Even for Clinique this is amazing! I consider Clinique a top of the line company, lots of "science" goes into the products. I had been searching out something to smooth my slightly crepey under eyes. This is not really an "eye area" moisturizer, but since it is hypo allergenic, I thought I'd try it because I adore the action on the rest of my face. Bravo! Clinique!! Put a small dab on eye area tapped/smoothed it in. No burning of eyes, No irritation at all, and Lo behold! My creepiness was gone! Smooth plump skin all around my eyes. Also soaked in to dry touch in minutes, could apply makeup almost immediately. I wish I had this years ago! It's a large jar for an extremely reasonable price.Id previously tried every eye cream I could. Skin medica came close, but ... MoreEven for Clinique this is amazing!

Skin medica came close, but still, the creamy consistency didn't allow for quick soak in makeup application. This gel formula is IT! Ladies of "a certain age" please give it a try, I doubt you'll be disappointed!!

I bought this on my trip to Switzerland. This moisturiser is an oil-free cream-gel that delivers instant rehydration. Your skin will maintain its plump and comfortable feel, even a full day after application. With consistent use, this cream strengthens and restores your skin's moisture barrier, effectively locking in hydration and shielding against environmental irritants. A fortified barrier equals happier skin. I'd personally incorporated this cream into my day and nighttime routine and it took me 4 months to finish the jar. I can confidently vouch for its effectiveness. Unlike the original Moisture Surge, which boasts a translucent gel consistency, this one is more of an opaque gel-like cream. Waking up, my skin feels both hydrated and supple. Pros: 1. Swift ... MoreI bought this on my trip to Switzerland. This moisturiser is an oil-free cream-gel that delivers instant rehydration.

Waking up, my skin feels both hydrated and supple. Pros: 1. Swift absorption of the lightweight gel-based cream. 2. Completely fragrance-free formulation. 3. Leaves the skin soft and supple. 4. Didn't worsen my existing acne situation. Cons: 1. It might lean towards the pricey side for those on a budget. (expensive in usa compared to EU) 2. Availability can be limited depending on your location.

Many clinic lines are similar to each other, so I don’t see the point in spending time describing the packaging. Let me tell you right away that the jar is glass. For me this is a definite plus. There is a protective case, which is again an advantage. The consistency of the cream is gel-like. Visually, the product may seem dense. But the product feels thin and watery to the touch. From body heat it melts and turns into gel water. It absorbs instantly into my skin and hydrates almost lightning fast. CLINIQUE Moisture Surge Intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator face cream is fragrance-free, so its aroma is quite specific. Many manufacturers refuse to use perfume in their care so as not to cause skin irritation.

Absolutely Unreal

I never write reviews. It usually doesn't occur to me, especially if I'm satisfied with a purchase. In this case, however, I have to talk about my experience. It was just that good. I've been struggling with red, very dry skin with a lot of texture. This is really uncommon for me, and I wasn't sure what to do. I tried a few creams and serums and everything felt so superficial with no real change. I've been using this product now for about a week, and my skin is entirely different. My skin feels smoother, the redness is gone and it feels plump and bouncy. My skin just feels replenished, and I'm sincerely so impressed with this product. If you're dealing with very dry skin, I highly, highly recommend this.

Caused breakouts!

My face became itchy and bumpy within a few days of using this. I don't believe it was the Dimethicone on its own to blame, as it usually takes time for it to build up in my skin, but more likely: Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Copolymer which has caused issues for me before. As soon as I stopped using it, the itchiness and bumps disappeared within 24 hours. In terms of hydration I didn't notice a big difference. Upon closer inspection of the packaging I can see why: the good stuff (Sodium Hyaluronate, Aloe etc) are much further down the list and therefore lower in quantity. I can only imagine this working well for non-dehydrated skin types. ~ My Top 5 Beauty Must-Have list ~1. Hair Loss Treatment: ‘Divine Herbal’ - Hair Oil2.

Fantastic product, super hydrating

I was actually hesitant to try this product as I noticed there are worse reviews for this one than the regular Moisture Surge, which is a product I absolutely love. Luckily, I took the plunge and decided to get this Intense version of my favourite moisturiser. During Winter my skin is getting more and more dehydrated these days, and I wanted something a little more intensely moisturising than the gel.I am absolutely loving this moisturiser! It is different to the regular moisture surge in that it is more of a light cream rather than a gel. Still, it is light and not heavy at all. It sinks in very fast and feels very hydrating. I appreciate that like the other moisture surge moisturiser, it is fragrance free.Two other things to note about this moisturiser:1) Even ... MoreI was actually hesitant to try this product as I noticed there are worse reviews for this one than the regular Moisture Surge, which is a product I absolutely love.

I appreciate that like the other moisture surge moisturiser, it is fragrance free.Two other things to note about this moisturiser:1) Even though it is specifically formulated for dry skin, it is also suitable for oily/combination skin, which I have, as it's not too thick. As far as I've noticed, it's non-comedogenic (doesn't clog my pores).2) There are some fantastic gift packs you can get this full size moisturiser in. I got one with the overnight mask too, which I also love. The value is excellent!

Finally my dry, flaky skin is gone!!!

My face took the harshest beating during this past Alberta winter & I could not get rid of the dryness & flaking. I had been using Lancome for decades and even that didn't help. Since I use all Clinique make up I decided to try the trial size of this moisturizer & within less than a week my dry, flaky skin was gone. What a relief. I immediately went to the store & purchased the large jar, as well as the Moisture Surge night mask, the Moisture Surge with SPF & numerous other Clinique products. I couldn't be happier!!!! My skin again has a glow again & hasn't looked this good in awhile. I will definitely be sticking with Clinique for my skin care routine. Thank you Clinique for saving this old face!!!

Hydrating yet light weight

I started using this product as it was recommended by my mum. This product has a gel cream consistency and is fragrance free which I knew would neither clog my pores nor irritate my skin. I used to live in a hot and humid climate where I had oily combination skin. As a result, I only used it at night. Every morning when I wake up, it leaves my skin looking healthy, glowing and hydrated. I’m currently living in a country with dryer climate and my skin has become dryer. Therefore, I am able to use this both day and night! I find that this moisturiser doesn’t leave a sticky feeling and absorbs into the skin really well. So far I have been enjoying this product and have repurchased it multiple times. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to try. I feel that you won’t go ... MoreI started using this product as it was recommended by my mum.

Try for a moisture boost

I went back to Clinique after trying some very generous free products from another high end skincare and cosmetics company.I use the Clinique redness solutions moisturiser normally but felt I needed a boost in the chilly winter weather .I was recommended this on live chat 💬 because I mentioned that I didn't really get on with the 100hr version of this ( I got free samples with purchase and felt it wasn't very moisturising )This 72hr cream seems to be a better fit for my skin .As some other reviews have stated , it doesn't absorb as well as some other moisturisers so I tend to use at night so the excess that is sat on my skin doesn't matter so much .I have rosacea and it doesn't aggravate it .I also use the moisture surge night mask some evenings though , that ... MoreI went back to Clinique after trying some very generous free products from another high end skincare and cosmetics company.I use the Clinique redness solutions moisturiser normally but felt I needed a boost in the chilly winter weather .I was recommended this on live chat 💬 because I mentioned that I didn't really get on with the 100hr version of this ( I got free samples with purchase and felt it wasn't very moisturising )This 72hr cream seems to be a better fit for my skin .As some other reviews have stated , it doesn't absorb as well as some other moisturisers so I tend to use at night so the excess that is sat on my skin doesn't matter so much .I have rosacea and it doesn't aggravate it .I also use the moisture surge night mask some evenings though , that might make a difference

if you have DRY skin, this is for you!

This is a great moisturizer, IF you have very dry skin. If you're oily or even combo, try the original Moisture Surge (which is a great product!). Moisture Surge Intense is a really thick and rich cream that takes a while to soak in/absorb all the way. The texture of the cream is much thicker and denser than their regular Moisture Surge which is much more gel-like.This is not for people with normal or combo skin let alone oily. This is for those of us who experience flaking, peeling, and severe dryness. I use tretinoin which makes my skin super dry. This is one of the few moisturizers that does enough for my dry skin AND it doesn't sting or burn or have any problematic ingredients like fragrance. I am acne-prone but this doesn't clog my pores or break me out. If ... MoreThis is a great moisturizer, IF you have very dry skin.
