Clinique Even Better Clinical Brightening Moisturizer with Salicylic Acid, Vitamin C & Glucosamine

Clinique's Even Better Clinical Brightening Moisturizer is a lightweight, oil-free facial moisturizer that hydrates while aiming to visually even out the look of discoloration. Built around a brightening complex, it blends vitamin C with supporting ingredients to address multiple signs of uneven tone, including dark spots, dullness, and redness from irritation. The result can be a smoother feel and a more comfortable look as you go about your day.

Powered by a proprietary CL302 Brightening Complex, this formula combines salicylic acid and glucosamine to support gentle surface exfoliation, while yeast extract helps to diffuse pigment clusters for a more even appearance. Gyokuro extract adds a soothing touch to help calm the skin. The lightweight, oil-free texture is designed to layer well under sunscreen or makeup, delivering hydration without a heavy feel.
