I used to use Clinique products for years and years... but then as I got older they just didn't seem to fit as well. My skin is super oily and this never helped the oiliness, it stayed the same.

I have dry combination skin and it made my skin break out and feel oily. How ever I still have some of the older version Dramatically Different Moisturiser Lotion and it doesn't make my skin oily or break out.
Tips: Use very small amounts to try avoid the oily feeling
Being a sufferer of combination skin, I'm always on the lookout for really good moisturisers. I can't say that this one will be a keeper.
I understand that there's a number of factors that can affect our skin, like the makeup we use and hair products, but I found my skin has not improved, or felt hydrated/less oily using this product.
I found it to be a watery consistency - which is up to par with their definition of a moisture "drink". It takes a while for it to settle into the skin - I'd say to give it about 5-10 mins before applying makeup. In the interim though, it feels almost like a gel - a sticky(ish) glaze on your face.
I've had no reactions to this product - my skin accepts it quite well. In saying that, I haven't noticed any difference! My skin isn't softer, smoother, nor improved in anyway. It is much the same as it's ever been. I figured for the price I paid, I could expect a healthier "dramatic" difference. It seems I've boarded the NOPE train.
It's certainly not something I would buy for myself again and its name sort of angers me a little... "Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturiser" - with a plus sign!! Sigh, I wish I could say it was true.
They've been making this moisturiser for decades and it appears they haven't changed the ingredients or packaging. It must have a loyal following, but I reckon moisturisers have come a long way ... it's think and yellow and expensive, and is supposed to be used with toner which people don't really do anymore - remember the old 3 step cleanse, tone, moisturise.. do they still sell that yellow cake of soap in a green container to wash your face? When I was 15 that was the pinnacle of luxury skin care to me :-)
Tips: If you aren't already a loyal user why would you?
Was recommended this when my skin was incredibly oily, I found this actually made my skin dry and tight and didn't moisturise it really at all. would use this if I was desperate but I wouldn't buy it.
Was thrilled to receive a sample, but found it too light, and it did not soak in the skin. It felt like a gel-film on my face, and no amount to rubbing/massaging helped. I did like the size of the sample, which is convenient for the gym bag (which is where it now lives as an emergency back up!)
I think the marketing and superiority of the brand Clinique are the big draw cards to this product. I liked using it because it was Clinique. However as a moisturiser it wasn't anything special, potentially too light? I felt like I needed to apply a second application. If this was in brand-less packaging I think it would be a very ordinary product. It still contains the same list of artificial ingredients as the cheaper brands - I'll stick to Antipodes.
I really wanted to try Clinique moisturizer. I know it sounds silly, but there is something kind of upmarket about it - I felt like there was this club that everyone but me had joined. I wanted in. I mean, look at that packaging! I loved that square bottle and shiny logo.
It was fine, for a while, until my eczema flared up and my skin became particularly sensitive. I broke out in a painful rash and then I just couldn't use it - I had to go out and buy a more 'sensible' moisturizer. Plus, did I mention it was pretty expensive.
It has a good, light consistency, but it was maybe a little too light for me. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone with sensitive skin.
Tips: Fine for normal skin, not so good if you have eczema.
I had high hopes from this one since Clinique marketed it so much. A better version of their iconic dramatically different lotion. I was so confident that I bought the full bottle without even trying it on beforehand. So this one leaves a film on my skin, makes it all shiny. I have dry skin and no moisturiser has done this to me. I use it at night too and sometimes have dry areas on my face next morning! Not happy at all. The original one was so much better. Do they still sell it?
I have used this moisturiser for years but have found in the last few years it does not have the same effect on my skin. As I have got older (now over 50) I need a deeper richer moisturiser so would conclude this product is better on a younger skin.
