New Product Alert: Clinique Continuous Rescue Antioxidant Moisturizer

I read something interesting about Clinique the other day: Did you know that its ad campaign has followed the same format from day one? With the exception of the Happy campaign, Clinique almost always chooses a white background and a beauty shot of the product. I like the consistent nature of the ads, but I like new products even more. And this one sounds like something I'd like to try.

Continuous Rescue Antioxidant Moisturizer ($39.50) is a new three-piece line of facial moisturizers. The formula has eight antioxidants, some of which are immediately active, while others have a delayed release. The idea is that antioxidants fight free radicals that cause aging, and this moisturizer-available for dry, combination, and oily skin-will constantly deliver the good stuff.

I'm planning to sample this the next time I head to the Clinique counter, but the absence of SPF makes me a little hesitant to buy it. (Another skin care step in the morning? Too much!) But it is a good reminder to eat more antioxidant-rich foods such as blueberries. If you need a healthy weekend treat, check out this fish dish, which won Clinique's contest for antioxidant-rich recipes.

Beauty Byte: Clinique to the Rescue!

After discovering my new Clinique eye cream, and still loving it btw, I am psyched for Clinique's newest moisturizer: Continuous Rescue Antioxidant Moisturizer, to hit counters in March. This is considered a basic moisturizer that contains eight rapid and delayed-release antixodants that are supposed to help defuse free radicals before they have the chance to cause skin damage - doesn't sound so basic to me!

This product will be available in three skin type formulas: one for dry skin, one for dry/combination skin and one for combination/oily to oily skin.

So why buy this new Clinique moisturizer? According to Beth Spruance, vice president of global treatment marketing:

"We see this product for a customer who wants to maintain strong and healthy skin and prevent premature aging."
