Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion + Reviews

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.

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 began using the 3 step Clinique range earlier in the year. Unfortunately for me I had a reaction to it (which was weird because I am not allergic to anything and do not have sensitive skin) I was lucky that they refunded my money but was still surprised as they do pride themselves on being okay for sensitive skin and allergy tested.... I wish I hadn't had a reaction though as I feel I would have loved this moisturizer, it was light on my skin and absorbed really well. Wouldn't recommend it for sensitive skin however.

I originally used this moisturiser before it changed. The new moisturiser does not agree with my skin. It feels slimy and sits on my skin and does not absorb as well as the old one. I went in to see a Clinique specialist at Farmers and she told me that the old one was not coming back and that this was the right product for my skin. I continued using this product for a couple of months but realised that it definitely was not the right product for me.

I have combination skin, during winter, my cheeks get really dry and flaky, not that I was expecting this product to work miracles but it did absolutely nothing for me. It made me T-zone more oily and my cheeks continues to shed skin (yuck!). The formula is quite light, so I would expect this to work better on those who have normal skin I guess.

This moisturizer is always on the list of cult classics however, I personally feel it's extremely overrated. I find this moisturizer really oily and whenever I've used it I've ended up with clogged pores and really noticeable oily skin. My skin does tend to be on the oily side anyway so perhaps this is better for people with dry skin. This seems to be a product that really polarizes people - you either love it or hate it! At the end of the day, there are much better moisturizers out there for a lower price

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.

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.
