Good for dry skin

I purchased this initially for my day moisturiser but ended up using it as a night moisturiser as it is rather heavy and I don't have overly dry skin. I do like this for a night cream but it takes a while to absorb and leaves your face a bit oily for a while. It does last a long time for the price, I only need to use one pump to moisturise my whole face and it has lasted me ages! I use the gel as a day cream instead as I prefer to use a lighter moisturiser that absorbs quickly to do my makeup in the morning.

Tips: Perfect for dry skin or as a night cream but recommend the gel for oilier skin types or a day cream.

Fantastic Moisturiser

This is a moisturiser I have used for a few years now and living at the beach I have tried a lot of moisturisers. It is a deep, rich texture that just slides into the skin and is not greasy.

Tips: Use daily :)

Classic moisturizer

This iconic yellow lotion is part of the three-step skin care regime invented by Clinique. It doesn't have much of a fragrance and it doesn't break out my skin. It's a medium weight. It doesn't feel very heavy and it absorbs into the skin fairly quickly. That being said, I've had moisturizers that absorb in less than five minutes but this takes about a good 10 for me. I did not use it as part of the three-step, so this could be why absorbtion was a little slow.

The moisturizer is the third step, and before it, comes cleansing and toning based on your skin type. You could probably use your own cleanser and toner. This moisturizer very comfortable on my skin.

It will relieve any tightness you have and does what it supposed to do. The reason I don't give it more stars, is because it is a classic without much change. It seems to be the same formula that I used in the early 90s. To me, others companies research and development have gone beyond this formulation. There are probably better moisturizers by Clinique out there than this one. I think it is still so popular because it is a classic. If you need a no frills basic moisturizer, then this is the one for you.

Tips: Try this with Clinique's other two steps based on your skin type from a consultation with one of their representatives for best results. Apply this before powder foundation so that the powder melts into your skin.

Reliable classic

DDM, as it is affectionately known by its fans, is the star of the Clinique 3-step system. I have used this moisturiser many times since first discovering it in the 90s. I hate the rest of the system as I just find the soap and toner waaaay too drying. This I keep coming back to when my skin is in need as I know I can always rely on it.

DDM+ is more moisturising than the standard DDM and aimed at drier skins. I picked a deluxe mini of this up when my skin was extremely dry due to medication. Despite being a more heavy duty moisturiser, it still feels like a light lotion, just the same as the classic DDM. It is quickly absorbed into the skin. It does leave a light layer on the skin but it doesn't feel filmy at all.

This is a really good basic moisturiser but this in itself does make it quite pricey. It just doesn't have the thrills or high tech ingredients of other moisturisers in the same price band. Because if this, it isn't something I use regularly but would use again when my skin is in need of some first aid. On the plus side you don't need a lot so a full size bottle will last you ages.

Good sized

I purchased this product at Mecca I like the component, looks like a glass bottle but is plastic with a pump. It's a light liquid to cream product that has alight absorbency. Leaving my skin moisturised but not oily slick. It's quite nice for spring time when the weather changes. It says can be used both am and pm. However I found it more useful for am use under my sunscreen and primer then make up. It was light and didn't interfere because of the layering. However for pm I did have to cha ge it up because its such a light moisturiser I didn't feel I was getting the luxury of a night creme. The size is great but the price is high too which made me think twice about buying again because although it was good it want fantastic enough for me to go out repurchase ASAP. The down fall of the pump is you can't get all of the product out of the bottle so there some sitting there waiting to be used even when tipping upside down.

Tips: Use in warmer months if your skin changes during winter as this doesn't provide enough moisture if your skin is dry.

Enjoying the new formula

I think the updated formula is richer and more moisturizing, which suits my skin. It absorbs easily after my toner. The pump dispenser is great! ....no mess, no fuss. I often use this lotion in two layers - let the first layer absorb, and then apply another thin layer to extra dry patches. This gives me more longlasting hydration. Its a great summer moisturizer as its texture is quite light. It is expensive but it really does suit my summer skin. No SPF but my foundations contain sunscreen, so I don't worry too much about that.

Tips: No SPF content, so make sure if you extend this lotion use this onto your decolletage (as I do) that you layer sunscreen on top.

Clinique Moisturiser

I liked this product but didn't love it. It is great for a nice light moisturiser, but for me I need something more especially at night time. If I am in a rush and need to put my makeup on I find this good as it absorbs quickly and is nice and light. Not my go to, every day product though.

Not my favourite product from Clinique

The name is Dramatically different but I do not really find it is very different other moisturisers of the middle-range end. I did expect a higher-end quality/effects for the price. It works well as a moisturiser but on hot days it gives me a little heavy/oily feeling. It might work better with dry skin but I do not feel it's the best for combination/oily cases like mine. The biggest turn-off for me to reuse this again is probably the price. I actually spent 60$ on a Moreish set which I felt really happy purchasing
