Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Serum

$80
Paraben-Free Sulfate-Free Fragrance-Free Silicone Polysilicone-11, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Dimethicone PEG PEG-6, Polysorbate 80, PEG-10 Dimethicone, PEG-8, Polysorbate-20

This serum pairs Clinique's peptide blend with hydroxypinacolone retinoate, a gentler retinoid ester, to work on deeper wrinkles without the irritation some people get from traditional retinol. Ascorbyl glucoside adds a vitamin C boost for tone, and sodium hyaluronate keeps skin from feeling tight. The texture is silicone-forward and lightweight, meant to sit under a moisturizer rather than replace one.
