Clinique City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25 — Mineral Sunscreen & Invisible Primer, 3.4 fl oz

Clinique City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25 is a lightweight, mineral-based facial sunscreen that protects against UVA/UVB rays while absorbing excess oil and doubling as an invisible makeup primer.

This sheer, oil-free formula blends titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to provide physical sun protection in a weightless finish. Designed for everyday use, it slips smoothly under makeup or stands alone to help keep skin protected and shine-controlled. The fragrance-free, allergy-tested formula is created with sensitive skin in mind and follows Clinique’s dermatologist-guided approach to safe, non-comedogenic skincare.

How will this sunscreen fit into my morning routine?

Use City Block Sheer as the final step in your skincare routine before makeup application. Its thin, transparent texture layers easily over moisturizers and serums, creating a light barrier that reduces oiliness without leaving a white cast.

• Apply after moisturizer and any treatments.
• Blends invisibly under foundation or worn alone.
• Helps control shine throughout the day.

What kind of sun protection does this product provide?

This is a broad-spectrum physical (mineral) sunscreen that uses titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to shield skin from UVA and UVB exposure. The SPF 25 level offers everyday protection recommended by skincare experts for routine outdoor exposure.

• Mineral filters reflect and scatter UV radiation.
• SPF 25 for daily, non-extreme sun exposure.
• Broad-spectrum coverage for UVA and UVB rays.

Is this suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Clinique formulates City Block Sheer to be gentle: it is allergy tested, 100% fragrance-free, ophthalmologist tested, and labeled non-acnegenic. The oil-free texture is intended to minimize pore-clogging and feel comfortable on skin prone to oiliness or sensitivity.

• Fragrance-free to reduce irritation risk.
• Oil-free, non-comedogenic for acne-prone skin.
• Tested for allergies and eye safety.

How does this product interact with makeup and other skincare products?

City Block Sheer works as an invisible primer that smooths skin and allows makeup to adhere evenly. It is lightweight enough to layer under foundation without pilling and can replace a separate primer step for those who prefer a streamlined routine.

• Acts as a primer to improve makeup application.
• Compatible with most moisturizers, serums, and foundations.
• Leaves a sheer finish that won’t interfere with color or texture.

Who is this for: Clinique City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25 is aimed at people seeking a no-frills, dermatologist-guided mineral sunscreen that balances broad-spectrum sun protection with oil control. It’s a practical choice for those with oily, combination, or sensitive skin who want a lightweight, fragrance-free SPF that doubles as a primer for everyday wear.
