Night Time User

I have been using this on my face at night for about 4 months now and I like it but can't justify the price of it. It makes my skin feel nice and silky but I'd rather spend less and find something else

Not good for sensitive skin

I really liked this product and I found it very moisturising however if I had a really dry patch it would sting when I applied it. I would not recommend this product for anybody with sensitive skin or dry patches, or people with skin conditions. For the price you definitely get a lot of product.

Preferred the Old Formula

I had been using this for years,a dn recently, they changed the formula, not sure if it's just my fussy skin, but it doesn't like this one as much. This one doesn't settle into my skin as well and I find leaves a residue. I re-gifted to my mother however and she loved it. Maybe my combination skin is not as well suited.

Tips: Mosturisers, reading reviews is hard, I find it best to find a blogger that has similar skin type (you should be able to tell when you find you use similar products and have the same 'holy grails' - then stick with their recommendations

Not blown away but it

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.

Clinique Dramatically Different Moist

This moisturiser is ok, I never have got a wow feeling when using this. I found that I needed to use a serum to get the extra hydration to see me thru to the end of the day when wearing make-up. It did leave my skin feeling comfortable after applying and half way thru the day, but I noticed the busier I was the more my skin seemed to tighten, which I have not experienced with other moisturisers. I just felt that this didn't really do much for my skin or live up to the 'Moisture drink" claim. I have normal skin with a oily t zone, so thought this product would be suitable for my skin. Even though is was ok, I felt it did the same as a moisturiser that I could buy from the supermarket for $15. The packaging is simple but easy to use. The pump is awesome so you never use too much product and very hygienic.

All in all it is ok, would I buy again... on the fence.

Good Clinique Moisturizer, No Dramatic Difference

I bought a tiny deluxe bottle of this. The first few times I used it, it didn't seem to provide my skin with enough hydration under my sunscreen and we weren't in the middle of winter. Since it is a light lotion I tried applying two thin layers and it worked much better to balance and hydrate my skin. My skin didn't get as oily and didn't feel as dry. I think I have liked it a lot more that way and my skin must have adjusted to it as I've gone back to one layer of it and it seems to be enough hydration. I didn't have any breakouts from using this and it was comfortable to wear once my skin adjusted better. It absorbs quickly which is something I really like about it. The little 15ml deluxe bottle has lasted me for weeks so a full-sized bottle is going to last you a really long time. However, I won't be repurchasing because I was a bit underwhelmed by something that was hyped to be amazing and give a dramatic difference. I think it probably was amazing but other brands of moisturizers have also come a long way and you can probably get something with a similar feel and hydration for less.

Tips: This is a light lotion so if one layer doesn't give enough moisture, try patting in another thin layer.

Dramatically disappointed

Im keen to try most beauty products out there especially well known brands and products. This is one of those products that people seemed to rave about. One day I needed top up up my supplies so I went to the Clinique counter at Riccarton mall - when they had a free gift with purchase of course. So I ventured away from my usual moisturiser and tried this.

It's only ok.. is all I can say about that actual product itself. The packaging is on point - the presentation, colour, bottle, pump are all great features but that is where it stops.

The actual fluid is pumped easily from the bottle and a nice consistency until I spread it on my skin. It is just so thin. It really doesn't spread easily or far at all. I feel like it barely covers my skin and hence I feel it doesn't make my skin feel moisturised. The rest of the 3 step system is good (depending on the system that's right for your skin) but the moisturiser at the end doesn't replenish my skin which is what I feel it needs after the thorough cleaning step 1 & 2 provide.

For the price I paid I would expect more from this so I definitely recommend using a trial sample first. As you use quite a few squirts to get full coverage.

Tips: - use a trial set first from the Clinique counter. - wait for a free gift with purchase to make it more worth your while.

Nice and creamy

It's a nice moisturiser. It's a cute bottle and well presented. Perhaps a little overpriced for the size though. I got this in a 3 step system and the whole system was ok. I feel like for a moisturiser I need something a little stronger that packs a few more anti aging ingredients.. if I'm spending that kind of money.

A nice creamy moisturiser that isn't greasy. It's fairly light to apply and not sticky. Pale yellow and I found I needed two pumps at a time per application.. so I did use this fast.

I think it's ok but it's not amazing. No dramatic difference compared to a $10-15 supermarket brand moisturiser I have used so the hunt continues for something that will amaze me and really pack a punch with the moisturiser and anti aging effects.

Tips: Try a tester before you buy.

Redness be gone - maybe

I was first brought into this product whilst in the search for coverage that was light and colour neutralising, for my rosacea. With its expensive price tag I had high hopes. After using it for a month I had thought some redness to be covered but it seemed to be the opposite, I had more people commenting on how red my skin looked and whether I had been put in the wind or perhaps sunburnt. The light texture makes it easy to use and pump bottle dispenses a good amount. I think if you are looking for coverage for the red, look toward a more neutralising tone such as a green under tone, verses yellow as this did very little for my redness. Moisturising wise it was very good for giving a good amount of burst and hydration. Can be used under make up with no concern of run off.

Tips: Consider your skin tone and if a more neutral base is in your favour

Clinique Dramatically Different

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".
