Clinique City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25, 1.4 fl oz — Lightweight, Mattifying Primer for Sensitive Skin

Clinique City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25 is a lightweight, mineral-based facial sunscreen that shields skin from UVA/UVB rays while mattifying oil and acting as an invisible primer.

This sheer, oil-free formula from Clinique combines physical filters to provide broad-spectrum sun protection without heavy residue or fragrance. Designed to sit comfortably under makeup or be worn alone, it helps control shine and is tested for sensitive skin. The creamy, fast-absorbing texture works as a daily defense to help reduce the visible effects of sun exposure while fitting easily into morning routines.

How does this sunscreen feel on the skin?

The City Block Sheer texture is lightweight and spreads evenly, leaving a nearly invisible finish rather than a white cast. It absorbs excess oil to keep the complexion looking matte and smooth, which makes it comfortable for daily wear. Because it’s oil-free and non-acnegenic, it suits combination and oily skin types that worry about pore clogging.

• Sheer, fast-absorbing cream that blends without residue
• Oil-control ingredients that reduce surface shine
• Non-comedogenic and fragrance-free for minimal irritation

What kind of sun protection does it provide?

Clinique City Block Sheer uses physical (mineral) filters—primarily titanium dioxide and zinc oxide—to deliver broad-spectrum defense against UVA and UVB rays. At SPF 25 it gives everyday protection suitable for city commutes, errands, and indoor sun exposure. For extended outdoor activity or intense sun, pair with higher-SPF products or reapply as needed.

• Broad-spectrum protection using titanium dioxide and zinc oxide
• SPF 25 suitable for daily, incidental sun exposure
• Reapply according to activity and sun intensity for continued coverage

Can I wear it under makeup and on sensitive skin?

Yes—this formula doubles as an invisible primer to help makeup apply smoothly and stay in place. Clinique's product is allergy tested, ophthalmologist tested, and 100% fragrance-free, reducing the risk of irritation for sensitive skin and around the eye area. Its non-acnegenic claim and oil-free base also make it a practical choice for breakout-prone complexions.

• Acts as a lightweight primer for foundation and tinted products
• Fragrance-free, allergy tested, and ophthalmologist tested
• Non-acnegenic and suitable for sensitive skin types

How should I use Clinique City Block Sheer in my routine?

Apply liberally as the last step of your morning skincare routine, after moisturizer and before makeup. Allow a moment to absorb; if you wear makeup, apply foundation or tinted moisturizer on top. Reapply throughout the day when exposed to prolonged sun or after sweating and towel drying.

• Use daily as the final skincare step before makeup
• Apply evenly to face and neck; wait to blend makeup
• Reapply every two hours during extended sun exposure

Who is this for: Clinique City Block Sheer Oil-Free SPF 25 is ideal for anyone seeking a lightweight, mineral-based facial sunscreen that doubles as a primer—especially those with normal, combination, oily, or sensitive skin who want daily broad-spectrum protection without fragrance or heavy texture. It’s a practical pick for city dwellers, office workers, and makeup wearers who prefer a matte, effortless finish.
