I really waned to love this product...
But it just wasn't for me, it sat on top of my skin & it didn't work effectively to hydrate my skin properly. The Clinique night cream works much better than this one
Leaves skin baby smooth
This is a great hydrating moisturiser, it instantly helps with my dryness and leave my skin so velvety smooth to touch. Very beautiful productGreat Stuff

I really love this moisturiser and it is one of my favourites. Its very hydrating, doesnt react with sensitive skin and the texture is great, feels very lightweight. It does take awhile to sink in but overall I think its a great productbit expensive but so convenient
This hydrator is so perfect when travelling. Its small, perfect to put in your travel bag and leaves your skin feeling hydrated and nicer. I love the size of it and its effectI really waned to love this product...

one of the best ive ever used. does sit on top of the skin a little though.Nice
Nice product! Skin felt soft and more hydrated in the morning. Smells nice tooMoist Af
I really like this moisturiser, I feels extremely nice on the skin, absorbs well and has a unique texture like no other. It’s feel very clean, not like some moisturisers that can feel oily.That's well Gel!!!
I used this product after applying the custom-repair serum for the past 3 nights. The first thing I noticed was how my skin felt in the morning, really hydrated and soft. I will totally be recommending this to my friends if they need a moisture boost.Feels amazing!
This cream is amazing!! It’s got a gel like texture and spreads onto the skin effortlessly. It’s so hydrating and moisturising, it leaves the akin super soft after it dries. Absolutely amazing product. Will never stop using it!holy grail
This has been my holy grail for years now. I first got this product in a gift bag and I was pretty skeptical about it since I have dry patches (my cheeks and around my eye area) while my T-zone is basically oil-central. I use this this after I wash my face and toner. It definitely helps with my dry patches and for my t-zone, I just go a little lighter on the moisturizer and I’ve noticed that after a year of this product, my face has become a lot more even (the dry patches are less ashy and my t-zone has been noticeably less oilier). I normally use this in the morning since it’s relatively light and I like my night creams to be heavy and thick, although I know some people do use it for both in the morning and night.
Gel-like
Lovely gel-like consistency that sinks right into the skin. There is no greasy residue left behind, and I felt like it did a good job at hydrating oilier parts of my face. Doesn't do much for flakey dry patches though.So much better than I expected!
I am almost 60 and I haven't used Clinique for years always thinking it was for younger skin. I was wrong. I received a sample of this and am now about to order.
I put it on this morning over serum, no primer, and then applied my Armani Crema Nuda foundation. Makeup stayed put, and my skin has felt PLUMP, smooth and distinctly hydrated all day. I have dry skin and apart from Creme la mer, no other product has moisturised like this! It does not feel greasy on my skin and absorbs quickly. I cannot believe how good this is and I've been using high quality skin care all my life. This is right up there for me and the most reasonable price makes it a winner. Thank you Adore Beauty for sending the sample - this is a game changer for me!Beautiful texture
This is a fabulous moisturiser for normal-dry skin. It's texture is really light and silky, but it packs a punch, leaving my skin soft and dewy. It tends to last well through the day too, whereas with other creams I can have dry patches by the afternoon. Wish it came in a tube rather than a jar, but I use a spatula and all seems OK.Amazing moisturiser that’s non greasy
I used to use Clinique’s dramatically different moisturiser however because I have combination skin I decided to switch to this moisturiser due to the onset of colder weather. I was a bit worried at first because my skin can tend to be on the oilier side and I was afraid such a rich hydrater would just increase the oil on my skin. This product provided me with the complete opposite. The gel like consistency was lovely on my skin, dried quickly and didn’t feel greasy. When I use this at night I wake up with beautiful soft hydrated skin that I seriously can not stop touching. The 72hour hydrating part is spot on too. There has been a couple of times I’ve gone to bed without washing my face and applying any skin products and in the past this has lead to dry and flaky skin by the morning however with this moisturiser my skin still remains soft and hydrated even if I miss a day of usage. I am so in love with this product!!!!I wanted to love this but wasn't that excited about it.
I wanted to love this product but wasn't excited about it. It wasnt a bad product but it wasn't amazing like I had heard. When I was talking to my sister about it she said she had tried Nutrogena Water Gel and it was of a similar ingredients list and that it was less than half the price of this Clinique approx $25. I was skeptical but I would say now after trying them both that I have to agree with her. Clinique did not perform hydration miracles for me unfortunately.Love this... but it does not last!
Went through a 50ml tub super quickly... it almost absorbs too much. It leaves your skin feeling amazing, but does not last at all.Super Hydrating!
Absolutely adore this moisturiser!!!!!
It is super hydrating yet really light!
My skin always is glowing and smooth after I use it!
It works great under make up!
Certainly a stapleHydrating
Very hydrating and feels amazing onLoved it at first but now not so sure
I absolutely loved this product at first as it seemed to plump and hydrate my skin. Although now I believe it just gives the feeling of hydration on the surface. Great to use before an event but not day to dayUnsure
I have heard so many good reviews about this product but after trying it I am unsure. There is no doubt it is hydrating but on my oily/dry skin I found it was too hydrating. I would not recommend if you are prone to oilyness.not result driven
This popular moisturizer is adequate but it doesn’t blow me away. Yes, it moisturizes my skin, but that’s it. For me, I want more from my moisturizer (I.e. radiance boosting, anti-aging, reduce wrinkles, even texture, etc). This just doesn’t do enough for me. I prefer a multitasking moisturizer. If you just want moisture and nothing else, then this is a good option.mixed feelings
I know every one goes on about this product and loves it but it didn't really impress me at all! I have normal to dry skin and it just didn't really do much for me. I did enjoy using it as a mask though but that used up a lot of product. I do have sensitive skin though and I enjoyed that it didn't make me break out. Unfortunately probably won't be purchasing again.the best
This is such a great moisturiser for people with really dry skin. It’s the only moisturiser that I’ve found leaves my skin properly hydrated the next morning (I use it at night) rather than being dry again and having to reapply more. Leaves my skin so soft and smooth also, such a good product!Good price point,nice product
This is nice and hydrating, and a great light texture, particularly if you're skin is oily.
It isn't my favourite moisturiser but it is a good price point for something light and hydrating.Hydration Plus
This is my favourite moisturiser, provides a great level of hydration without clogging poresThis range is my new (skincare) best friend
I have oily/combo skin and i LOVE this. It feels luxurious on the skin, with noticeable plumpness and hydrationLiquid gold!
Its amazing! It glides on my skin and feels amazing!Versatile and hydrating.
I have sensitive skin that can really dry out in the winter - this product does the trick to hydrate and soothe. Its gel texture hydrates without heaviness. For day, used under foundation, it provides a great finish. For night it is refreshing and I wake up with soft, hydrated skin. Highly recommend.Highly Recommended!
My skin has always been dry and acne prone - I started using this product and instantly noticed a difference! My skin was moisturised and was glowing, without breaking me out! I highly recommend this product for nice glowing skin!Dewy Glow
The best moisturizer I've ever used. Absorbs really well and makes my skin feel amazing. highly recommend for dry skin. Also great to use post skin treatment.Sits really well under makeup
This product sits so well under makeup, it's great for daytime use.
I think this moisturiser is one of the best for dry skin like mine, it absorbs quickly and has no greasy residue. I think it really helps create a flawless finish for makeup.
My only issue is how quickly the product runs out, and the cost!
I would recommend this for people who have dry - combination skin.
A bit too drying for me
A bit too drying for me, and not that comfortable on my skin. OK moisturiser overallRefreshing
I have oily combination skin and find that it doesn't cause my skin to go oily after an hour or so after putting it on. It really light on my skin and not as dense as a conventional moisturiser. It also soaks into my skin really well, and doesn't feel greasy or sticking on my skin. I usually use Clinique's "Different Moisturising Gel", this feels like it's along the same lines, but even betterMy go-to
I have bought and re-bought this product so many times over the past couple of years. I love the way it sinks into your skin and instantly plumps and for me it hydrates my oily/dehydrated skin. I used it mainly as a water-based serum instead of a moisturiser which it is marketed as, I don't believe that for me it has ever been heavy enough to use as an all day moisturiser. My poor skin would drink it in and dry out again in two seconds if I didn't use a moisturiser on top. I think long term though, I am interested in what else is out there that is less expensive that does what this one does. I believe that it exists!!Great hydrating cream
Lovely moisturiser! It's a bit expensive but works really well for dry skin. Would recommend if you can afford itLove!!
Absolutely love. Hydrating, soft, cooling. Made my skin feel and look beautiful and dewy!love it
I have oily/combo skin and i LOVE this.
It feels luxurious on the skin.
Skin feels plump with continuous use.Love it.
I love this moisturiser. My sister and I both use it as our everyday moisturiser now. It’s so hydrating and plumping, no scent and a gel like consistency that sinks in easily! I’ve tried the Clinique moisture surge intense skin fortifying hydrator too, and for the same price, this is so much nicer.Fabulous moisturiser!
This was recommended to me and it is hands down the nicest moisturiser I have ever used.
It is light but also gorgeously hydrating. It feels divine going on, absorbs quickly, and my skin feels so soft.
I have problematic pimple prone skin and this definitely feels like it soothes it without clogging or causing break outs.Great Moisturiser
I have Combination skin and am prone to facial eczema, I have tried tons of creams and lotions in my time trying desperately to find the perfect one for my skin.
I have finally found it I've been using this for over 9 months and it gives me enough moisture to keep my eczema under control and even manages to eliminate the big oily patchs I suffered from in the tzone it's a super absorbant gel like moisturiser that soaks immediately into the skin and leaves it soft to the touch. I also love that a little goes a long way with this product you won't need heaps to keep your skin satisfied.My go-to Moisturiser
The best moisturizer I've ever used. Absorbs really well and makes my skin feel amazing. highly recommend for dry skin. Also great to use on sunburnSo hydrating
I received a sample of this product and loved it! I will be repurchasing for sure! My dehydrated, tired skin was transformed over night - it appeared plumper and had a healthy glow. The tight dry feeling of my skin went away and my skin softness returned!Good hydration
Good oil free gel moisturizer I like it as my skin gets oily.This hydrates the skin well it's also light weight.Its a bit expensive though.Hydradtion
Gives all day hydration! You can really feel it and when removing at the end of the day you can still feel it there doing its jobA must have
This makes your skin feel amazing. Light weight and smells devine. A must in any skin care routine.Incredibly hydrating
So soooo good.
I’ve got dry combo skin that seems to just eat up most hydrating products, but this actually works. And improves it overnight.
Thin lightweight gel. Non greasy, absorbs fast, and layers fine under makeup and primer and on top of serums. The smell is fine too.
It’s fast becoming a must have for me.Does not disturb your makeup!
A great moisturizer for the day if you're a makeup wearer. It has a film like quality and can even work as a primer for dry skin. I probably would not recommend this as a night cream for dry skin folks but those with oily skin I am sure will love this. Its gel texture and soothing feel is really what you want if you have oily skin and/or during the summer.Fresh as a daisy
I have combination skin and have struggled to find a moisturiser that helps with my break outs! This one is the first to really reduce my oiliness and also clear away the dry skin that I get after a pimples been there! My skin feels plump and fresh for so long. I absolutely love itextremely moisturising
I have used this for a short time and I love it. It is very hydrating and it does exactly what it states it lasts more than a day. My skin feels so velvety soft after using this. I will be purchasing again for myself and for others.worth it!
This product helped repair my skin's moisture barrier after a bad run with exfoliating acid! It's lightweight, doesn't leave skin feeling greasy and works well under makeup.
TIP: Use after serums and before CC cream.Definitely worth a try
This is one of my staples. I get really dry spots on my fave and need good hydrating moisturizer for before the bed. Been trying lot of different brands and this seems to be the only one doing it for me. Keeps the skin silky smooth.Great moisturiser
I have combination skin but my skin can get very dry especially in winter. I love using this moisturiser, it is so gentle and really hydrates my skin making it so soft.Decent Moisturiser
I have problem skin and am quite dry everywhere but my t-zone, I do like this product it doesn't cause break outs and they packaging/color? Amazing, But I do find it does sit on top of the skin sometimes so I prefer to use it at night to really give it some time to soak into the skin but for the price point?...it's good but its not fantastic for myself I think I would purchase something more hydrating next time round.Awesome! Best ever moisturiser!
I purchased a trial size and WOW! Loved it! It is so light and silky and absorbs quickly into the skin with no sticky or greasy after feel. Very hydrating and can be used day and night in all seasons. I am loving this product and highly recommend it to anyone who needs hydration and has fine lines. I have been using it now for about 4 months or so and the difference is visible. Love it!Hydrating
I am undecided with a lot of the clinique products but received a sample of this one and it was really nice. Super hydrating on the skin and it felt nice afterwards.Didn’t work for me!
I have very dry sensitive skin and this broke me out! However I do know a few people that love itgood but not great
I like the way this product feels, it is super hydrating and a nice texture. It does feel a little sticky on the skin though
It makes me break out if I use it too often. Perfect to use maybe once or twice a week at most when the skin is feeling particularly dehydrated.Great moisturiser for soft skin
I love using this moisturiser morning and night. The consistency is medium (not thick or too thin). Works really well with combination or oily skin - doesn't make your skin oily. Works well as a primer too.AMAZING
This product has changed my skin routine. It provides unmatched hydration with the littlest bit on my fingertip! My skin tends to get quite dry and irritated. This product has fixed that problem.Great moisturiser/primer.
Rarely use clinque products but this is one that I will be buying again when my bank is looking okay ahha. I use this moisturiser for my face before bed or before applying make up on in the morning.
It has a really thin and hydrating base feel that glides onto the skin nicely. I have combination to dry skin. So oily t zone and dry cheeks. It seems to work wonderfully for me. Only downside is the price point, it is on the expensive side, if you’re using it as a primer and moisturiser it doesn’t seem to last long enough as I want it to.Super hydration!
This is such a hydrating face cream, just like the label says. My skin is dry and dehydrated and this cream plumps it up and makes the fine lines appear much less obvious. Highly recommend.Doesn't soak in
This just sits on top of my skin and doesn't soak in. and if i rub my face or put make up over the top with a brush it like pills up and makes little balls of products on my face which isn't a good look under makeup.
Not really impressed with this. I saw many people raving about it and I thought it would be great for my dry winter skin but nopeSuper hydrating
Feels amazing on the skin, such a luxurious feeling too. Perfect for sealing in that post-sheet-mask moistureNon greasy
I was sent this as a sample and fell in love immediately and had to buy it. I have oily skin with dry patches in winter. I would have never bought this product without trying it first as the words "Moisture Surge" have me thinking this will be a heavy greasy product. But it is the opposite. It is so lightweight and feels silky smooth when applied. I only apply a very thin layer as my skin is not very dry and it feels lovely and not greasy. I love it. Am on my second bottle and I think my skin looks better than ever.Perfect for Oily Skin!
I absolutely love this product. It is so nourishing and I can notice the difference immediately. I personally have very oily skin so the light weight formula is perfect for me! I don't end up looking like an oil slick. I don't know about the whole 72hour thing because I use it in conjunction with other hydrating products so haven't been able to test it as a stand alone product but will definitely be repurchasing. A little bit can cover your whole face you you get your moneys worth as well.very hydrating
I really like this moisturiser. It's super hydrating but soo lightweight and absorbs quickly. I used to also put this on my lips on top of liquid lipsticks or liner and my lips didn't dry out how they usually would.Good basic moisturizer!
This is a good moisturizer but I am not sure I would purchase again as it doesn't feel like much on my skin as it is so light and I think I would prefer more hydrationA Classic
For a non-cosmeseutical grade moisturiser, this one is gold. I have combination skin and it made my skin supple but not oily. It's gel-like and the texture is not very thick. It's not thin and runny either but in the middle. Works well with any brand of cleanser or exfoliator.Very moisturising and light
This is really moisturising yet light and doesn't leave my skin shiny as others do!A little disappointed
A little disappointed that they changed the formula for this product, and replaced the moisture surge - extended thirst relief, because that was my go to moisturiser for Australian summers!! I don't like the new formula as much, as it feels a little more 'greasy' to touch, but other than that is a good, lightweight product as the last step in your skin regimenFave cult moisturiser
I have combination skin which is oily in my t-zone and dryer on my cheeks; this moisturiser has saved me!
Usually moisturisers make my face feel gross and oily after an hour or two but this one blends in so nicely!!
It stays hydrated for sooo long and I’m always complimented on how soft my skin looks. Highly recommend!expensive
very hydrating but similar products are a lot cheaper.Beautiful
Very light but so hydrating. I love this moisturiser.Cult classic!
Always go back to this product, so good for the cold months as my skin is really dryVery Hydrating
Makes your skin soft and hydrated and foundation sits nicely ontop. My skin can get pretty dry but this is a good moisturiser to stop me flaking.Perfect for dry, winter skin!
I have such temperamental skin, oily in my t-zone, but dehydrated around my cheeks and around my nose. I love using this in the morning because the gel consistency is so soothing and feels really light. It never makes me additionally oily throughout the day, and really makes my skin feel really nourished and plump. I put it in the fridge in summer and reapply any time of the day on no-makeup days, such a treat!Nice little product
Left my skin nice and supple. Adds the perfect amount of moisture without leaving excess product or oily residue!!Holy grail!!
I use this moisturiser morning and night and have been for the last 6 months. I have combination/oily skin and this moisturiser leaves my skin hydrated and less oily than without. Highly highly recommend!!Best night cream
I use this at night and it's the best. Doesn't leave me feeling stick and doesn't transfer onto my pillow.Hall of Fame Product
I absolutely love this moisturiser - it is a classic of mine and one I will always continue to buy. It is so light and moisturising and doesn't sit on skin or make it oily as some other Clinique moisturisers. I have dry/sensitive skin and this is absolutely wonderful.Great Day time moisturiser for Summer
I use this product during summer when my face is a bit oily because it's super lightweight and I can use it under makeup and it doesn't flake off like some other gel moisturizers! Wouldn't recommend as a night-time moisturizer because it really doesn't visibly hydrate the skin that much.Best Moisturiser for Dry, Sensitive Skin
I cannot recommend this moisturiser enough if you have dry and sensitive skin. I have used multiple other high end brands, dermatology recommended products, but I always come back to this one.
I use morning and night, and also as a primer before foundation application. My skin has never been so plump and smoothBest day moisturizer
This gentle and effective moisturizer is great as a daytime moisturizer that is beautiful under my makeup! I have combination skin and was finding I looked greasy by the end of the day, with this under my foundation I look less greasy and my makeup looks great all daySuper hydrating
I loved this product. Not one that I would use everyday however great for TravellingMade my skin feel dry
I've read so many good things about this moisturiser so I decided to give it a go after my last moisturiser ran out. With its promise of hydration, I was excited as I have dry skin. I was actually really disappointed with how this felt on my skin, it made my skin feel even drier than what it is. Perhaps it was just my skin type not liking the product but I wouldn't repurchase this or recommend it.Love it, so nourishing!
I have dry, dehydrated skin and this moisturizer have completely changed my skin! It feels really lightweight when i put it on, yet when i wake up in the morning my skin feels so nourished and plump! I would say this is a good everyday moisturiser-but, not 72hrs. However, I would definitely recommend trying it!So good!
Clinique moisturisers are so great and this one is no different. Moisturises my skin so deeply without making it greasy at all.Feels beautiful
Can almost feel it working. Ideal for tropics as leaves the skin soft and pearly, not greasy and thick.Great
The clinique moisturiser lives up to the hype and great product ratings. It leaves your skin hydrated, soft and supple, without any oily feel to the skin. It did not irritate my skin or cause it to break out. The smell is normal, nothing overpowering it is very pleasant. I have combined this moisturiser with the cleansers in the range and hope to see improved results with the combined use of these. This is perfect for my skin which is combination/oily.LOVE
Love this moisturiser - great for sensitive skin. Used this everyday whilst travelling in the 40 degree heat and my skin was so nice and hydrated.okay
I got a sample of this and honestly it’s nice but i like something more hydrating/thick at night. i have normal skin with dry patches and it doesnt do much for the dry patchesits okay
I got this product as a sample and gave it a go. I wouldn't say its super moisturising i find it almost too absorbing and doesn't really blend onto the skin smoothly. I probably wouldnt purchase it but would recommend as different skin types react differently to everything - I definitely recommend getting a sample to try firstNot as moisturising as I hoped
I really liked the consistency of this product. It was a bit sticky and felt a bit dry on my face. The reason for this could be because of my extremely dry skin. Although the product didn't work for me, I would recommend for those with combination-oily skin.Highly recommend
I got this as a free sample and I took it with me in a short trip. The cream was so silky smooth to apply and left my skin feeling really hydrated. It was perfect for applying mid flight. It is quite expensive though but I would like to purchase.Definitely had more moisterising creams
Don't know if the claims this products makes are real, at least for me. I have combo skin and I don't find this product that moisterising at all considering the claims it makes. Definitely tried better and would not re purchase this productBaby soft skin :)
This is my favourite moisturiser, It keeps my skin really hydrated and plump and I get no dry patches at all when I use this, it doesn't break me out either which is a massive plus. I love the creme gel texture of This, I feel like it kind of locks in all the moisture into my skin and it just makes my skin feel smooth and soft without feeling heavy! I would definitely recommend this to anyone struggling with dry skin, it makes an amazing night cream, and also works well under my makeup :)Hit and miss for me I'm afraid!
I wanted to love this after seeing all the great reviews, but I just wasn't that impressed. I have combination skin with dry cheeks and oily t-zone, and while it absorbs quickly and feels nice for the first few hours, after I while my skin started to feel dry. 72 hours is a big claim, and I've used other oil-free moisturisers which keep my skin looking more supple. Another downside is the packaging, I hate scooping it out with my fingers as it feels unhygienic!Love
Super hydrating and nourishing for normal skin. I apply this after the clinique anti blemish solution and makes my skin feel silky and hydrated. I feel like i wake up with softer skin when usingLove it
I have very combination yet sensitive skin and found it difficult to find a moisturiser that addresses all of my skin concerns.... until I used this. I can honestly say this is the best moisturiser I have used to date. It smooths and hydrates without feeling heavy, and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. It's perfect for under makeup. I will however say that "72 hour hydration" is a bit of a fib... but definitely hydrates for the whole day. Love it.
