Comments about Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel:
I bought this product thinking I was going to fall in love with it because I heard great things about this moisturizer and that it was perfect for people with oily skin like me but boy was I wrong. I don't usually break out but for some reason, within the first few days of using this product, my skin went going crazy. I thought it was probably just purging and adjusting to moisturizer but it was causing so many cystic pimples all over my face and it was painful. The more I used it, the worse it got so I decided to stop and noticed my skin going back to normal a week or two later. I don't know if it was because it was a gel moisturizer or the ingredients in this product.
Comments about Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel:
I have used this off and on for about 10 years. I'll try something else...but I *always* end up come back to this stuff y'all! It moistures so beautifully & dries quickly without and oily or any type of residue. Tour skin is just soft af. Worth ever penny & it's honestly not that expensive for how amazing it is. Ok, I'm done. Buy it! Haha

Comments about Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel:
I have pretty dry skin but I love the cooling effect of gel moisturizers, which tend to be marketed to oily skin. This product is fantastic at calming my facial redness and smoothing out my face before makeup. I will warn you that the product contains silicone, which is not a big deal (and the reason it smooths out so nicely) however if your face wash does not contain a sulfate it will simply build up on your skin and create breakouts. Just take care that you have a stronger face wash or are diligent with your toners and it should not be an issue.
Pros
- Absorbs Quickly
- Goes On Smoothly
- Moisturizes Well
- Not Greasy
Cons
- Bad Smell
- Not Long-Lasting

Comments about Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel:
I love this stuff. The only problem I had with it was, it didn't last very long on my skin. A few hours later I'm peeling. I am using Retain A treatment for blemishes. That might have something to do with the dryness. I might to use the cream instead of the gel for a little more hydration. Would definitely recommend for someone who is oily.
Comments about Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel:
This gel moisturizer is great for combo skin. It's always good to go with a gel if you have oily skin regular cream can make you more oily. This gel helps keep away oils and doesn't make skin
more oily. I also noticed my skin tone evened out with this. Also doesn't clog pores or sit on skin.
Pros
- Absorbs Quickly
- Goes On Smoothly
- Moisturizes Well
Cons
- No Sun Protection
- Not Long Lasting
Best Uses
- After Shower/Bath
- Daily Use
Comments about Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel:
I love this moisturizer and I use it every morning before work/school. It absorbs quickly and smoothly, it doesn't have a scent, and it doesn't make me look greasy or oily. It isn't THE most moisturizing product so if you have very dry skin I'd recommend the lotion version or a different moisturizer (I use the Moisture Surge at night for added hydration). I do however wish they came out with a SPF version of this product! I love the gel consistency as my pores clog easily but especially since summer's coming around, I'd love something with some protection!

Q:
I have pretty normal skin - not really dry or oily at all. I only have breakouts occasionally. I'm concerned about using the dramatically different lotion that contains oil for fear of that causing a breakout. Would this product work well for my normal skin type? Would I follow this product with my serum (smart serum), eye cream (smart eye serum) and then another moisturizer (I use the smart day and night cream)? Would this product even be necessary with my other products? Thanks in advance!Asked on 4/1/2018 by tori from tipton1 answer
