"This is the Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Balm in the shade Popping Pink. It looks a little bit wild on the back of my hand, but on the face it is so pretty. I'm just going to take this and tap it onto the apples of my cheeks, just for a fresh little hint of pink."

"Clinique Chubby Stick Intense in the color Roomiest Rose. I actually just found this a couple of days ago, and I can't stop wearing it, because even if I'm not wearing makeup, which I'm not doing a lot right now, I still look relatively put together."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
