Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel

I've been using this brand of moisturizer since I was 16 and I'm still using it 10 years later! I originally started with the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion but found this and loved it even more. It lasts for months, even with everyday/twice a day use. It moisturizes well, especially on my dry/oil combination skin, and it does not feel too heavy or sticky.

After trying out so many different moisturizers, I finally found one that finally agrees with my skin type and one I'll keep using for a long time. Firstly, I have combination-oily skin (more on the oily side lately), hence I have avoided using creams altogether because they were too moisturizing and made my skin too oily. I switched to using gel because they are specifically tailored for individuals with oily skin. I tried the Vichy gel but I had an adverse reaction to it and was left with redness for a week so I decided to switch to the Clinique moisturizing gel. Since trying it, I have not used any other facial moisturizers.

This gel is hydrating without being oily. It leaves your skin feeling smooth and supple without the greasy feeling. I like that it comes in a plastic bottle with a pump and therefore allows for a more sanitary application. It is on the pricier end so I would recommend trying the sample size first before buying the larger 125mL bottle. The large bottle contains a lot of product. I've been using it for a month now and I've only used about 1/4 of the product so the whole bottle will last me a while. This would be an ideal moisturizer for the summer because it's light and doesn't feel heavy on the skin. I find it's also a great moisturizer to use under makeup since it's not greasy and allows for your make-up to stay on longer. It's fragrance free as well so it's great for those who are sensitive to strong scents.

I wouldn't recommend this for the dry areas on your face, this would not be sufficient to moisturize it. This is definitely intended only for those with oily skin.

I was looking for a lotion/cream for the summer, something not too greasy for my combination skin. So I bought the 3 step system from Clinique (cleanser-toner-lotion) From the first application I loved this product. My face felt very velvety thought out the day, and felt hydrated.

I borrowed this from a friend while on a road trip together. I had high hopes for it and was excited she has brought it along so I could finally try it out without having to pay the hefty pricetag first!

This product just did not agree with my skin. I didn't find it came close to properly moisturizing my skin requiring me to us nermous pumps at a time, what a waste of product. Also I don't like the fact that it doesn't come with an SPF. For the price of the product I don't think you should be made to go out and buy a seperate SPF on top of it.

I used the Dramatically Different Moisturizing lotion before this, but found that the gel suits my oily skin much better. Love this product; I've tried many different moisturizers, many more expensive than this one, and nothing compares! I have temperamental skin that breaks out, gets red, everything, and it really helps. and if you get it during a department store's "free gift with purchase" event, it's totally worth it.

This is my holy grail facial product, I don't know what I would do without it. I have combination skin that breaks out from anything with too much fragrance or oil, so when I woke up day after day with nice skin after using this I knew it was a keeper (they also have an oilier lotion version of this, which didn't make my skin too happy). I use this gel both summer and winter (adding a richer moisturizer to my cheeks in the winter). It works perfectly under makeup and absorbs like a dream... definitely worth the couple extra bucks!

This is by far the greatest moisturizer I have ever used! I have combination skin, and this moisturizer provides the perfect hydration to my dry parts without makiing my t-zone extra oily! It feels very light on my skin, is non greasy and comes in a variety of bottle sizes, which is really nice. DEFINITELY recommend it!

This is a staple in my everyday, it's the first daily moisturizer I've ever used that hasn't made my face break out more. I've tried Aveeno, Biore, Oil of Olay and a no name drug store brand in the past. They have all either made my face break out or didn't provide the moisture my face needed.
