I just got through testing Clinique’s Super Defense SPF 25 and boy do I love it, this is perfect for dry/extra dry skin. This “Super Cream” is an ultra rich formulation that contains SPF 25 which is amazing because it is so hard to find a sunscreen that can go under makeup effectively (without feeling thick etc). That being said, this cream is specifically for very dry, dry or combination dry skin. It is chocked full of anti-aging benefits like:
- glycerin
- olea europaea (olive) fruit extract
- rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) extract
- sea whip extract
- linoleic acid
- soy protein
Overall an excellent cream if you are looking for something with the added benefit of SPF 25 that helps to neutralize UVA and UVB rays.
Available for $48 at Clinique counters nationwide.

I’m 41 and I won some Made from Earth skincare products and a few other anti-aging products in a contest, some of which were 200.00+. The Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming serum (from the Made from Earth skincare line) is by far the best of that bunch! THIS WORKS. I will always buy this.
I had 2 small worry lines between my eyes and after 3 weeks or so they were for the most part, gone. One night I put some on, and put a Frownie on, which is a little ‘tape thingy’ you sleep in, and the next morning, those wrinkles were completely gone and they never came back. At all.
It goes on smooth. I don’t notice any smell really. I don’t have any complaints in that department at all.
I use this morning and night personally. It is not heavy or greasy and I wear it under my makeup. There’s no tint and it goes on clear. It leaves my skin very smooth and soft. Do try it! Their website is http://www.madefromearth.com/
