Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator (Face Cream-Gel)
Product description
What it is: A rich cream-gel hydrator designed to give an immediate burst of moisture and sustain skin hydration for up to 72 hours. The product comes as a single jar of Moisture Surge Intense; Clinique offers it in different size options, including smaller trial/sample sizes and full-size jars.
Key ingredients and texture: The formula blends activated aloe water and cica to calm and comfort strained or dehydrated skin. A trio of skin-friendly lipids helps replenish and reinforce the skin’s barrier so moisture stays locked in. The texture is a non-greasy cream-gel that absorbs readily, leaving a plump, dewy finish.
How to use: Apply morning and night to clean skin. It layers well under sunscreen and makeup and can be used as an on-the-go refresh over makeup. Clinique reports allergy testing and dermatologist testing; the formula is 100% fragrance-free. In consumer testing immediately after use on 106 women — including trials in harsh winter conditions — results showed strong perceptions of protection and hydration in extreme cold. Recommended for Very Dry to Dry Combination skin.

Rich yet breathable
Feels nourishing without weighing skin down. Leaves skin soft for hours and absorbs well—little product goes a long way.

Ideal for autumn and winter
Excellent moisture—rough patches smoothed out. Spreads well so it's cost-effective; I'll buy the larger jar next time.

Staple in my routine
Found this years ago and keep coming back. Spreads easily, mild scent, oil-free and makes skin look healthy. Absorbs well over sunscreen and reduces greasiness.

Noticeable results fast
Very moisturizing if used sparingly. Saw improvement the next day. Works well for dry skin and feels lightweight when applied in small amounts.

Will repurchase
Lightweight, gentle, and leaves skin soft. The jar is small but lasts since a little is enough. I've bought it twice and will buy again.

Worth the investment
Non-greasy, lightweight and works well beneath makeup. Delivers steady hydration and smooths skin—especially good for normal to combination and sensitive types. A bit pricey but effective.

My go-to moisturizer
Extremely hydrating without feeling heavy—great for my dry desert climate and travels. I use it morning and night and for midday touch-ups. Expensive but I prefer investing in skincare.

Perfect for dry, sensitive skin
Tried the trial size and saw a difference by the next day. A little goes far; my summer-dry skin felt soft and smooth. Pleasant scent and long-lasting results despite warm weather.

Not quite enough for harsh winters
Nice texture and good skin feel, but for very dry skin in winter this alone wasn’t sufficient.
