LizzyIngredients Clinique City Block Sheer SPF 25
Hi Dr. Pickart,
Are these ingredients of the Clinique City Block Sheer SPF 25 safe?
I have a feeling that they differ slightly from the Clinique's Super City Block Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25 as adviced on your site as an additonal suntanning option.

Dr. PickartI cannot see anything bad about it.
It looks like they used most of the chemicals in their lab.
Sodium hyaluronate can wet and damage the skin but it looks like they have only a very small amount in the product.
