Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream SPF 30 Reviews

This product is amazing! one shade fits all! Once applied in a few minutes you see it working its magic making your skin all one color hiding any skin pigmentation!

I am really happy with the outcome of this product. I purchased it looking for a something cheaper than my Estee Lauder Double Wear BB Cream and I am glad I opted for this. It has a quite a thick consistency and because of this can be quite hard to blend in, so I have to ensure I blend it really well. But once I do I find that it gives me great coverage and even conceals my redness really well. I do however find that it wears off as the days goes on, which is why I only use it for day to day wear. I like how it comes in a tube like packaging as it makes it really easy to get exactly the right amount out. I also find that it doesn't dry out my skin as I find lots of products do.

I was talked into this CC cream when I went into my local Beauty shop, when I was looking to buy a new foundation..

Firstly I love All the clinique products that I aready have so was expecting this to be just as good, unfortunately it is not. I was colour matched in the shop but when I went to use my one I found it quite dark on my pale skin even though it's the lightest shade available.

This product comes in a pink upside tube which I love as you can squeeze out the right amount you need. I have applied this with a foundation brush, a foundation sponge and the good old finger and each time gave me the same result, a patchy mess!!!

I found this didn't blend into my skin and just sat on my skin it didn't look nice at all and it definitely didn't give me any coverage. I have dry skin so really disappointed it didn't work for me, I Would not reccomend this and will not be using this again.

I love the texture, It feels light yet creamy on my skin, and it almost feels like my skin is 'drinking' it in leaving my skin looking glowy healthy and beautiful. If you like a natural, glowy, dewy look -this might be the product for you. I use the light and it lets my skin tone come through and definitely stays dewy throughout the day. While it is not full coverage it covers flaws and is very flattering. If you are trying to hide brown pigmentation spots like me this doesn’t quiet cover them, but will just sort of even things out a little. On a good skin day I wore it alone and with Cliniques even better foundation on other days

There is no fragrance that I could pick up, and I really like the sleek packaging. It's convenient and hygienic and I had no worries about it breaking when I traveled with it in November last year.

It corrects, protects and perfects! SPF 30 is awesome, part of the moisture surge range so is hydrating, and has optic technology where it bounces the light giving a very natural and radiant look to the skin. Id buy this again.

Well, it seems like the beauty market is undecided on what a CC cream is, exactly. I would describe this particular one as essentially a foundation. It has very high coverage and a thick consistency, almost sticky which is from the high SPF. It's awesome that it has such a high SPF but unfortunately that comes with a compromise in formula.

There is a better shade selection in this than in cheaper CC/BB creams, and I use the shade 'light'. They don't come with choices in undertone, however, and 'light' leans a little pink for my skin tone. This can be evened out with a yellowy powder, but that's a bit much effort for me.

I really love the cc cream. It's very moisturizing and what I really love to do is wear this then put a bit of pressed powder over the top and it completes my look for the day without any oil or excess. The price is good too

I tried this when it was first launched as a day-to-day alternative to my Clinique foundation. I applied this with my fingertips as I would a moisturiser and the product goes on easily and didn't react to my sometimes sensitive skin. The coverage was sheer to medium, would be good for daily use where you want a "no make-up" look. I didn't really see any "colour correcting" properties from it myself any more than a BB cream.

I have oily skin and from my experience would recommend it for people with dry to normal skin, as I found it gave a very dewy finish to start but as the day went on, I found it wearing away particularly in my T-Zone.

I recently got a tester of this product, and went back to purchase it. When i'm at work I get quite red and patchy cheeks that gives me quite an uneven skintone, I usually look quite hot and bothered! I don't have time (or the effort really) to do a full foundation and make up every day, and I don't want to look all dolled up just to go to work.

I tried this product on it's own in and applying it with my fingers I could tell straight away it was making my skintone more even, similar to a foundation but without full heavy coverage, and it's VERY hydrating. I found on it's own it was rather dewy, so I matted it out and made it set even longer with a powder over the top.

It gives me a perfect coverage to hide my red cheeks, dark undereyes, make me look more 'awake', but without wearing a full face of make up. It just looks like flawless skin.

A winning combination in my book! I've also then added a mascara, bit of blush and mascara to have the 'no make up, make up' look.

Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream was a product that really excited me; SPF 30, hydrating and… a ‘Very light’ shade. Hurray!

Sadly, this product did not quite meet my expectations of a Clinique product. My main issue with this product is the texture upon application. It’s just too thick and clumsy to spread evenly on the skin. It really takes a lot of working to get a nice even coverage, even with primer and a well-moisturised base.

The coverage is good, about what you’d expect from a CC cream. It won’t cover acne completely; you’ll need some concealer for that. I don’t really have freckles but I reckon it’d hide those and even out skin tone if you put a decent amount on. I find the finish of this one to be slightly…chalky. Not a matte, chalky either, I find that it leave the skin looking a bit flat. This product is not particularly hydrating, in my opinion, for something called ‘moisture surge.’ Nope, no surges of moisture for me with this one. If you have oily skin, this could be a good thing. Incompatible with my normal to dry skin; I find that it settles into lines…not ideal when you are using a product designed to look like your natural skin.

It is confusing why this product is marketed as a ‘CC’ cream. From my knowledge ‘CC’ stands for colour-correcting, and so therefore has certain pigments to act as tone correctors e.g. green hues to combat redness, mauve tones to correct yellowness etc. This product on the other hand is purley skin-toned. Someone please correct (!) me if I have this info wrong.

The ‘very light’ shade is what I have- this product appealed to me because I hadn’t until the release of this product been able to find a product of this type light enough for my skin. ‘Very light’ is ever so slightly dark for my lighter-than-NW10 skin. The colour difference is not bad enough that I can’t use it, though. This would suit NC/NW 15/20 ladies.

The product is 40ml and comes in a simple light pink tube with a squeezy dispenser so you can control how much you put on your face. I find it slightly sunscreen-y smelling, nothing unpleasant. Note the SPF 30.

I expect to slowly finish this product- it’s a product that I reach for when I need a lil’ something on my skin when going to the gym, doing errands etc., but I will not repurchase.

Thus, my epic quest for the perfect tinted moisturizer/ BB/CC/DD/EE…ZZ (when will the fun ever stop?) cream continues. Any suggestions/ reccommendations ladies?
