1. Best new everyday skin care product – prestige
Clinique Superdefense SPF25 Age Defense Moisturizer
Superdefense SPF 25 Age Defense Moisturizer is Clinique’s most advanced daily age prevention moisturiser with SPF. This updated product now offers new technology designed to defend against the effects of emotional and psychological stress on skin. In addition, an advanced innovative sun screen formula and antioxidants help protect against external aggressors such as sun and pollution.
To help combat the visible signs of ageing, special ingredients are included to improve and strengthen skin’s moisture barrier function. These enhanced benefits are on top of the existing world-renowned Superdefense formula which is already expert at defending skin’s immunity against the visible signs of ageing. From £26.00.
2. Best classic beauty product – prestige
Clinique Airbrush Concealer
Every makeup connoisseur knows that fashioning a flawless complexion is all about accentuating the positives and downplaying the negatives. If you aim for perfection - and we all do - creating the ideal canvas involves concealing imperfections like dark spots and redness, illuminating shadows and facial contours, and perfecting the appearance of lines and wrinkles. An indispensable makeup tool, Airbrush Concealer does just that.
A novel combination of ingredients delivers all-in-one concealing, contouring and highlighting benefits. Available in: Fair, Medium and Neutral Fair, £15.
3. Best new men’s grooming product – prestige
Clinique Skin Supplies For Men Age Defense Hydrator SPF15
Clinique’s new Skin Supplies for Men Age Defense Hydrator SPF 15 is a multi-purpose, lightweight lotion that not only reduces the visible signs of ageing, but also works to help protect against future damage. Powerful antioxidants and UVA/UVB sun protection work to address the No.1 cause of premature skin ageing – sun damage.
This fast-absorbing lotion provides immediate moisturisation that lasts all day, helping to restore your skin’s natural moisture barrier function, which can be compromised by the stripping effects of daily shaving. £24.47.
