    Between work, home, kids and play, life’s all about smart multi-tasking, so it’s good to know there’s skincare that works every bit as hard as you do

    This is a Marie Claire Promotion Between work, home, kids and play, life's all about smart multi-tasking, so it's good to know there's skincare that works every bit as hard as you do.

    Nikki Cooper, founder of InnerMe.co.uk, and freelance wedding photographer Anna Butcher, who set up Anna B Photography, both juggle running their businesses alongside motherhood and have little time to spend on skincare.

    That's what made them perfect candidates to put Clinique Smart™ Custom Serum and the new Smart Custom Eye Treatment to the test. Research revealed an impressive 81% of women agree that Clinique Smart Custom Serum made their skin look younger* but what did our testers think? Watch these short videos to find out...

    As well as running a successful business, Nikki is a mother of two and often finds herself short on time in the mornings. ‘My busy lifestyle has a real impact on my skin so it's really important that my products can multi-task like me. I don't have time to use lots of different products so Clinique Smart Custom Serum is an absolute godsend for me,' she says.

    Anna agrees, ‘Rather than using lots of different products, Clinique Smart Custom Serum works and multi-tasks on my skin to give me the best results –for me.'

    Life's too short to worry about ageing, so it's great to discover new generation skincare that delivers all you need. Clinique's Smart Custom Serum and newly launched Custom Eye Treatment both answer four common beauty concerns in one – to smooth wrinkles, even skin tone, lift and brighten your complexion.
