I have combination skin, during winter, my cheeks get really dry and flaky, not that I was expecting this product to work miracles but it did absolutely nothing for me. It made me T-zone more oily and my cheeks continues to shed skin (yuck!). The formula is quite light, so I would expect this to work better on those who have normal skin I guess.

I love this product. I've bought a few tube of it now. I hate that it is so expensive otherwise I would only use this. I just buy it every now and then or pick up sample tubes of it.
I'm currently using a 30ml tube of this. If you go by the packaging, it's nothing fancy. Clinique do very simple, plain packaging. This lotion is also yellow, it doesn't seem to me that it will do anything special but it proves that Wrong!
This lotion is not thick. I wouldn't say runny but it is on the thinner side . It doesn't really have any kind of scent, so if you don't like perfumed products this is perfect.
I use this lotion at night, mainly because it doesn't have sunscreen in it but you could use it for day as well.
Initially, when I apply it, it doesn't seem to feel that moisturizing on my face. But after it sits for a little while, my skin feels softer and plumped up with hydration. It lasts as well, when I wake up in the morning my skin still feels so hydrated.
I imagine with continued use, this would keep your skin feeling amazing but for now I just enjoy the extra boost of hydration from it whenever I use it.
I totally recommend giving this a go if you have dry skin. The only downside is that you might fall in love with it and need to repurchase!
This moisturiser is ok, I never have got a wow feeling when using this. I found that I needed to use a serum to get the extra hydration to see me thru to the end of the day when wearing make-up. It did leave my skin feeling comfortable after applying and half way thru the day, but I noticed the busier I was the more my skin seemed to tighten, which I have not experienced with other moisturisers. I just felt that this didn't really do much for my skin or live up to the 'Moisture drink" claim. I have normal skin with a oily t zone, so thought this product would be suitable for my skin. Even though is was ok, I felt it did the same as a moisturiser that I could buy from the supermarket for $15. The packaging is simple but easy to use. The pump is awesome so you never use too much product and very hygienic.
All in all it is ok, would I buy again... on the fence.
I received a deluxe sample of this as part of a Clinique GWP. Although my skin is normal/breakout prone, I found that this was a nice amount of hydration for my skin during the day- not too heavy or too light. I used this after experiencing a reaction to another skincare product and I found this nourished my skin without feeling like it would be too rich on my blemishes.
I will continue to use this tube which should last me another month, but am not sure if I would repurchase a full tube at full price. I would be more inclined to purchase if it had SPF as I find it annoying remembering to use SPF before applying. I think perhaps if you have very dry skin that this wont be hydrating enough, perhaps this should be targeted more towards normal/oily skin.
I used to use this years ago when I got put onto Clinique by someone. The only things to have changed is they occasionally put this in a tube, made a gel version, have added a pump option to the bottle and added a + to this. It is still the same yellow colour it was back then. The best part is, it doesn't seem to have changed in that time.
This is a lotion and seems easily absorbed by the skin. There is no scent on this that I can detect. This isn't a thin liquid nor is it really thick but a happy middle of the road balance. I apply after cleansing, toning, serum routine. I have normal combination skin, so it moisturised where needed but nothing that some less pricey brands would do at a slightly cheaper cost. The pump option measures how much to use, so no guessing, and it does make it more hygienic if you are sharing this with your teenager or significant other steals it.
Would I purchase again probably not for a while but I will always take it in a GWP.
I got a bottle of this from my sister for a birthday, and I so wanted to love it because for some reason I fell irreconcilably in love with the shape and colour of the bottle. Unfortunately, that was it for the love affair with this product. My skin is always dry, and I always need gentle but super moisturising products to address that. The more I used this, the drier my skin seemed to get and in the end I gave up. It might just be my skin, but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with problematic dryness - I think it might just be too harsh for us delicate ones!
I recently had a friend head over to the States who kindly offered to bring some stuff back for me so saw it as the opportunity to pick up some Clinique as its so expensive over here and boy I was not disappointed. I suffer from extremely dry patches combined with oily skin so my struggle is finding a moisturiser that combats the dryness without making me too greasy and this is it! I've been using it for a week and my skin hasn't felt or looked this great in years.
They've been making this moisturiser for decades and it appears they haven't changed the ingredients or packaging. It must have a loyal following, but I reckon moisturisers have come a long way ... it's think and yellow and expensive, and is supposed to be used with toner which people don't really do anymore - remember the old 3 step cleanse, tone, moisturise.. do they still sell that yellow cake of soap in a green container to wash your face? When I was 15 that was the pinnacle of luxury skin care to me :-)
Tips: If you aren't already a loyal user why would you?
This moisturizer didn't suit my skin... I had a lot of break outs and my skin was very oily when using it
I have severe acne and have struggled with my skin for almost twenty years (I'm only 27!). Nothing short of medication ever helped it. Until Clinique. I started by using the foundation, then moved onto the anti-blemish solutions range and finally the moisturizer. I love it. It makes my skin feel fresh and clean without producing excess oil. It aids in combatting break-outs and feels super light, while doing heavy-duty work. Plus, you only need a tiny splodge on your finger-tip to use on your whole face! I normally use it at night (unless I'm going make-up free for the day) and it makes my skin feel soft and look glowing all through the next day too! Thanks Clinique. <3 <3 <3
Tips: Use after washing and toning at least once a day.
