Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion + Reviews

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.

I love clinique brand ,but that moisturizer are something amazing. I have really oily skin ,but I still need use moisturiser and that cream keeps my skin fresh and hydrated . And you only need use little bit.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have very dry skin amd i got this as a trai pack with the cleanser and toner.

I like that i made my skin feel so much better moist clean hydraited the list can go on. Can wait to try it with the id

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 :)

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 was really surprised at how rich in moisture this really is as usually when they claim they are they are often no different to regular moisturiser or even a little watery but this one actually lives up to its hype. It's light and hydrating and even this combination/oily skin battler is a fan, especially right now as my skin is taking it hard with the heat and air conditioning. I highly recommend this if it's in your price range as it truly is a great product, I would love to be able to give it a 5/5, I can't though because it lacks a SPF unfortunately but nevertheless it's still great.
