Clinique Superdefense SPF moisturizer question

"the Wicked Witch" <Wic...@gmail.com>
Okay, two questions:
1) Has anyone tried the normal skin or oilier skin versions of the new
Superdefense Triple Action moisturizer with SPF25? Rants? Raves?
Opinions of any kind?
2) Does anyone know what the sunscreen ingredients are? I have not been
able to find that info on Clinique's site. I suppose now I should go
email Clinique and ask, and I will... but usually a.f. replies are so
much faster and more informative! :)
Many TIA!

I tried samples that were out at Marshall Field's; one felt so much
lighter to me (the oiler skin version) that I couldn't decide what to
buy. I've got a sample of the normal to dry version now that I think
came with a gwp (a friend picked it up for me). It leaves a little slip
on the skin, but on me that's a good thing–– anything for really oily
skin can leave me "wrinkly" looking if that makes sense, probably
because I like powder foundation so much. If I still have the card that
came with the gwp, so I'll post if it lists the sunscreen.
Hope that helps a little!

Thanks! I have a little sample card too, but it doesn't have any
ingredients listed on it.
But, I emailed Clinique and got a response with the full ingredients
listed for each of the 3 formulae. The info I was interested in was
what sunscreens it contained. Specifically I wanted to know what it had
in it for UVA. It's avobenzone, 3%, in all three, in case anyone else
wondered. I'm not totally trusting of that one as it doens't seem as
effective IME, but I will probably use the little sample, at least,
just for curiosity's sake. Just not on a day when I anticipate a lot of
sun exposure.

also there is the octinoxate 7.4% and oxybenzone 2%.. along with the
avobenzone.. all are chemical sunblocks
