Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion + Reviews

My skin is extremely dry, so I need a really good thick moisturiser and was told to try this one. So I bought and tried it, and I must say I was quite disappointed. I didn't find it very moisturising at all and for the price I paid, felt a bit ripped off lol. Definitely would not buy this again :-(

I ffound it too harsh for my skin and after using it for 5 days I couldn't see any difference. If anything I was looking a bit red and patchy.

I received a sample of this in a free gift bag after buying some other Clinique products (aka spoiling myself!) and was not impressed.

It wasn't absolutely horrible by any means, but I have other, much much cheaper moisturisers that do a much better job - to me, this just felt like the Olay moisturiser I use as a base/primer sometimes because it doesn't actually do much else.

I used to use the Clinique DD Gel years ago and it was good but I tried a sample of this new formula recently and it gave me eczema. I do have difficult skin but anything that makes my skin worse rather than better would definitely not get my recommendation!

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 purchased this to combat my sensitive and dry skin. Seemed to work well - it didn't leave my skin greasy or irritate it as it has little to no fragrance. However, I didn't find that this did anything special for my skin and I still had some dry patches on my face. Feels really good and light but not worth the price in my opinion.

I have been using Clinique make up for 20 years and love it. Unfortunately the skin care range doesn't work for my skin. I was excited to hear they had improved their DDML but after trying 2 samples in my "gift with purchase" bags I have not changed my mind. The new formula is definitely better but still doesn't provide the moisture that my skin needs. The only way I could use this would be in conjunction with their other Moisture Surge products. I really don't want to buy multiple moisturizers.

Was thrilled to receive a sample, but found it too light, and it did not soak in the skin. It felt like a gel-film on my face, and no amount to rubbing/massaging helped. I did like the size of the sample, which is convenient for the gym bag (which is where it now lives as an emergency back up!)

I think the marketing and superiority of the brand Clinique are the big draw cards to this product. I liked using it because it was Clinique. However as a moisturiser it wasn't anything special, potentially too light? I felt like I needed to apply a second application. If this was in brand-less packaging I think it would be a very ordinary product. It still contains the same list of artificial ingredients as the cheaper brands - I'll stick to Antipodes.
