This product has been around for ages and with good reason.
It is a really affordable great quality product. It does what it says and it does not cause me to break out.
It is really light weight and sinks in quite fast and then disappears - it does not leave behind an oily / sticky layer on the skin.
I am yet to try the gel which is more suited for my oily skin type, but I have not had any problems with this one for evening use. I suspect that the gel will just work better for day time under makeup.
If you have not yet tried this one, do go out and get it - it is just that good!
I always receive this as a freebie with my Clinique purchases .. I think it's a great moisturizer,its lightweight yet packs a punch_ my skin just laps it up. It's a must for winter because it will replenish lost mositure and keep skin supple.
I received this moisturiser in my starter pack from Clinique. It doesn't claim to do much on the bottle/box. So I wasn't impressed. Boy was I wrong! It is like butter for your skin! I use other moisturisers with "amazing" claims but I keep coming back to this one. A little goes a long way since it is so potent!
No wonder this product has collected so many beauty awards over the years... it's the bomb!
Used within or seperate to Clinique's 3-Step Skincare System, I never am disappointed with it's claim to be the skin's "drink". The super-smooth texture, light weight & no-fragrance formula, and OVERALL BADASS PERFORMANCE with or without makeup sets this product apart from the rest. This product is so bomb, it sometimes replaces my daily serum, and it never shows!
In the warmer South African season I use the Skin Type #3 gel version, but in Europe or Johannesburg's wintertime, I switch to the Skin Type #2 lotion form.
I'll start off by saying what I don't like about this product:
Firstly, it has no SPF which is not really a deal breaker for me but it would be nice if they came out with an SPF version of the lotion.
Secondly, if you're purchasing the Clinique Skincare System in those wonderful little packs, then you're going to end up with the pump-less version of Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion (DDML) which is a shame because towards the end of the bottle, you're left with a substantial amount of product you just can't get out. The pump version is larger and so much more convenient to use.
Now on to all the things I love about DDM: It really does replenish and moisturize skin. It does so without leaving a greasy and uncomfortable feeling on the skin. After the first use, you'll immediately notice a glow and an improvement in skin texture.
I prefer using the 125ml pump bottle instead of the 50ml pump-less version of the product. Also, I only really about 2 pumps of product for my whole face and in this way, I don't have to worry about wasting any lotion. The 125ml DDML retails for R310.00 and will last a really long time.
Clinique counters usually always give out free samples if you're unsure about your skin type or if you'd like to try out the range before buying so I would definitely recommend visiting the counters and asking for a sample.
