Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion + Reviews

I'm a sucker for GWP (if you don't know that already) and whilst shopping in a large Farmers got drawn into a GWP offer when you buy 2 items from Clinique. Having read some excellent reviews and secretly wanting to try this moisturiser out I felt that this was the calling I needed to get it.

The moisturiser comes in a square, chunky, yellow toned bottle with a silver lid pump dispenser which makes getting the liquid out of the bottle easy. Inside the liquid is a nice consistency of a pale yellow tone that quickly absorbs into your skin so you can get on with your skincare quickly. I didn't detect any sense of a fragrance to the liquid at all.

As I said it is quickly absorbed into the skin and a little bit of this moisturiser goes a long way, 1 pump is generally enough to cover my whole face. It is a nice feel moisturiser that leaves your skin feeling soft and not sticky without any residue left behind, but it did seem to be too heavy for my skin and didn't really do anything impressive to my complexion. I have combination skin and found that my oily areas were overly active after using this moisturiser whilst the drier areas were still slightly dry, an improvement but I was expecting so much more from this moisturiser for the price tag.

I tried a 10 day sample of this moisturiser, and in that short time I noticed a big difference. My skin is sensitive, but this really settled it down, and made my skin really smooth and moisturised. It was hard to stop touching my face! The new improved formula is so so much better, it doesn't make my face shiny, or look oily, definitely makes putting on makeup so much nicer, as I'm starting with a smooth base.

Absolutely in love with this moisturiser. So refreshing and soothing from the moment you put it on! Really love how it isn't at all sticky or greasy but leaves your skin feeling soft and silky. Will definitely keep using it, great all round moisturiser.

I have been using this moisturiser for over a year now (the original formula and now the + formula) and I love it as an everyday moisturiser. I need just one pump to cover my whole face and I use it in conjunction with a Clinique toner (Clarifying Lotion 2). When I first started using this I had very dry skin, particularly on my cheeks, nose and chin. This has taken care of that, keeping my skin hydrated and now I would say my skin is normal. I have not had any issues with this causing my T-zone to become oily either. I would prefer if this had an SPF in it however. While this product is expensive compared to others, for the amount of product you get and how much you use per application, one bottle lasts a long time and is in my opinion, worth it.

This is a fantastic moisturiser, can get for different skin types which is great however make sure you get the right one..I got for oily skin and it dried mine out so would go with combination if your not sure.

I love this moisturiser! I am a big fan of Clinique as a brand. They are an amazing brand for sensitive skin and the concept of many of their products is admirable. I thought it was time to try a moisturiser by them, and it exceeded all expectations. Firstly the bottle is quite big and lasts ages. I definitely think its worth the price. It's practicable for travel and hygiene. It has a pump that dispenses the perfect amount of product, with no need for dipping your fingers into the product. The lotion isn't thick or greasy, it absorbs quickly into the skin, with no left over residue. I purchased the lotion in Winter, and my skin was going through a dry stage. My skin was constantly dry, it didn't look plump and hydrated, and putting foundation over top was a nightmare. No amount of moisturiser before makeup could prevent my skin from looking flaky and cakey. After using the Clinique dramatically different moisturising lotion for just a few days, my skin improved a lot. It was plump and hydrated. My skin looked flawless with foundation - no clinging to dry patches or looking cakey. I use the lotion in both my morning and night skincare routine. At night, I would recommend an extra serum or oil, if like me you have particularly dry-prone skin. But for an everyday light non-greasy moisturiser, it is amazing! And definitely provides a noticeable difference in my skin, unlike other light moisturisers I have tried that do nothing.

The bigger one I brought is actually a gel and I was a bit sceptical about it but it's beautiful it glides on so nicely and feels so lightweight. I've got combination skin so have a few dry patches but this seems to help a great deal and my skin has cleared up a bit since I started using it. I will continue on but next time will get the cream I think instead of the gel not that I'm too worried :)

I have quite dry skin and found that this made my skin feel smooth and moisturised without feeling too heavy for a while. I did find that I had to use a night cream at night while using it though as it didn't really seem to last that long. It has a pleasant scent and is very easy to rub in but for really dry skin its probably not quite "enough".
