Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief Review

I have really dry skin, so when I saw this I had to buy it. Often moisturisers meant for dry skin can be quite greasy, which is okay for night time but isn't ideal for wearing under makeup in the morning. This is not like those other moisturisers - it's not at all greasy. It's really moisturising for my skin without being greasy - a dream come true. I don't find that it gives 24 hour hydration, I still moisturise morning and night but that's pretty much to be expected. The only things I don't like about this are the price, and also the jar packaging. Jars are just less hygenic, and it is a bit annoying to travel with the bulk as opposed to a tube, but I'll forgive them for that.

I'm a big fan of Clinique, especially for their amazing skincare products. I feel like I just can't go wrong when purchasing clinique products, they just seem made for my skin.

I already use the iconic three step system from Clinique which is amazing for my dry and sensitive skin. The dramatically different moisturiser is an absolute favourite of mine. And this little gem is now my equally favourite!

Firstly, the packaging is distinctively Clinique. In its stylsh glass jar, with a silver lid and silver writing. It just looks luxurious and high end. I like my Clinique products to be on display on my dresser, they all have a great look to them.

The consistency is like a gel, and its slightly pink. A little goes a long way and it feels so light and absorbs well into my dry skin. The name says it all, it definitely gives extended thirst to my skin. My skin feels so moisturised and silky soft after using this.

I find the hydration from this moisturiser is even slightly better than my dramatically different moisturiser. So when my skin is feeling like it needs some extra dose of moisture I apply this.

What I love about this product, and other Clinique products is that they are perfect for my sensitive skin type, never have I had a reaction from Clinique products. I can really trust they won't cause irritation like some other different branded products.

As others have said this is a rather expensive moisturiser, but definitely worth it in my opinion. It just really does the job it states it will do. If you want an extremely hydrating and fantastic moisturiser, this is the one.

Well, I'm definitely sold on this moisturiser - another holy grail product from Clinique.

A five star product that I would definitely recommend.

I wasn't sure what I was going to get with this till I started to use it, it has been out for over a decade I think.

This is a gel moisturiser, that has a pale peach colour to it. It is easy to use, just apply after cleansing, toning, serum routine. The gel felt light against my skin and I felt it moisturised well for me. I have normal skin but it is maturing slowly. While I normally use this as a standard moisturiser, there are instructions for using as a mask. I have used both morning and night. This absorption of this is normal, and the wet sheen dries quickly.

I do like this as a product and will look at repurchasing at some point if I can get it at bonus time as it is pricey. But I'm not sold on using it as a mask

This was very generously given to me by skingeek on here. Prior to her gifting this to me, I had never tried a Clinique product.

My skin is very dry and I am rather anal about using products on it to try to keep it from getting too dry. This sounded right up my alley - the words 'moisture surge' made my dry skin very excited haha.

I like to use this as a moisturiser in the morning before I apply my makeup. The consistency is like a gel and it has a light, fresh scent that is only just detectable. Only a small amount of this is needed to cover your whole face.

My skin absolutely drinks this in. After letting it sink in, my skin feels super hydrated and smooth. This is (unfortunately for my bank balance), the best moisturising product I have EVER used. If you have extremely dry skin I highly recommend trying this.

Even though it is super hydrating, it doesn't leave a film or sticky residue on your skin after applying. Your skin feels fresh and clean and youthful.

This is something that I am absolutely going to repurchase even though it is pricey. I believe skin care is the one item you should spend as much as you can if you find something that you really like. This is one of those products for me and I won't hesitate to purchase it.

This is such a fantastic, super hydrating moisturiser and another winner for me from Clinique. I received a jar of this as a GWP and my first impression was how luxurious the product looked in it's pretty glass jar with pale pink gel. Being someone with oily, acne-prone skin I normally go for medicated or oily-skin moisturisers instead so I'm glad I received this as but Moisture Surge really is for all skin types.

'Cream-gel' describes the formula well as it was lovely and light while being incredibly hydrating, my skin just drunk it in. I only needed to use a small amount of gel as well which is great as it meant my jar lasted a lot longer than a cream normally would for me.

I liked to use this at night and found this left my skin feeling lovely and soft without the greasy, heavy texture a lot of moisturisers can give. Also no breakouts which is a definate win for my skin!

I would happily use this product again and recommend it for anyone wanting a lightweight but nourishing moisturiser.

I love this product! The consistency is a cross between a gel and a moisturizer. It’s hydrating, makes my skin feel smooth and is a perfect base layer for my makeup.

I have always struggled with dry skin, like REALLY struggled. I get eczema type patches over my mouth and eyes if I don't moisturise enough or if I keep makeup on too long etc. this formula is incredibly hydrating, to the point where honestly I think it was almost too much for my skin! I would say if you have combo skin or even ever so slightly oily, then this probably isn't for you. It definitely does what it says it Will though, sinks in nicely.

My skin is so so so so dry and flaky that no moisturiser can help it, but this one is the best that I've found it's light and moisturises so well, and leaves a super soft finish! Definitley one of the best moisturisers I've tried

I have extremely dry skin. I have used so many different types of moisturisers, from drug store brands to expensive brands from the beautician ( My partner didn't see that bill). This product has become my holy grail. A friend of mine recommended it to me. Luckily I work as a flight attendant so I get duty free. This product cost me $60 with a discount. I have a huge tub of it and it is the best thing to happen to my skin. After i put it on I feel instantly hydrated. I would find other moisturisers would feel heavy on my skin, like they were blocking my pores. This product leaves no oily residue, no caked on feeling and makes me feel wonderful. TRY IT!!!

This stuff is amazing. I mostly use it in winter when my skin is dry, particularly around my nose. It's a gorgeous gel texture, not heavy at all, and sinks in rapidly. My skin absolutely drinks this stuff up. I like to layer it with a serum at night for maximum hydration. It's expensive but a little goes a long way. A favourite and forever repurchase for me!
