3-Step Skin Care System - Step 3 : Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+

Really small amount of this product is enough to have moisturized skin

10+ years

I have been using this moisturizer for 10+ years. Nothing works on my skin as this one and I have never had any complaints. Works is all seasons.

personal savior & mortal enemy. Bad in dry climate

Don’t let the stars dissuade you — I genuinely love this product. But this is a “mixed bag” review. I’m going to start out with something positive. This was my mom’s holy grail for years. She used it every day from 30-67 years old, along with other Clinique products. She initially started using Clinique to treat her adult acne. Despite frying herself in the sun as a child, at 75 she looks 60, at most. And she puts it all down to Clinique, and DDML in particular. So, starting off there: it’s a tried and true product that gets major devotees. I used it growing up to counter my acne-treatment causes dryness, too. At first only used it at night cos it made me look and feel greasy. That’s still an issue today. But it DID fix my tret dryness, so it has a lot of love from 15-20 year old me. (I’m 34 now.) It never felt greasy on my mom, but her skin is much dryer than mine and soaks up product like a sponge. When I got older and started using foundation (bare minerals powder, hello fellow 90s kids) it was AMAZING. The powder fixed the greasy part and it sat great on my skin. Now for the mixed bag part. First, liquid foundations. They hate this stuff. It’s hell getting it to blend. It’s made every liquid foundation I’ve tried pill like crazy. It only plays well with mattifying mineral sunscreens. The other thing: this is NOT suitable for dry climates!!! I cannot say this enough. It uses oils and hyaluronic acid — great in humid places. But if it’s even moderately dry, this will suck you even dryer, because there’s no water in the air to suck! It is a moisture vampire. Spritzing your face with water before and after helps some, but not a lot. If you’re in a dry climate, I recommend the moisture surge line. Both my mother and I switched when she moved to the desert. The aloe gives the HA enough water to work with for moderately dry places. On really dry summer or cold dry winter days, I also spritz with water with it.

Definitely a must-have

I have used 3 sample tubes of this and i finally decided to just buy the big one, it is the only moisturizer that keeps my face moisturized and smooth all day even at school and in the winter. It does have a bit of a funky smell, but it's fine if you get used to it.

SO GOOD

I got this as a gift and it is so good it has so much product in it and it leaves my dry skin nice and glowy. I will definitely repurchase this

After using this product for the past year my skin has had such an amazing change! It hydrates my skin and makes it feel so soft and I will forever be repurchasing this!

Gentle moisturizer for soothing excema breakouts!!

Gentle moisturizer for soothing excema breakouts. Even safe to use around eyes. It's made a dramatic difference in winter skin issues.

Feels so good on my skin

I tried the Clinique moisturizer and it felt very moisturizing and hydrating.

Not recommend this product - very difficult to apply and blend into the skin.

Meh, not so great for oily skin

Picked up on a whim, good moisturizer however I believe there is better out there. It does make my skin feel greasy at the end of the day so it’s not the right fit for me. Probably works better for drier skin types. those

Best face lotion EVER

I have been using this product for about a year now, I first received it in a ipsy bag and since then I fell in love. My skin is a combination of oily and dry and this face lotion is the best for me. It keeps my skin looking amazing and feeling amazing!

Classic. I love it now and have loved it for years!
