Clinique Superdefense SPF40 Fatigue + 1st Signs of Age Multi-Correcting Gel 30ml is the brand's daily anti-fatigue and anti-ageing daytime gel, designed for normal, combination and oily skin types showing the first visible signs of ageing and city-life tiredness. The oil-free, lightweight formula combines broad-spectrum SPF40 sun protection with the brand's Stop Signs™ technology — an antioxidant blend, niacinamide and a fermented "energy" complex — to help wake skin up, even out tone and protect against UV, pollution and irritants.
About Clinique Superdefense
Clinique was founded in 1968 in New York as the first dermatologist-led prestige skincare line. The Superdefense range is the brand's modern daily-defence line — designed for skin that is exposed to multiple modern aggressors (pollution, screen-time, sun, stress) and is starting to show early signs of ageing. The SPF40 Gel format sits within this range as the lightest, fastest-absorbing option, well-suited to combination and oily skin.
Key ingredients
- Broad-Spectrum UV Filters (Bisdisulizole Disodium, Octinoxate, Ensulizole) — deliver SPF40 against both UVA and UVB.
- Stop Signs™ Antioxidant Complex — Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Ergothioneine; help defend against free-radical damage.
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) — supports the skin barrier, evens out tone and reduces the appearance of pores.
- Fermented Energy Blend (Creatine, Acetyl Carnitine, Lactobacillus Ferment) — helps re-energise tired-looking skin.
- Botanical Antioxidant Blend — carrot, cranberry, Brussels sprout, blueberry, kale, spinach and broccoli extracts.
- Cucumber Extract — soothes and refreshes.

Particularly useful for those living urban lives with regular pollution and screen exposure, and a sensible daytime moisturiser-and-SPF in one for anyone who otherwise skips dedicated sunscreen.
