Happily received such a 15ml generous sample as GWP from my Clinique haul. According to Clinique, the Repairwear Contour Firming Formula fueled by unique Retinol/Peptide Complex, multiplies skin’s capacity to generate structural type 1 collagen, which is important to support dermis elasticity.
I must admit the consistency is great for combination skin. Lightweight and moisturizing, dewy gel-cream, drink up quickly if apply sheerly, keep face smooth and shine free. Skin feels refreshing cool upon application, may be a little tightness but it will not moisture sufficiently when skin is prone to dryness.
Due to certain ingredients, my broken capillaries appears extremely visible in few days, leading the face proned to redness easily despite I wore sunblock diligently and limited sun exposure as Clinique advised. On the other side, I also noticed skin had slightly brighten up. Regret those potent anti-aging ingredients like retinol, AHA… are usually too harsh to my sensitive skin for daily use. For that particular reason, I only able to use this on neck since Clinique claims it define, sculpt, contour.
After a month when I used-up the cream sample, I’ve not noticed any visible improvement on my neck. May be those with no sensitive skin has better luck than me can verdict long-term use result. Normal retail price of Repairwear Contour Firming Formula is 3200 baht for 50ml in Thailand.

Hi Simonne,
Thanks for dropping by.
I think Clinique is quite generous with sample, and Clinique here usually has those small container that the sales assistant will fill the product for you to try at home. Or, try the product on your inner hand or below chin, see if there is any redness after an hour. If redness occurs, most probably the product will not suit your skin. This is what I usually do, hope the tips will be helpful to you.
Have a nice day!
