Name of product: New Redness Solutions Makeup SPF 15 with Probiotic Technology – Clinique Redness Solutions

Price: 30mls for £20

The blurb: “NEW Redness Solutions Makeup SPF 15 camouflages while it treats redness. The soothing oil-free formula instantly colour-corrects flushing, blushing. Contains calming ingredients help minimize flare-ups. Beneficial probiotic technology helps strengthen skin’s barrier. Keeps environmental triggers at bay with SPF plus antioxidants”

First impressions: This product initially has all the appearance of a usual creamy foundation, despite being oil free. It appears to be quite a small bottle for the price at first glance

Ease of Use: Very easy to apply. Surprisingly, the makeup was very concentrated and only 1 or 2 drops were required

Pros: The product effectively reduced all trace of redness and inflammation and lasted the day without reapplication! It contained Sun Protection Factor which is essential for those with sensitive skin. This is a very useful, colour corrective product for those of us prone to redness – hurrah!

Cons: SPF 15 is not high enough for some skin types, or for those of us who would wear it a sun or skiing holiday for example. The creamy consistency of the makeup causes shine, making the application of additional products (Pressed Powder) essential

Value for money:. I thought that the makeup SPF 15 is very good value, especially as it is used very sparingly – and even though small, the bottle should go a long way!

Dulwichmum verdict: ★★★★☆

Stockists: Available online Clinique.co.uk and at all Clinique counters nationwide from 15th October 2010
