Product details

Clinique City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25 is a lightweight, mineral-based facial sunscreen that shields skin from UVA/UVB rays while feeling weightless and reducing surface oil.

This oil-free, sheer sunscreen is designed to sit invisibly on skin so you can wear it alone or under makeup as a primer. Formulated with physical sun filters, it helps protect sensitive skin without fragrance, and the breathable texture minimizes shine for oily or combination complexions. Dermatologist-guided and ophthalmologist-tested, this daily face protector is built to be gentle on delicate skin while delivering broad-spectrum coverage.

How does this sunscreen protect skin without feeling heavy?

City Block Sheer uses a blend of mineral filters that form a protective layer on the surface of the skin rather than being absorbed. The formula is oil-free and sheer, giving a matte, non-greasy finish that sits comfortably under foundation or on its own.

  • Mineral filters: titanium dioxide and zinc oxide for physical UV defense
  • Sheer texture: designed for invisible coverage and minimal residue
  • Oil-control: lightweight formula helps reduce surface shine

Can I use this product under makeup or as a primer?

Yes—the sheer, non-greasy finish makes it a practical everyday primer. It creates a smooth, protected base so makeup applies evenly while ensuring you don’t skip SPF in your morning routine.

  • Invisible finish: won’t cake or pill beneath foundation
  • Preps skin: helps makeup adhere and last longer
  • Quick absorption: leaves a matte canvas ideal for cosmetics

Is this safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Clinique formulates this face protector with sensitivity in mind: it’s fragrance-free, allergy tested, and non-acnegenic. Ophthalmologist evaluation supports use around the eye area, and the mineral-based UV filters are often better tolerated by reactive skin types.

  • Fragrance-free and allergy tested for reduced irritation risk
  • Non-acnegenic formulation for oily or break-out prone skin
  • Ophthalmologist tested for safe use near eyes

What are the practical benefits for daily use and travel?

This compact 3.4 fl oz tube fits easily into bags and keeps your morning routine simple. It doubles as sun protection and a makeup primer so you carry one multipurpose product instead of several, which is helpful for commuting or trips.

  • Travel-sized 3.4 fl oz tube for convenience
  • Dual-use: sunscreen plus makeup primer reduces product clutter
  • Sheer coverage works across different skin tones without whitening

Who is this for: Clinique City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25 is ideal for people with oily, combination, or sensitive skin seeking a lightweight mineral sunscreen that doubles as a makeup primer. If you want daily broad-spectrum protection in a non-greasy formula that won’t interfere with cosmetics or irritate reactive skin, this product offers a straightforward, dermatologist-guided option for everyday use.
