Fall is my favorite season in New York, though it’s pretty short. It consists of October and maybe half of November before full-on freezing cold winter begins and I need to bust out my wind-proof skin care regimen. But, I find hydration of medium intensity is harder to identify in the beauty space. The world is your oyster if you’re looking for super light oil free formulas or, at the other end of the spectrum:  rich, anti-aging or deeply moisturizing creams.

Like short sleeved cashmere sweaters and McDonalds Snack Wraps (seriously, WHEN is a good time for either of those things?), there is a relatively short window of time for this moisturizer, but within that window, it’s absolutely perfect. Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20* for me, is the perfect in-between consistency. It’s a thick cream, but not heavily laden with oils and absorbs well, quickly. The after effect (i.e., it doesn’t SIT on top of my skin) is pleasant and makes for an excellent medium hydrator. I find its claim that it erases past damage a bit bold. The actual skin-tone evening effects are visible after using the cream for a few weeks, though they’re minimal. That said, as an SPF infused moisturizer for all your medium hydration needs, it’s aces.

Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20 retails for $42.50.
