“Here’s the chance to virtually undo the visible evidence of sun damage, dark patches, age spots, even acne scarring. Gently. For all ethnicities”. So says the promotional material for Clinique’s Even Better Tone Corrector and makeup.
“Not even a leading prescription ingredient is faster in creating a more even skin tone”. Sounds too good to be true. Also sounds like it might be risky for rosacea sufferers. Anything that effective is surely going to be too harsh for rosacea sufferers right ? Time will tell whether this latest release from Clinique will join the Redness Solutions in the cosmetic counter’s rosacea push.
Here is the advertisement that appeared in the proceedings from the recent AAD meeting in Florida. Even though this product was introduced in 2008 it is noteworthy that Clinique are currently promoting it directly to physicians.
