I really like the Clinique brand. I know they are on the expensive but I am a real sucker for their products. I bought this as part of a promotional offer at Boots and I have to say I am really impressed with it! This Clinique Turnaround Concentrate was really nice on my skin.
The cream is meant to brighten up your skin and give you a more even appearance by using exfoliants which continually resurface the skin.
I always feel that in the winter months my skin always looks a little dreary and not quite as fresh as it normally does. I started using this about October time and I really think it has improved my skin over the festive months! The central heating normally plays havoc with my skin when we have it on, but I really think this cream made a difference and brightened it up.
The directions of use are to apply it twice daily before your moisturiser. Although it comes in a quite small 30ml bottle, to use it twice a day means you are using quite a lot quite quickly, but since the liquid is quite runny you don't have to apply much each time you use it. It probably won't last this long but it has a great long shelf life of 24 months once opened.
The lotion is really easy to apply. It is aided by the pump lid that you just push down in order to get the lotion out (saves you trying to put a lid back on with sticky fingers!) The lotion didn't irritate my skin in the slightest, but was actually really gentle and on top of that it also moisturised my skin. It also it quickly absorbed in to the skin so you can apply your moisturiser right afterwards.
The cost of the lotion is £30 for 30ml. It is available at a lot of the high street stores such as Boots, Debenhams and John Lewis. It is also widely available on the internet, so there is no trouble trying to get a hold of .
The bottle is an attractive design in a nice blue/green coloured plastic. It has a large silver 'C' on the front of it and 'Clinique' written underneath that. It has a silver lid with a pump, but it is also possible to unscrew the lid completely. The lotion itself is quite runny and white in colour. It is also 100% fragrance free which I quite liked because I am quite picky about some of the smells of cosmetics!
All in all I would say this was a fantastic product. I would highly recommend it, especially for people who feel like their skin looks a little tired. I know its expensive but I really feel like it worked for me.

I managed to pick up a bottle of this at my local car boot for about £3 and I was quite impressed with it. Not sure if I would buy it at full price though! x
