I bought this moisturizer off a friend, as she had barely used it and was getting rid of it. Plus, it was less than the store price so how could I pass that up for a practically new product!? This is my first Clinique product but man… it won’t be the last.
When this arrived I was kinda disappointed if I’m honest. Looking at the pictures I expected the bottle to be frosted glass, as that’s what it looks like. However, it’s made of blimmen plastic! For something that’s so expensive I expected the packaging to be as luxurious as the price suggests. However, I can see how having plastic packaging is good – the price isn’t high and you aren’t paying for a glass bottle. I like the pump though, it works well.
The product itself is yellow and reminds me a heck of a lot like custard. It’s about as thick as custard too! Especially cooled custard. Mmmm custard. Unfortunately it doesn’t smell like custard, it kinda smells like nothing at all, but also a bit chemically as well. I use one pump of product which is maybe one extraordinarily big pea, or 3 baby peas worth. It’s not heaps, but it’s just enough to cover my face and neck. The product doesn’t really move when on the face – by that I mean however much you get is all you get, it doesn’t warm and spread. I think professionals call it “non-greasy”
However. The tag of dramatically different is so accurate it’s put a smile on my dial. Before using this I had dry patches on my chin, and my skin was uneven and nasty. Since using this, and it’s been about 2 weeks, my skin has evened out, I no longer have dry patches and, best of all, I also haven’t had any big or noticeable pimples. My skin finally stays hydrated through the day and I find I’m not reaching for my end game snail gel as much or at all, which is really just quite amazing in itself. For lack of a better phrase, this stuff is the bomb diggety and I’m so happy with it. I’ll be repurchasing.
My skin was very dry and I needed something extra to help. I was recommended this product and it delivered. No more dry skin and perfect for us gals that are aging, anyone really. It is not greasy but very moisturising. The only drawback for me is the price especially with a young family.
Tips: A little goes a long way.
