Brilliant!

I absolutely love this product and used to use it regularly but it's quite expensive and not always affordable if you are using it over face and neck twice a day as recommended. It is soft to the touch and has a very silky feel. Absorbs quickly and leave skin feeling lovely and supple although the effect did not last as long as some of the other Clinique moisturisers I have used. I have a combination skin and found it good for all areas for short term use or when in a drier climate.

Gel with me

This product is fantastic! It levels out the oils and water in your skin. My skin was very hydrated and smooth, my skin soaked it up. The Gel was nice and cooling in my skin. It helped with dry spots and keeping my oils at bay. My makeup sat nicely on top of this.

Tips: I put it in the fridge to get it nice and cold then apply it to my skin. It makes it extra refreshing and help with my bags

My go to moisturiser

I have been using the Dramatically Different Moisturiser for years and although I loved it, it was slightly too oily for me. When I noticed that they did a gel version (oil free) I was sold. I adore the texture it’s light and easily absorbed and leaves my skin feeling soft but not greasy. It’s about $69 for a bottle (plastic with a pump top) which is definitely not on the cheaper side but one bottle lasts me about 4-6 months so I don’t mind paying slightly more. Because it is so lightweight it can be used alone or with an SPF and still leaves the skin smooth. I like to switch it up now and then but this is definitely a staple in my beauty regime.

Not dramatically different

This is ok. I would say some skin types would suit this a lot more than mine. My skin craves a lot more from a moisturiser.

It's a great looking bottle and product very modern.

Light non greasy, pale yellow formula that does speread nicely over the skin. But any moisture quickly escapes me. My skin craves more moisture and for a longer period of time so it's really only ok. If you are happy to use more and reapply - your sorted but I wear makeup everyday and I can't be putting this over that repeatedly.. this would be expensive to do also as it's not cheap.

It does last a while and you don't seem to use much as the nozzle head if quite fine but it's still a bit pricey.

I recommend going to Clinique counter and testing this or getting a sample which they usually happily dish out.

Tips: Try a sample

Not dramatic gel.

This is a product that I had to get after purchasing the other bottle Clinique makes I thought I'd see how this one works. Well it works, the component is similar a pglass looking plastic bottle with a pump yay for sanitation. The formula is a light weight almost cream liquid almost gel and it isn't sticky for being a gel but it does adhere or absorb rather into the skin. Leaving no traces behind. The feeling is not harsh and doesn't interfere with my skins mantle. There's no reactions and the skin does seem to be moisturised. This is recommended to be used both am & pm,with that being said I used it as my am cream and had a night cream because of the fact it wasn't a heavy product it didn't feel like my skin would get the pm treatment it requires. Doesn't interfere with the layer being under my sunscreen primer and makeup. Left my skin looking bright and moist but not oily. Downfall of a pump is you cnat get every bit out I'd say the last 1/3 of the bottle was wasted because of this reason and for the price that was disappointing. So I'd rather that it came in a pottle but do understand its sanitary to be in a pump they jsut need to sort that part out.

Great for oily skin

This is a great variation on the classic DDM, as it is known by Clinique fans. It is a slightly lighter lotion, and is quickly absorbed into the skin. It does leave a light layer on the skin but it doesn't feel filmy at all. This is great for oilier skins and for all skins during a hot humid summer. I swore by this stuff when I lived in Japan! My skin tends towards the drier side now I am in the ‘mature’ category so I don’t find myself reaching for it anymore.

This is a really good basic moisturiser but this in itself does make it quite pricey. It just doesn't have the thrills or high tech ingredients of other moisturisers in the same price band. I’m unlikely to purchase it again but would definitely recommend it to anyone with oily skin that is still in need of hydration.

Clinique Great but Pricey Gel Moisturizer

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.

Favourite Moisturiser

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!

Best all rounder

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.

Worth the $$$

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.
