What shoppers say about the Clinique set
Reviewers who have tried the products in the Clinique Icons Skincare Gift Set have left glowing reviews on Boots. One buyer of the All About Eyes Eye Cream said: "I have used this Clinique eye cream for so many years, and can't imagine ever not using it. I think it is the best ever. I am also very sensitive to creams and have dry eye and have never had a problem with this eye cream. I use it daily."
Another praised the High Impact Mascara: "Really good quality mascara and stays in all day. The quality you would expect from Clinique." A third said of the All About Clean Liquid Facial Soap: "This is my go-to face wash. I purchased the travel size for an upcoming holiday. The product is gentle and cleansing and leaves my skin fresh and clean yet not dehydrated. Great product."
However, one shopper struggled with the bottle that the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ comes in, leaving four stars and saying: "Have difficulty getting lotion out of bottle, I thought I ordered tube." Another gave the High Impact Mascara four stars, noting: "Looking at some of the reviews after I'd placed my order I thought I'd made a mistake, however the mascara is great as an everyday mascara. I wouldn't call it 'High Impact' but it serves a purpose for me and applies well."
