Replacement for Clinique City Block?

[ChristmasCwtch]

I’ve used the last dregs of the old tinted Clinque City Block ☹️

This new sticky orange sun cream is awful!! Why Clinque, why??!

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a replacement for the tinted version? It was perfect for 20+ years.

Thank you 🙏

I'm waiting with bated breath too - almost at the end of my last tube and trying to make it last!

Me too! Gutted. Is there nowhere that sells it anymore?

Joining the gutted brigade - I too have just cut my last tube open to scrape the dregs out. I've been using it since I was a teen in the late 90s 😫

I've got an Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 (fair), which is OK, but it doesn't sit on the skin in quite the same way. And it's only SPF15.

Erborian cc crème in Clair (or doré if you have a tan or aren't as pale as me!).

It isn't the same thing as city block (which I also have used) as it goes on white and adapts to your skin colour, but for light coverage with SPF I really like it.

Thanks all. I’m going to see how Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser works out!! I’ll report back

Lots of suggestions on my thread. Sadly, I haven’t found one as good/I like/comparatively priced yet.

It's not the same as it's coverage is thicker. That said I use it instead of foundation as it is brilliant. So Clinique I used if I wanted a no make up day with sun protection whilst Laura Mercier I put on for in the office days for example.

I use Ultra Violette for sun block when at home /holiday and when I go to work have started using Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser and am pretty pleased (although still angry at Chanel for discontinuing Kex Beiges tinted moisturiser which was my holy grail)

I don't know how similar it is but I like Elizabeth Arden Prevage City Smart - it's a light textured and tinted sunscreen. It seems to play well with makeup too.

If anyone is interested just managed to order cityblock25 on the Clinique website

Thanks for all of the suggestions.

I’ve just bought Trinny London BFF cream which I really like. I’m using this with a concealer from the same brand (Clinique also discontinued the concealer I’ve been using for 20 years 🤦🏼‍♀️).

The Trinny items are a lot more expensive than Clinique, but my thinking is that I wear my face 24/7 so it’s worth it for something the works 😂

It is a lovely product to use but I stopped using it a few years ago after this thread.

This is fantastic and now stocked in Superdrug: www.superdrug.com/skin/biore/b/401036

This is also very good: www.boots.com/ambre-solaire-super-uv-anti-10291969

I struggled with a replacement too

If its so popular why have they discontinued it? Will they be sending everyone a letter in 5 years saying they effed up? Like Boden did?
