Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel Review

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
