Most Helpful Positive Review No more dry skin! I first received the original version of this moisturizer over the past couple of years with other Clinique purchases and liked it ok. I have tried store brand moisturizers of many kinds and my face still would be dry in the morning. And as I age my face seemed to be getting more and more dry. I saw reviews of this new and improved version of their signature moisturizer and decided I would give it a try. It's fabulous! I don't wake up in the morning with the dry flakiness I had grown accustom to! My face is moist, not oily. It absorbs quickly without a filmy residue. Perfect for the middle aged woman in need of a serious moisturizer that works!
Most Helpful Critical Review NEW Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ I have used Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion (DDML) for a couple of decades, and I loved it.....so why change something that doesn't need changing? I have never had any complaints and/or concerns about the outcome of my skin using DDML, but sad to say that has changed. I tried the DDML+ for the first time, and I felt like I had used Vasoline instead of DDLM (in fact, that is why I started using DDLM in the first place several decades ago, for it didn't have the feel of a greasy product on my face). I will be buying, or in other words stocking-up, a couple of bottles of the original DDLM and hope that Clinique minuses the plus out of the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion by the time my last bottle is empty....so Clinique please minus the plus out of Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion (or provide both products so Clinique loyal customers can choose the lotion that fits them best.)

Loyal Clinique user. Sensitive and dry/combination skin.
This product when used alone, it's quite weak in skin moisturizing and smoothing. I use in a regimen with Clinique Clarifying Lotion exfoliator daily and a twice a week The Ordinary AHA BHA peel. After the application of the Clinique ID, I still use my Turn Around Overnight for moisture, because the Clinique ID is not enough. The combination of these products have given me a much smoother look and feel, but the Clinique ID is probably not worth the price for me. I'm sure The Ordinary has something at a much better price point.
This is my new staple product! I adore it 5
Tori from Ringgold, GA
I use this product right after cleanser, toner, and serum at night. It leaves me feeling very hydrated. In the morning I do the same with the exception of the serum, which keeps my skin hydrated throughout the day, but not greasy or oily.
Interesting 5
Ann from Location
I was very surprised with this hydrating jelly! I never expected it to feel so fresh. I was hesitant considering all the reviews but I thought I would try it anyway. Let me tell you I am not disappointed!
Great Moisturizer 5
Mandy from Illinois
I have normal to dry skin. I was dealing with really dry skin in my tzone, ive been using this the past month and its helped significantly with my dryness. Only downfall for me is it says fragrance free but when I first put it on it has a weird smell, luckily that does go away quickly. definitely would buy again for the winter months.
Forgot how much I love clinique products! 5
BossBrunette from Indiana
I had switched a couple years ago to a more expensive brand. I just got bored basically and wanted to try other things out. I was in my local store after Thanksgiving, saw a travel size of the hydrating jelly, and snagged it to give it a try. Needless to say, I am now back to Clinique. I have oily skin and the hydrating jelly works great for me. I am ALOT less oily in the evenings. I suppose the grass isn't always greener on the other side after all! Guess I'm a Clinique lifer!
Only used it for 5 days and starting to see a difference! 4
Kaly from Lancaster, PA
I use it every morning after I wash my face. Feels refreshing.
LOVE IT 5
Daniella the shopper from MI
I use this with the green cartilage (Aloe?) based off the discription of the two and what it was I needed. They go well together and help tame down the natural red/pink in my cheeks as my skin is sensitive. It gives a good fresh moisture feeling to your skin, but due to my skin being complex, and the season, I sometimes add an additional moisture (Burt's Bees) on top to feel amazing!
3 years strong 5
Dry Biss from WA, USA
I live in a dry area and i have super dry skin so its perfect. I hate the feeling of products, so its perfect that I don't notice it on. Use a primer or wait time before applying base makeup if you use it, it can get slippery if not.
I buy this product for my husband. 5
Jojo from Palatine, IL
This was purchased for my husband. He has been using the M lotion for more than 15 years but switched to this about 8 years ago because you can get a larger size. My husband swears by it.
My forever favorite 5
Lindsay from Pennsylvania
I have been using this moisturizer daily for YEARS and it is the best I've ever tried. I have normally dry skin and this is always my saving grace. Sometimes in the winter I do need something stronger but this is perfect for every day

Anneon from Pullman
this was the only thing that changed in my routine and it broke me out to badly I've been able to get my skin back to normal since 2 months I wouldn't recommend for sensitive skin of color

I do not like the smell of this product. 1
J from Ny ny
I do not like the smell of this product. Please make it lighter with a nicer smell
Has mineral oil in it! 1
Sierra from TN
I use to use this faithfully until I started breaking out. I realized it was the mineral oil that they put in it. As soon as I stopped using the lotion my face cleared up. Lotion is priced pretty high and it's a high end brand so I'm not sure why they still use mineral in it.
doesn't work too well 2
mark from y

Great for Oily-Combo Skin 5
Jay from NC
If you have oily-combination skin, this lotion is a great moisturizer. I've been using it along with the 3-step process for about 2 weeks and I'm impressed. Plus I don't have to worry about having oily, greasy skin as the day continues.
Blue cartridge (pores + texture) with clear gel: no results 2
ingrown hair girl from united states
This product is ok as a moisturizer, and didn't irritate my sensitive skin. But it didn't do anything either. I got it to help with scarring, ingrown fine hairs from shaving/skin picking (PCOS), and it didn't help at all. Going back to old routine Paula's choice exfoliating gel followed by marula oil, which works waaaaay better.
MY HOLY GRAIL MOISTURIZER 5
JayJay from Honolulu, HI
I have been using this moisturizer for a couple of years now and I never stopped using it. The gel formula with the Uneven Skin Texture and Pores cartridge has FOR REAL "dramatically" changed my skin! It's also perfect for oily skin and I don't need to worry about it messing up my makeup. It's my holy grail and it will be hard to top.
It's not worth the smell 2
J Mils from Buffalo ny
To be fair-- it's my own fault for not paying close enough attention to the product name. I'm a die-hard fan of the gel version of this lotion and have been for sometime now. I bought this thinking it was that. Cracked it open to give it a try and I couldn't believe the smell. It smells like tire rubber. Aggressively so. If this were the first clinique product I was trying it would've been enough to turn me off the the line completely. Luckily I saved my receipt and plan to return this ASAP and already have another gel version on the way.
Wanted to like it 2
Hibo from Virginia
I have dry skin and was really excited to try this. Unfortunately it did nothing for me. Not worth it.
Great for my skin type 5
AJ from CT
I use this product once a day, every day for my oily skin - it works perfectly as intended. My skin remains shine-free all day long. I pair it with the Clinique iD Active Cartridge (White) to maintain an even skin tone, which definitely helps. It doesn't get rid of my acne spots, but despite that my skin tone looks even. I love these two together, and I appreciate the first time I went to Ulta someone helped me select these two items together. I was using Aveeno on my face prior, and my skin would still remain super oily. I love this product, and I don't plan on switching anytime soon.
