Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream SPF30 40ml in Light Medium is a multi-tasking tinted moisturiser that hydrates, colour-corrects and protects in a single step. The lightweight formula evens redness, dullness and sallowness while delivering broad-spectrum SPF 30 sun protection and a natural-finish veil of coverage — suitable as a daily "no makeup" face base or as a sheer pre-foundation step.
About Clinique
Founded in New York in 1968 by Carol Phillips, Clinique was the first allergy-tested, fragrance-free beauty brand developed under dermatological guidance. Now part of The Estée Lauder Companies, the brand is best known for its 3-Step Skin Care System and its sensitive-skin-friendly cosmetics. The Moisture Surge line is one of its most beloved hydration ranges, extended here into a daily tinted-moisturiser CC format.
Key features
- Tinted hydration, colour correction and SPF in one — multitasks as a moisturiser, base and sunscreen
- Broad-spectrum SPF 30 — adds substantial daily UV defence
- Moderate, buildable coverage — natural finish; spot-apply for sheer, smooth-on for fuller wear
- Hydrating Moisture Surge formula — keeps the complexion comfortable rather than tight
- Allergy-tested and fragrance-free — suitable for sensitive skin
- Lightweight texture — comfortable for daily and warm-weather wear
Shade
Light Medium is calibrated for moderately fair complexions — sitting between Clinique's Light and Medium shades in the wider 5-shade CC range. Best matched on the jawline in natural daylight to confirm a clean blend with the neck and décolletage.
Who it's for
This CC Cream suits anyone wanting a daily, low-fuss base that combines moisture, soft coverage and sun protection — particularly those who prefer a "fresh, lit-from-within" look to a full matte foundation. The hydrating formula is well-suited to normal-to-dehydrated skin types and to anyone seeking a sensitive-skin-friendly tinted moisturiser.
How to apply
- Apply moisturiser if needed; let it absorb fully
- Smooth the CC Cream onto the face and neck with fingertips or a Beautyblender
- For lighter coverage, spot-apply where skin looks red or dull and blend
- For fuller coverage, layer your usual foundation over the top
- Set with translucent powder if desired
