Stuff I love about this product: First, the fragrance. It smells like the sweetest cake you'll ever taste -- creamy, buttery, and honey-like. It doesn't become off-putting with time, like other lotions, and it doesn't wear off easily. Also, it's enough to make me want to eat the whole thing (oh if only it were edible)! Second, the soft texture. It's like putting on whip cream, really. It's not very viscous and spreads relatively easily compared to other viscous products. Third, what it does. It's very moisturizing, leaves the skin really soft and smooth once it sets in. Couldn't stop feeling my arm skin after this. One con, though: it's not suited for people who live in hot and humid weather. When you sweat with this product on, you feel like a mess. That's why I use this only at night when it's cold.

This was a so-so product for me. It has a nice sweet scent (chamomile) and after applying, it dries quickly and makes your skin look clean and healthy. It's too light so you have to reapply if you want it too remain that way. it does little for sensitive-skinned people, though (like me). One day I had the worst skin irritation (because I'm photosensitive), but this didn't "soothe" my skin just as it promised. Now, I just use it as a foot lotion.

This product makes your skin feel and look healthy afterwards. It lathers easily and removes makeup well, too. Caution, though, if you don't do as the instructions say (which is NOT to use the product excessively) it can be harsh on the skin. I overused the product and it caused some serious irritation.

Hated this product! It has a weird smell and it's greasy. It's thick, too, and hard to spread so in order to cover your whole face you need a lot of it. you end up using too much it makes your skin oily. Had to blot out the excess oil. Not a good product.

I live in a tropical country where summer is intensely hot and humid so my ideal moisturizer (i've dry-combination skin) is one that's lightweight, non-greasy, non-comedogenic, at the same time moisturizing enough so my face won't flake bc of the weather. And this one is just it! A little goes a long way -- I just tap some of the product on my face and it works fine. Makes the skin look bright and healthy. Highly recommended!

I agree with the other positive reviews here. This product's a fantastic one. It does its job of exfoliating (without irritating the skin). After you wash your face in the morning, you get clearer, smoother skin (my pimples were gone!), the redness fades, and acne scars appear less visible. Didn't do anything to cure my blackheads, though (but they're stubborn, really).

What I love about Almost Lipstick: 1. the buildable color 2. the fact that it's like a combination of lip balm, lip gloss, and lipstick 3. the attractive sleek package 4. it doesn't dry out the lips the way some lip color products do after a period of time so you can reapply frequently What I don't like: 1. that it just wears off too quickly. less than 4 hours on my part, I think But still, the pros outweigh the cons for me.

In Asia (where I'm from), this product's called Turnaround Concentrate Extra Radiance Renewer. Not sure if the non-Asian version has different ingredients. Anyway, I'm reviewing the Asian version. :) Before I bought this, I received a sample from Clinique. When the saleslady applied it to my skin, the result was immediate. Dull, uneven, and blotchy skin became smooth and radiant. I was waiting for a break-out, actually, as serums usually broke me out, but there was none of that. After a week-long use of the samples she gave me (a little goes a long way, btw), I noticed that there was a significant change in my skin. It didn't just help me look more radiant, it also evened out my skin tone. Later, I found out that the whole line was tailored for Asian skin (probably because of weather factors and all that) which was more susceptible to dullness, so plus points for that. I've been using it for more than 5 months now, and there have been no break-outs, whatsoever. It calms down redness and really does its job of exfoliating dead skin cells away :) My skin looks smooth without make-up!

Once you put this on, your lips automatically look healthier, plumper, and shinier without being sticky. Lasts long too! The only con I see is that it doesn't sink in as quickly as is ideal. :)

About a month ago, i had the worst case of dermatitis because of too much unprotected sun exposure (and too harsh exfoliation --what was I thinking?!) so my skin was dry, itchy, and irritated. My dermatologist said I disrupted my skin's hydrolipid bilayer, which lead to a lot of bumps all over my arms. Then I saw Clinique's Turnaround Body on the internet, with glittering reviews on its website. I decided to give it a try, and I must say, after a month my bumps have been reduced by about a half! And the areas without the bumps look radiant and more even toned. Healthy, in other words! It also has menthol in it, which makes the skin feel cool after the shower. And it's light too, but moisturizing enough for winter. I use this twice a day, AM and PM, as prescribed by Clinique. It's nice to layer this under another Clinique product (Clinique's sun cream) when I'm out in the sun. It makes the skin soft and smooth. Definitely give this a try!
