This product is just not for me. I'm not sure if subconsciously it was the strange colour of the moisturiser that was a bit off putting. But I didn't like the smell and I found that it was a bit too watery and not as rich in texture and moisturisation that I would have wanted for an expensive/high end product. My mum likes it though, so luckily I could just regift it to her.

If you have dry and sensitive skin like me then this is not the moisturiser for you, its gel formula doesn't hydrate my skin as well as a cream so it feels like I haven't moisturised after about 10 mins of wearing. I ended up giving it away to a friend who I knew used it.
I used to use this a few years ago because I read alot of good reviews online and because I was using Clinique in attempt to clear up my acne. To me this is just like any other moisturizer, it made my skin nice and soft but it made no 'dramatic' difference to my skin. I really loved that it had a pump bottle which made it alot easier to get the product out but once you got to the last bit it got a bit harder because the bottle itself feels kinda hard so you can't squeeze it to try get the last bit. This moisturiser is very expensive and though it felt lovely applying it to my skin , I'll be sticking to a less expensive brand.
My daughter gave this to me after deciding that it wasn't for her.
This comes in a yellow squeezy tube that is made out of plastic. I don't plastic packaging because it makes the product smell like plastic.
It is a yellow cream that isn't thick but it isn't watery. When you apply it it doesn't feel like it has been fully absorbed into my skin and I found it quite greasy. I have dry skin.
Aside from the plastic scent I like that this is perfume free but that is all I like about it. I think it is overrated for its price tag.
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
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.
to be honest i was horrified for how much people pay to use this product, I received mine as a gift Thank god, I did find it being quite elegant and posh with its packaging, but compared to other moisturisers you can buy for max $15 at a supermarket I think i would just stick to that, as they both do the same job and this product isnt as great the texture is quite oily and just doesnt suite my skin needs
I used to be a Clinique girl - loved the whole range, and particularly this moisturiser. It's calming and hydrating, melts in beautifully, and comes in good packaging with a hygienic pump dispenser. BUT - and this a biggie for me - it costs WAY more than I want (or need) to spend on a moisturiser. There are loads of other lovely, effective, equally gentle and hydrating creams out there for highly sensitive skin like mine - and for a fraction of the price (like CeraVe, Cetaphil, Aveeno, Neutrogena...) Clinique's DD does what it says, but I would use it again only if I were given it for free, and I'd recommend to a friend only if they really wanted to splurge on a moisturiser for some reason.
Tips: Use a much cheaper but just-as-good alternative!
I like this lotion but I feel like with makeup it can mess with the new foundations I try sometimes, plus I prefer moisturisers with more of a gel texture which is why I had to give a lesser rating, but I reckon for those who just love moisture with or without makeup this is amazing! I am currently trying out the Clinique Moisture Surge Moisturiser as its more of a texture I prefer.
I used to use Clinique 3 step constantly, then I had the revelation of why would I pay up to $150 for moisturiser, toner and face wash. Since I stopped using it and switched to oil of olay and my own natural face scrub and toner I have noticed such a difference in my skin. I felt the clinique 3 step to dry out my skin and it didn't feel soft.
Tips: Not for me but might suit other people who can afford it!
