• Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion // review •


I'm very loyal to my current moisturiser, so something has to 
really wow me for me to be impressed.

And for the most part, I do quite like this moisturiser. It's hydrating, has quite a thick consistency so it keeps my skin very moisturised, and it doesn't clog my pores or break me out. One thing I don't like about it, though? The fact that I can't wear it under make up. Now I have to make a quick note here - I have combination skin, so what might work/not work for me, may not be the same for you. However, each and every time I tried to wear this under make up (8 times, so I gave it a good run) my make up would just slide off. Even when I used my benefit Porefessional primer. Even when I used my Clarins Beauty Balm. Even when I powdered my skin to set my foundation. I'm not sure what on Earth else I'm meant to do to make my make up stay put, but in the end I gave up. 

For days when I don't wear make up, however, this moisturiser is an absolute dream. It is so so moisturising that I still feel moisture after a day of wearing it! It is thick but it feels light on the skin, you only need a tiny amount to be able to blend it onto your face and neck, and it doesn't have an offensive scent. So, for days when my face goes naked, this product is perfect. I'm still on the hunt for that under-makeup moisturiser though...

Have you tried this moisturiser?
What do you think of it?

      That's okay lovely. I recommend LUSH Full of Grace and NUDE treatment oil for oily/combo skin. Daniela xo

    I have this from a Clinique 3 step set and I love it! I've not really found an issue with makeup, how long do you leave between applying it? I leave like 10 minutes normally :) I really love the feel of The Body Shop Vitamin E sorbet, it has a similar feel to this so maybe worth trying!

      I leave it about 5-10 minutes - perhaps I'm not leaving it long enough? I'll definitely look into the sorbet, thanks for the recommendation lovely! Daniela xo

    I might buy myself this as a casual weekend moisturiser, for no make-up days. I have combination skin too so I hope this works for me like it does for you x

    I've wanted this for ages but because I have similar skin to you I'll avoid this, I already struggle with my makeup sliding off already haha xx

    This used to be my favorite as well! I stopped using it for the exact reason of it not being compatible with my makeup! It's a great moisturizer, and I repurchased it at least 4 times... but I couldn't bring myself to spend more money on something I couldn't thoroughly enjoy. :P

      Ahh so it's not just me then! That's the thing, I can't purchase something if it doesn't 100% work for me every single day, especially when its high end. Daniela xo

    Sad that it doesn't work well underneath makeup! I currently use Simple Moisturizer and its definitely made a difference to my skin!

      I used to use Simple then switched to LUSH! I remember liking it, though. Daniela xo

    Annoying that it doesn't work well with makeup, this definitely wouldn't be one for me!

      I just can't deal with make up slipping off my face after I've worked hard at it! Daniela xo

    Shame that as I really like the moisturising gel, I feel like Clinique moisturisers are pretty much hit/miss although I swear by their SPF face products (Superfense, City block) xx
