Dramatically indifferent

Being a sufferer of combination skin, I'm always on the lookout for really good moisturisers. I can't say that this one will be a keeper.

I understand that there's a number of factors that can affect our skin, like the makeup we use and hair products, but I found my skin has not improved, or felt hydrated/less oily using this product.

I found it to be a watery consistency - which is up to par with their definition of a moisture "drink". It takes a while for it to settle into the skin - I'd say to give it about 5-10 mins before applying makeup. In the interim though, it feels almost like a gel - a sticky(ish) glaze on your face.

I've had no reactions to this product - my skin accepts it quite well. In saying that, I haven't noticed any difference! My skin isn't softer, smoother, nor improved in anyway. It is much the same as it's ever been. I figured for the price I paid, I could expect a healthier "dramatic" difference. It seems I've boarded the NOPE train.

It's certainly not something I would buy for myself again and its name sort of angers me a little... "Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturiser" - with a plus sign!! Sigh, I wish I could say it was true.

The Price? Dry Skin?

Do you dry skin ladies ever put on moisturiser, and yes you like it to absorb in, but you still want to feel moisture, and smoothness, this didn't work for me, 5 minutes after applying, I felt really dry, I found I had to use so much of this to make my face feel somewhat "nourished" for the price I will not be repurchasing.

Tips: dry skin ladies, use 1/4 of the bottle per use, haha

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturiser

I've used this moisturiser for the past 3 years and haven't found one I've liked better yet! The formula is nice and thin so doesn't leave your face feeling oily and clogged up. I have quite dry and sensitive skin and this moisturiser does not seem to agitate it. I apply it in the morning after cleansing my face and at night after I have removed my makeup.

My favourite of all time

I got given a sample of this product to try.

I love the product, very hydrating and moisturising compared to other moisturisers. I have extremely dry skin during the winter. It is so far my favourite moisturiser of all time. I went and bought one from Farmers and have been using it. It comes in a pump bottle.

I use it daily every morning. It is fragrance free which is great for me. The only problem is it does not have SPF, so I have to use sunscreen underneath.

The creme is very hydrating, feels lightweight on my skin. The texture is not too thick, rather on the thinner, runny side. It is easy to apply, absorbs nicely into my skin.

Compared to other moisturisers, it is a bit expensive but it is worth buying

Easy to use

I have used this for many years. usually get it through duty free as it is fairly pricey. It soaks in quickly and allows me to use other products fairly quickly afterwards. Never had a reaction to this.

Tips: Buy duty free to save!

Dramatically hydrating

I received a 30ml travel-sized bottle of Clinique's famed Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ as part of a GWP and I'm really happy I did as otherwise I wouldn't have discovered such a great product. My skin is normally oily and acne-prone but the cooler season has left it more combination and in need of hydration.

Dramatically different has quite a unique consistency for a moisturiser, it reminds me a lot of some of Clinique's eye creams or the Moisture Surge in that it's not quite a lotion in the traditional sense and not quite a gel either. What it IS is incredibly lightweight, essentially scentless and easily absorbed by the skin. My skin really does drink this in, changing my dry, tight face to just as soft and springy as the claims.

Originally I was using this as a substitute for my normal Anti-Blemish moisturiser in the evenings but I've really enjoyed the effect it's had on my skin and have been using it in the morning as well. Unlike a lot of moisturisers designed to hydrate this doesn't make my skin look oily and while you can feel the product on your face after application I never found it interfered with makeup application as I normally will wait at least five minutes before skincare and makeup anyway (coffee time!).

Overall the effect I experience using this moisturiser has left my skin feeling just as soft as some of the standard facials I have experienced so while I will be continuing to repurchase this.

Not blown away but it

I'm a sucker for GWP (if you don't know that already) and whilst shopping in a large Farmers got drawn into a GWP offer when you buy 2 items from Clinique. Having read some excellent reviews and secretly wanting to try this moisturiser out I felt that this was the calling I needed to get it.

The moisturiser comes in a square, chunky, yellow toned bottle with a silver lid pump dispenser which makes getting the liquid out of the bottle easy. Inside the liquid is a nice consistency of a pale yellow tone that quickly absorbs into your skin so you can get on with your skincare quickly. I didn't detect any sense of a fragrance to the liquid at all.

As I said it is quickly absorbed into the skin and a little bit of this moisturiser goes a long way, 1 pump is generally enough to cover my whole face. It is a nice feel moisturiser that leaves your skin feeling soft and not sticky without any residue left behind, but it did seem to be too heavy for my skin and didn't really do anything impressive to my complexion. I have combination skin and found that my oily areas were overly active after using this moisturiser whilst the drier areas were still slightly dry, an improvement but I was expecting so much more from this moisturiser for the price tag.

Looking for something better

Ive used this product for a while now, but Ive been finding it isn't as effective as it used to be - perhaps as my skin ages, its needs something a little more heavy duty? Benefits: Compact pump bottle, so no mess, and a little goes a long way. Also, it absorbs quickly, so if you don't have much time to wait between using it, and doing makeup, its very handy. Downside (for me anyway) - It used to be effective for me when I had dry areas of skin, but doesn't seem to work any more. So for me, although its a product I like, its probably time for me to say good bye to it.

Tips: Don't pump too much - normally 1 or 2 pumps will be enough.

Not thrilled about this product

I originally used this moisturiser before it changed. The new moisturiser does not agree with my skin. It feels slimy and sits on my skin and does not absorb as well as the old one. I went in to see a Clinique specialist at Farmers and she told me that the old one was not coming back and that this was the right product for my skin. I continued using this product for a couple of months but realised that it definitely was not the right product for me.

Tips: Try a tester before purchasing a full bottle of this moisturiser.

In LOVE!

After having my three kids my skin has become crazy dry, and I have tried so many products to get some moisture into my skin. I purchased this on a whim and after the very first use I noticed a huge change in my skin, it was so soft and glowy and after using it for the last few weeks my skin is almost completely free of my dreaded dry spots. I love that this is fragrance free and comes with a pump, it makes using it so easy.
