I love love love Clinique products, so have been using three different products from the Moisture Surge range.
This intense hydrator really does lock in the moisture. If feels like it is creating a cocoon across your face, with all the natural moisture being kept underneath the barrier of the hydrator cream.
For me, this was too intense. I definitely have dry patches on my face, but I also have a super oily T-Zone. So now the jar is sitting on my dressing table with other Moisture Surge products (the lightweight moisture surge gel is awesome for combination skin) and not being used to its full potential.
I remember in introduced to this product 10 years ago by a friend who had noticed my make up never sat nicely over my moisturiser. To have nice make up i would go without moisturiser but then I was left with dry, dull skin.
This was a game changer. The gel formula allows the product to quickly sink into your skin and not leave a greasy residue that reacts badly with ingredients of foundations.
A little goes a long way and it's a quality product backed by good science and research.
