Yes, it moisturizes, and yes, it makes your skin dramatically different. For me, it made my skin dramatically worse.

Initially, I was sold on Clinique's 3-Step System. I have sensitive, dry skin, and their product description fit everything that I was looking for in face care products: fragrance free, allergy tested, and moisturizing. I found a great deal on Sephora, where you could purchase the toner and get samples of the cleanser and moisturizer for free, so I figured it was a good way to test it out.

At first, it seemed like this product was living up to its name, as my skin felt somewhat less dry than before. But, after a week, this greasy moisturizer (along with the cleanser and toner in their 3-step system) started causing red, blotchy and itchy patches on my skin. Worse, my skin would sting when I used the toner. I immediately stopped using the products and the redness went away.

Although this product is definitely NOT for me, it may work for you; I have friends who rave about Clinique's 3-Step System. I will say that it did moisturize my skin, but I have sensitive skin and it did not react well to whatever ingredients they used. I would definitely recommend to try samples before investing into full-size bottles of these products as Clinique products are rather expensive.

Okay, so I am not 100% convinced this product is for me. After using it for over 3 weeks, I am noticing more break outs than before, and really, my skin feels better once I put it on, but after 15 mins, I feel that my skin becomes tight again.
I am sorta glad i used the samples that I got, before purchasing this product. It is not what I was expecting in a face cream.

I didn't get any rashes or breakouts from using this cream like some of the other people did. For me, although the lotion is targeted towards those with dry to very dry skin, I still had dry patches on my face while using it. Mind you, it may have been due to the winter weather... I say it's good if you're looking for a thick lotion but you're not ready to commit to a cream. For my full review: http://jealousofmyskin.com/clinique-dramatically-different-lotion/

I have sensitive and combination skin. This product wasn't right for my face. It didn't moisturize the dry parts of my face. It wasn't effective. It's not worth the price. A lower priced drug store brand is better than this.

I got this as part of the 3 step system. My skin is weird. It used to be quite dry, now I would say it's dry combination. It gets red and itchy, tight if not moisturized, I do get breakouts around my chin. Some shine on my nose. I think this moisturizer is good for use in the summer because it terms of moisturizing, it doesn't really do much. If you want a very light moisturizer it works alright. At night, I would not use this to deal my dry skin after washing, I would use a vitamin e night cream from the body shop or something like that, something stronger. It would be much better if it had an spf in it, but it does not, for a higher end skin care if really should. I like the packaging, it is sanitary, cute plastic bottle, silver top. It's large and will last me a long time. I have a sample size too in the mini set that I got for my bf, he didn't like it. So I have enough for a while. I don't know if I would re-purchase, I'll say yes for now, but I really am not sure, plus I don't really think I will need to for a long, long time.

This is not a great moisturizer for a person with extremely dry skin. It is too liquidy and doesn't seem to give all day moisture. I think it could work for people with combination or oily skin but it did not do anything for me.

Effective cream but I dislike the scent ( it's a light scent that reminds of old makeup). I love Clinique products but this would have to be my least favorite althought it's definetely not horrible.

I purchased this lotion for 3 reasons:

1. I heard it was good
2. I worked at Sears and got a discount
3. Clinique bonus time!

I've had it for months and still don't know how I feel about it. It doesn't seem to make me break out, which is good, but when I first put it on it feels like a mask of pure grease. It's thick and sits on top of my skin forever. It also makes it quite...shiny? I don't know if that's the right word, but the hair on my face GLEAMS after I put it on. Not a selling point.

I use it at night to counter-act all the negative points, but I haven't seen any changes that make me want to buy it again. There are other $30.00 lotions that do a better job ahem*Olay*ahem.

I read that one girl uses it on her feet...Maybe I'll try that :)

I had this product for quite sometime(it was a free product when i bought lots of product from clinique) but i wasnt using it because my skin is quite oily and i think using this product mught make my skin worse...anyway, my skin condition suddenly change during the summermonths...my skin sudeenly felt tight and flaky and i started noticing dry patches on my face(as in all of the sudden my face stopped producing oil!).It was getting worse by the day that i knew i have to switch to a rich moisturizer. I found this lotion in my bathroom cabinet and decided to give it a try for a couple of days..the first time i smoothed it on my face, i wasnt completely sold out.But when i wake up the following morning, the tightness in my face had disappear. My skin was soft and it acted as a good base as well and helped me apply my foundation w/ ease.It didnt make my skin very greasy.I think this lotion provides good hydration though i find its not very lasting for me. I would recommend this to people suffering from mild to moderate skin dryness...

I know alot of women swear by this formula but it made me breakout and seemed a bit oily on my face. I cant use it and would much rather use philosophy's Hope in a jar.
