This product should be a staple for anyone with combination to dry skin. Iconic bottle which is durable and sturdy and a little goes a long way. I have sensitive skin and don’t react, perfect to use before foundation as mine still stays all day and doesn’t move. I would recommend this as just a moisturiser, definitely still need a serum and eye cream on top.

I love this! The size of bottle last for ages too. I have really sensitive skin with rosacea and I used to use their redness moisturiser, but this stuff is so good I only use it now. Makes my skin feel so lovely and soft, a realy noticeable difference. Highly recommended!
Tips: You only need the one pump, not any more! Tip the bottle upside down once it won't squirt and open it to get more product off the pipe to try and get as much as possible out of the container!
I've been using the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel for about 2 years now but during that time have dabbled with other brands and moisturisers that have a thicker or thinner consistency than this one (including the clear gel moisturiser by Clinique). I've found that this one is the most effective for my combination/oily skin by far (I generally lean towards having oily skin but do get dry patches in the winter time).
This moisturiser is hydrating without being too heavy, and is gentle enough to use around the eye area with ease. It seems to be un-fragranced which is good as the product remains on the skin rather than washing off immediately. It comes in a pump bottle which is helpful for the first three-quarters of the bottle but is a bit of an issue for the last quarter as it just won't suck up the product. I've got a small lidded jar (just a sistema jar that is meant to be for salad dressings in your lunchbox) and when I am getting low on moisturiser I remove the lid and sit it upside-down in my sistema jar to drain out the rest. That way I get to use all the product with much less waste than I would have otherwise.
Tips: Keep a small jar in your skincare collection to drain the last of the moisturiser into when the pump stops dispensing properly.
One of my favourite moisturisers, Clinique is definitely up there with leading brands for make up and skin care. If your looking for a very decent moisturiser, that doesn’t leave skin wet or really sticky, then this is the one I would recommend. Very light on the skin, and your face feels really soft and smooth after applying. Also I love the smell of this too, it’s gorgeous.
This is my favourite moisturiser *ever*. If I could afford to, this would be all I'd ever use again. Unfortunately the price is the difference maker for me here, and my skin misses that soft supple feeling it gave me!
Tips: I've seen this on 1-day a few times - most likely parallel import - might be a cheaper option for trying before you invest in the real deal?
This is a great moisturiser especially those with oily skin. Moisturising but not greasy or heavy. Is a bit more on the pricier side, but worth it in my opinion.
I have very sensitive acne prone combination/oily skin and have tried many moisturisers in my life but this one I have loved for around 6 years now. I decided to try clinique's range years ago when all I was having was trouble with otherr brands, but since trying clinique I haven't looked back.
It isn't oily or greasy and absorbs so quickly I was amazed. Its so light that a little goes a long way and you can't even feel that its even on your skin. This is my go-to morning moisturiser for under my make-up, no primer required despite my usually oily skin. It hydrates without making skin shiny or slick. I just love it
Tips: One pump is all you need for face and another for your neck area.
This is my favourite moisturiser I’ve ever used! Makes my skin feel so soft and that feeling lasts all day as well! It’s quite pricey but it is well worth in my opinion. It dries fast and leaves your skin feeling great! This formula is also one for oily skin as it hydrated it but doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy as it’s so light-weight.
Tips: If you’re concerned about the price, it often goes on sale around Christmas or comes out as a part of a gift set so keep you’re eyes out for it around the end of the year!
You can also test it out as little travel sizes are often part of gift sets too!
I have to say if you have oily skin the texture of this gel moisturizer is really good, it absorbs and hydrates immediately. It's good for those days when it's really hot and humid outside and moisturizer geared towards normal skin is just too heavy. I have been using this on hot summer days under my sunscreen and it's been helping to add another layer of hydration without making my skin excessively greasy. Now for the cons, price. For what it is just a plain moisturizer it is pricey. To be fair you do get more product than the average moisturizer but it hard to for me to justify spending that much on a moisturizer when there are other gel moisturizers at a more affordable price point that have a similar texture.
Tips: Wait till there's a really good gwp or discount at one of the stores that sells Clinique to purchase this.
A while ago I was very into the 3 step Clinique system and this moisturiser was my absolute favourite product. I haven't used it recently, because of the price and instead use the Neutrogena Hydroboost water gel as I think the texture is similar. I would love to re-try this to see if it's as good as I remember. I just can't justify the price when there are so many good products at a much more realistic price that I use and love.
