturizer.
Clinique’s NEW moisturizer is formulated with technology to help boost skin’s ability to protect against the first signs of aging, while also helping to prevent future damage. With a remarkably light, silky texture that absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling immediately refreshed, Superdefense SPF 20 Daily Defense Moisturizer helps hydrate, protect and repair skin all day, every day.
This new daily moisturizer provides skin with all-day hydration that helps strengthen and support the moisture barrier, so skin is better able to defend against external aggressors immediately and over time. Plus, a mix of antioxidants and daily sun protection help defend against lines and wrinkles from forming in the future.
How It Works:
Skin’s natural defenses are compromised every day by external factors, resulting in sun damage and aging effects. In fact, studies prove that 80% of skin aging is related to UV radiation. Superdefense SPF 20 Daily Defense Moisturizer is Clinique’s most complete age prevention daily moisturizer, formulated with key ingredients such as photosomes, an enzyme that helps minimize the appearance of UV damage. Activated by sunlight, photosomes use the energy from UV radiation to repair existing ultraviolet damage to the skin before it results in visible lines and wrinkles.
Clinique’s new daily moisturizer also provides a full spectrum approach to UVA/UVB protection with an SPF 20 and a mix of antioxidants such as vitamin C and E, helping to prevent UV damage from forming.
NEW Superdefense SPF 20 Daily Defense Moisturizer utilizes Clinique’s latest technology to keep skin comfortable and hydrated all day long. A blend of barrier-building ingredients such as barley and wheat germ extract deliver intense moisturization while strengthening the skin’s barrier function. In addition, this formula provides comfort to the skin with anti-irritants such as sea whip extract and caffeine, which both soothe and calm skin.
Editorial Assessment
Product tester and professional photographer, Linda Farwell, says:
“It is very hydrating. I have very dry skin and it’s been about two hours now and my skin still feels great. I usually break out from products containing SPF, so I’ll try for the next day or two and see if it happens. But right now I love it! No breaking out so far — that’s a first. I just apply in the morning and my skin doesn’t need anymore hydration; very moisturizing. All and all, I like it a lot!”
Cosmetic Chemist Assessment:
BeautyStat’s own cosmetic chemist, Ron Robinson, reviewed the product and weighed in as well:
“Based on the ingredients listed, this formula should provide both good moisturizing and protection benefits. Superdefense SPF 20 Daily Defense Moisturizer leaves skin soft, smooth and protected. It is available in two skin type formulas to ensure skin receives a custom fit regimen: dry/dry combo and combo oily/oily skin. Apply every morning after Clinique’s 3-Step Skin Care System.”
Where To Buy It:
Superdefense SPF 20 Daily Defense Moisturizer is available starting January 2014 at Clinique counters or shop for it here on www.BeautyStat.com for a suggested retail price of $45.00.
