Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Face Serum — 1.7 fl oz, Peptides + Advanced Retinoid & Hyaluronic Acid

Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Serum is a fast-acting anti-aging face serum that repairs, resurfaces, and replumps skin using peptides, an advanced retinoid, and hyaluronic acid.

This lightweight, fragrance-free formula combines targeted actives to address visible lines, texture and hydration in one daily serum. Clinique positions this as its most advanced dermal-active serum, blending 9.5% peptide complexes, 1% advanced retinoid, and hyaluronic acid to support skin strength, accelerate renewal, and restore moisture. The non-irritating, dermatologist-tested formula is designed for all skin types and tones and can be used morning and night as part of a preventative or corrective routine.

How does this serum reduce the look of wrinkles?

The serum works on multiple visible signs at once: peptides support structural resilience, the retinoid helps refine surface texture, and hyaluronic acid draws in moisture to soften fine lines. Over time, users can expect smoother-looking skin with improved tone and fewer noticeable creases.

• 9.5% peptide complex to strengthen skin and improve elasticity
• 1% advanced retinoid to encourage cell turnover and smoother texture
• Hyaluronic acid for immediate and lasting hydration
• Fragrance-free and dermatologist-tested to minimize irritation

Can I use this serum with other products in my routine?

The formula is intended to integrate into morning and evening skincare routines. Apply after cleansing and before moisturizer; if using other strong actives (like exfoliating acids), introduce the serum gradually to monitor tolerance. Use SPF during daytime when combining with retinoids.

• Layer onto clean skin, then follow with moisturizer and sunscreen in the AM
• Introduce slowly if pairing with chemical exfoliants to reduce sensitivity
• Suitable for use under makeup thanks to its lightweight texture
• Works well alongside Clinique’s other Smart Clinical Repair products for a targeted regimen

What results should I expect and how soon?

Visible improvement depends on skin starting point and consistency of use. The formula aims to smooth texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and enhance plumpness over weeks with regular application. Clinical testing cited comparable visible improvements to a single microablative laser treatment after sustained twice-daily use.

• Immediate: improved hydration and softer-feeling skin
• Short term (weeks): smoother texture and reduced look of fine lines
• Longer term: more resilient-looking skin with continued use
• Clinically tested for visible results when used as directed

How should I apply the serum for best results?

Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin once or twice daily, avoiding direct eye contact. Press gently into face and neck until absorbed, then follow with moisturizer; use sunscreen in the morning. If new to retinoids, start with nightly use every other night and build tolerance.

• Use on clean face and neck, morning and/or evening
• Start gradually if you have sensitive skin—alternate nights first
• Always apply sunscreen during daytime use due to retinoid activity
• Store at room temperature; discard if formula changes color or scent

Who is this for: Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Serum is suited to anyone seeking a science-driven anti-aging serum that targets lines, texture and hydration without added fragrance. It fits well for first-time retinoid users who want a formulated, dermatologist-tested option as well as for experienced skincare users building a targeted repair routine.
