A custom repair serum that targets your skin s exact needs. New Clinique Smart It will create a more even skin tone, address lines and wrinkles, or fi rming. As needed, where needed. Here s how Janet Pardo, head of Clinique s Product Development, describes our new Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum: The idea of custom repair required a formula that could understand that every skin has a different history, and therefore different repair needs. In other words, targeted repair. We know that all skin has damage you see, and damage you don t. And this damage sends a specifi c signal. This is true of all skin, all ages, all ethnicities. Our job was to create a serum that took its cue from the signal. It s as if this serum was created for one skin in the world. Yours. Our top scientists. 5 years of research. Patented technology. Give your skin what it needs to be great at any age. Powerful ingredients and calming soothers. The Clinique Smart way of repair. Botanicals to calm. Powerful anti-irritants, including a red algae extract, blanket skin with soothers so there s natural energy for visible repair. Skin-strengthening extracts. An extract from leaves of the Siegesbeckia Orientalis plant helps skin maintain natural collagen. A fi nal word on best results. Janet offers this word of wisdom: Always use as directed. For Clinique Smart, that means twice a day after your cleansing routine, but before you apply moisturiser and SPF. We suggest one of our targeted moisturisers like Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20 for dark spots, Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturizer for lines and wrinkles or Repairwear Uplifting Firming Cream for fi rming. Miracles rarely happen. Two weeks is only a hint of the change that comes at twelve weeks. Time and discipline will help bring visible change. We say Clinique Smart creates your best skin ever.

It was so refreshing that it didn t all come down to appearances. A more feminist approach is ground-breaking in a market dominated by unrealistic expectations, and the article Celebrating the modern muse honoured strong, independent women. I have an impressionable 14-year-old at home and generally stay away from glossy magazines depicting unreal-looking women, mainly because, thankfully, they have no bearing on our ordinary lives. However, I ll certainly be looking for Marie Claire on the shelves in future. Thank you for fi lling the gap. Keep up the great work!
