Clinique Moisture Surge 72h Auto Replenishing Hydrator Reviews

I got given one of these as a gift when I started flying as your skin tends to get drier when flying and after I finished I repurchased one but BIGGER. This product glides on the skin, makes my skin feel dewy and hydrated , as i fly for a living I do my best to try keep my skin moisturised and hydrated and feel like this product has really done that for me, I really love this product - only downside is that it can be a little pricey but there is a reason Clinque has been a long-standing brand - it’s products are great!

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.

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 borrowed a little of this moisturiser from a friend and immediately went out and bought it for myself. I've always been a supermarket-brands girl when it comes to moisturisers, so the price point was definitely a cringe factor and I'm rationing it out as carefully as I can!

Fortunately, a little goes a long way, though I did find my skin adjusting and requiring a little more after a couple of weeks of use.

I love that this moisturiser is very effective while still leaving my skin feeling like skin rather than feeling oily or slippery. I've also noticed a little less acne, and when I went back to my trusty Olay for a day I broke out immediately, so I definitely feel like the Clinique is better for my skin.

This moisturiser is really refreshing, it has a gel-like consistency and a little goes a long way. I only had a sample tube, but it lasted ages. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave any tacky or greasy residue. My face feels nicely moisturised for the day (I wouldn't say 72 hours) when using it, but I still prefer my Tatcha Water Cream over this.

Despite the name giving the impression that this is a thick, hydrating moisturiser, it's relatively thin and thirst quenching. It doesn't leave any sticky film or feel too heavy, yet it really hydrates and plumps up the skin. An amazing option for those who need that extra bit of moisture but don't want a heavy cream weighing down the face. I personally loved using this as a primer before foundation as it gave a really smooth finish to my face!

I love the pink touch of Clinique’s moisture surge products, and I love the cooling sensation of this gel on my face... especially when my face goes warm and pink when tired. My favourite is to use this gel as a night time moisturiser to keep my skin nice and hydrated through the night. I’m not really sure about the 72hrs hydration behind the scenes.. since I can’t really tell.. but my skin definitely survived overnight that’s for sure. My skin didn’t feel thirsty or dehydrated when i woke up the next morning, but soft, awake, and ready for another busy day ahead.

I loved the lightness and smoothness of this gel.. and definitely will try it again, but probably not too soon.. as it’s not affordable for everyone.
