Most Helpful Positive Review Loving this!!! For someone with oily/combination/acne prone skin this is brilliant.This lightweight product contains no heavy emollients and sets to a matte soft finish.The blue beads this formula contains sometimes take a bit to rub in,but not bad.Love that it's fragrance and irritant free,thank you for keeping menthol etc out which are usually in men's products and just cause a tingly feeling and redness for us sensitive skin type.
Most Helpful Critical Review Really? ANOTHER moisturizer? Really, Clinique?! ANOTHER moisturizer?! There are plenty of moisturizers for both men and women, so please, stop! This latest offering for men was a complete dud for me. It did absolutely nothing. While I give high praise for the nice packaging of this product (no tubes!), it did NOTHING for my skin other than make it oily. With two options of moisturizers in the regular 3-step program, plus one with an SPF, in addition to the Maximum Hydrator, as well as the 2 In 1 Skin Hydrator + Beard Conditioner, is there REALLY a need to peddle ANOTHER moisturizer to us guys? I'd rather see your research and development/new product efforts put towards reworking the absolutely horrible Anti-Age men's product that has both lackluster results and reviews. Oh, and by the way, that's another moisturizer, too. See my point, Clinique? How about a GOOD anti-aging product with retinol or a retinyl palmitate in it? Being experts in skincare, I'm confident you understand the importance of vitamin A in skincare -- especially from an anti-aging standpoint. I'd love to see the return of REAL skincare products that WORK from Clinique. One example of this, as I outlined in a previous product review, was the Men's Turnaround Lotion. That was one of your TRUE performers back in the day that I was NEVER without. In fact, whenever I started to run low on a tube of that stuff, I'd start to panic. It de-aged my face, smoothed (with salicylic acid) and made facial hair SOOO smooth for easier shaves, and gave a nice glow to my skin, and it moisturized -- it should have been called "Does-It-All for Men." I miss that product immensely! When you retired it, I no longer continued to purchase Clinique en masse as I had for many years. Again, please stop with these basic "moisturizers." I, for one, would love to see something in the men's line that's a bit more advanced and potent.

Ann from MA
Hydrating and refreshing at the same time. Even though it is a men's product, I think it is perfect for both men and women who prefer a refreshing hydrating moisturizer for hot weather.
The Best 5

Loveee 5
Ashley from Tampa
I've started staying over at my boyfriend's lately and I didn't have any face lotion w me but his mom had bought him this for Christmas and I was like "It'll do" but it does more than that and is super moisturizing without making my skin super oily!
My husband actually uses it 5
Corgi_mom from AR
I got this moisturizer for my husband. Packaging was appealing for him. He says it doesn't leave his sick feeling sticky or greasy like the "yellow" moisturizer (lotion) that I use. Soaks in well. I can tell his skin has been looking healthier since he has been using.
Best for all skin types 5
Mars20 from Illinois
I got this as a gift for the hubby and now purchase this for him on a monthly basis. His skin is always moisturized. He even used it on the beard. Great product and I recommend it to all my friends!

Ordered this for my husband and he likes it a lot! He recently became more interested in a skincare routine since he's approaching age 40, now a Clinique For Men customer for life!

I Bought the set for my husband so he can work on his skin care routine. He fell in love with the hydrator most! he says it moisturizes his face without leaving any greasy residue, mind you he has combination skin.
I'm Hooked. 5
Brando from Tempe, AZ
I hate the feeling of anything on my face and this moisturizing gel is a great alternative. It's so light and nourishing and I actually use it everyday, which I've never done before. I took it on vacation and used it everyday after being in the sun and my forehead and nose didn't peel like it usually does. Definitely works! I love the packaging and the dispensing system so you don't waste a single drop. Smells unusual but I actually like it.
Phenomenal! 5

what my skin needs! 5
Greg1970 from Portland, OR
I was wary about putting something blue on my face, to be honest. I dont want to look like an alien! BUT....I love it! It absorbs quickly, makes my face super smooth and soft, but firm. Been using it for about a month now, seeing results! Don't change this product, please....
Excellent Hydration Without that Oily Feel 5
JohnE from Seattle
I use it everyday, immediately after showering. Keeps skin feeling hydrated all day without the oily feel. This is my favorite product from Clinique.
Superb all in one care 5
George from Athens
A truly great product!
It renews the skin thanks to the anti-aging Vit C which penetrates in the deeper layers , it firms up and hydrates the skin.
Congrats Clinique!!
Skins stays hydrated for very long 5

I really like the feeling right after putting it, skin stays hydrated for super long.
Awesome facial moisturizer for a man 5
Dr. Gator from Weston, FL
Got this as part of a gift, which included several Clinique products. I really like this as an all purpose moisturizer. I use it after showering in the morning, whether I shave or not. I use it at night after I wash my face. Always leaves my skin feeling refreshed. A bit expensive, but great product!
Not just for men! 5
sammie from CALIFORNIA
A friend let me use his Maximum Hydrator product. After application of the product before bed, it leaves my skin a little sticky -- an aloe-type of feeling. It definitely kept my face moisturized throughout the night, and in the morning, I can still feel it on my skin. The morning after the first use, I noticed that it had shrunk my acne -- this is what I'm talking about! I can never find drugstore products that work to treat my acne, but this Clinique product definitely works on my skin, by not just keeping my skin moisturized, but also working to zap my pimples! That's a 2-in-1 right here. Definitely recommend!
Makes my skin glow 5

My husband loves this product. He uses it in the morning.
Great Packaging! 3
SkyJet from Irvine, CA
This moisturizer offers lightweight hydration and is best suited for those individuals with Oily/Acne complexions. I find that it is a little drying in nature. I have to apply twice as much product in order to have a well hydrated complexion. I feel that the new Clinique ID moisture jelly is a much better alternative than this product.
Love it! 5
Mary from Alabama
I know it's for men but hey I was out of face cream!! I got a gift package for my husband with this in it and he never used it. It's a little sticky during the drying phase but it goes away after a few minutes. Other than that it moisturizes very well. If you have very dry skin this could work wonders. I have very oily skin and it doesn't look or feel greasy AT ALL!! Man or woman this is a great product.
Hydrating but not oily, highly recommended 4
thisisdave from Chicago
Love the packaging as well, great for winter to summer, especially for guys 30 & older. Not the perfect 5 star because of the blue dye & price.
Maximum Hydrator 4
AllisonC from AK
Excellent moisturizer; absorbs fairly quickly, but does remain tacky for a while longer than I'm used to. If you use a powder foundation, this might be ideal as it acts as a primer somewhat. Tried this as a replacement for a discontinued Wonen's moisturizer. I will continue to search for an alternative. I believe this may contain caffeine - as a result, I will only use in a.m. and never in the evening.
Moisture that lasts 5
MaRed from TX
I received this as a sample and really, really like it. It moisturizes well and lasts a long time. I especially like how it works on callouses and rough areas. It says for men but I like it for my skin too! :)
It looks so beautiful 5
