This month we had the opportunity to evaluate the achievements of high technologies, testing the new “smart” face serum Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum, Clinique.
The tool is designed to recognize the individual needs of skin of any type and at any age and give it exactly what it needs. Whether Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum copes with this difficult task, Psychologies designer Natalya Baleva checked it out.
Operating principle
The serum is made up of a carefully crafted combination of both highly active and soothing ingredients. That is why, despite the intense effect, the product is suitable for sensitive skin. Several components with difficult-to-pronounce names are responsible for rejuvenation. Acetylhexapeptide-8, roxisome enzymes, Sigesbeckia extract – this is an incomplete list. Vitamin C, ergothioneine and four botanical extracts even out skin tone. The polysaccharide glucosamine and salicylic acid restore radiance. Hyaluronic acid, extracts of barley, cucumber and wheat germ moisturize. Red algae and licorice extract soothe. But not all ingredients from this list are activated when they get on the skin. Those that are not needed remain “on standby”. Natalia’s opinion: “I used Clinique products more than once and made sure that this is a serious brand. That’s why I was so eager to try this promising serum.”

Feature of application
Use morning and evening after cleansing before applying cream. Press the dispenser twice and dispense the product. Natalia’s opinion: “A laconic bottle and a subtle fragrance. The serum spreads easily and absorbs quickly. Despite the fact that my skin is dry, I did not want to apply the cream after it. Is it sunscreen: I used the product while relaxing in the Crimea.
Promised effect
After 12 weeks, age spots and wrinkles are reduced, the skin becomes more elastic. Natalia’s opinion: “I was surprised that I saw the changes right away. The skin remained hydrated until the next application of the serum. Usually, under the sun, my face is flaky, reddened and covered with freckles, which gradually merge into larger age spots. Nothing of the kind happened this time. I returned from vacation with an even tan, and the skin became noticeably more elastic and toned, although twelve weeks had not yet passed.
