Skincare Meets Foundation. Full Coverage. Matte Finish. SPF25 Protection.

Clinique Even Better Clinical Serum Foundation with Broad Spectrum SPF25 is the groundbreaking hybrid makeup-meets-skincare product that delivers the full coverage and flawless matte finish of a high-performance foundation with the active skin-improving benefits of a clinical serum — all while providing broad-spectrum SPF25 sun protection in one elegant, multitasking formula. Developed by Clinique’s team of dermatologists and makeup scientists, Even Better Clinical is designed for those who want their makeup to do more than simply cover — it should actively work to improve the skin beneath it with every wear. Formulated specifically to address oily skin’s unique challenges — including excess shine, enlarged-looking pores, uneven texture, and makeup longevity — this serum foundation controls oil, minimizes the appearance of pores, and maintains a smooth, matte, camera-ready finish that lasts all day without the heavy, cakey feel that full-coverage foundations can often produce. Allergy-tested. Dermatologist-developed. 100% fragrance-free.

Suggested Use

Apply after your morning skincare routine (moisturizer and/or serum) once products have fully absorbed. Dispense a small amount onto fingertips, a foundation brush, or a damp beauty sponge and blend evenly across the face, starting from the center and blending outward. Build coverage as desired by layering in thin, even applications — the formula is buildable from medium to full coverage without caking. Set with a translucent powder for extended oil control and longevity if desired. For best results on oily skin, use with a mattifying primer underneath. Remove thoroughly at the end of the day with Clinique’s Take The Day Off cleansing balm or a gentle makeup remover. Avoid direct contact with eyes.

Key Features

• Clinical Serum Technology in a Foundation: What distinguishes Even Better Clinical from conventional full-coverage foundations is its integration of clinical serum actives — including Clinique’s Even Better Complex — that actively work to improve the skin’s appearance and health beneath the makeup coverage. These actives target uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, and dullness at the source, helping to visibly even and brighten skin tone with consistent daily wear over time. This means that instead of simply masking skin concerns with coverage, Even Better Clinical simultaneously treats them — making skin look progressively better, even without foundation, with regular use
• Long-Lasting Matte Finish for Oily Skin: Oily skin presents specific makeup challenges — excess sebum production breaks down foundation throughout the day, causing shine, color shift, and deterioration of coverage. Even Better Clinical’s formula incorporates oil-absorbing and sebum-controlling agents that create a smooth, matte base on application and actively control oil breakthrough throughout the day, maintaining the foundation’s fresh, matte appearance for extended wear without the need for constant blotting or touch-ups
• Buildable Full Coverage with Serum Texture: Despite its full-coverage capability, Even Better Clinical achieves its coverage through a serum-weight texture that applies and blends like a lightweight product — comfortable, breathable, and non-occlusive. The coverage is buildable, meaning it can be worn as a lighter, more natural finish for everyday occasions or built up to full, camera-ready coverage for events, photos, or high-coverage needs, all without the heavy, mask-like feeling that plagues many full-coverage foundations
• Broad-Spectrum SPF25 Sun Defense: Incorporating SPF25 sun protection into your foundation provides meaningful daily photoprotection against the cumulative UV exposure that is responsible for the vast majority of visible aging — including the hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, and textural changes that Even Better Clinical’s skincare actives are simultaneously working to address. The combination of daily SPF protection and active skin tone correction makes Even Better Clinical a particularly synergistic product for anyone managing sun-induced pigmentation concerns
