After cleansing, clarifying lotion I then use Clinique Clinical repair wrinkle serum then moisture surge. My questionis would i still use my repair wrinkle serum? Or could i alternate the two serums.? Would i also still use moisture surge.?
- Asked by Judy
- Official Answer By Clinique USThank you for your question! Moisture Surge Active Glow Serum and Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Serum should not be applied together, but can be used separately. So, we suggest alternating these, one in the morning and one at night. And, you will still follow your choice of serum with your AM or PM moisturizer. Your skin will be glowing and radiant!Was this answer helpful to you

I saw this advertised on tv. I looked up on ULTA which I love and shop always. I read that it makes your skin glow, Moisturize and hydrates. I'm 80 yesrs old and skin doing pretty good as the Ulta Beauty advisers said. I am worried about this glowing skin. I don't want to be dull looking skin but don't want this glow either. I use moisture surge line. I kove. Not sure if its right for me, i wear Clinique clincial serum foundation and on combination skin and looks great on. Also if you say its not to glowy would it work with my foundation. About this glow? Thank you.
- Asked by Judy
- Official Answer By Clinique USThis is a lightweight serum that smooths skin, hydrates, and when we say glow, we mean it boosts the look of healthy, radiant skin. It is not shimmery. Apply after 3-step skin care (after Dramatically Different Moisturizer) but before any thicker moisturizers. Apply am and pm all over the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. If dryness, pores, smoothness, and or dullness are your concerns, this serum is for you.Was this answer helpful to you

Promising Hydration, But Not a Match for My Skin

Saved my dry winter skin

I was gifted this product by Clinique through Gloss Angeles Confidential. This serum SAVED my dry winter skin. I was battling the worst dry skin I've ever had before I was gifted this product. In less than two weeks, my skin went from dry and dull to soft and glowy. This has to be the best serum I've ever used with the quickest results. I'll 100% be purchasing this on my own. Thanks Clinique!!!

I've been using the Clinique Moisture Surge Active Glow Serum for about 2 weeks now, and while I haven't seen a huge difference yet, there are some subtle changes worth noting. Pros: I haven't experienced any breakouts, which is a big win for my skin. It does leave me looking a bit more glowy—less dull overall—with a slightly more even skin tone. I also really like how well it layers under my makeup; it doesn't feel heavy or interfere with my routine, which is a plus. Cons: The dropper is a letdown—it dispenses too much product at once and feels kind of cheap and messy, even though the bottle itself looks nice. For the first few days, I noticed some redness and sensitivity around my nose. It wasn't quite a breakout, more like my skin reacting to something (maybe the lactic acid?), but thankfully it calmed down after a few hours. Overall: I'm curious to see how this serum performs over more time. The hydration hasn't blown me away yet, but I'm hopeful it might improve as I play around with layering it in different "sandwich" combos with my other products. It's not a game-changer for me so far, but the glow and makeup compatibility make it worth continuing. If you're sensitive to new ingredients or picky about applicators, you might want to keep that in mind. I was gifted this product by Clinique through Gloss Angeles Confidential.
Pleasantly surprised by how effective this was

I was gifted this product by Clinique through Gloss Angeles Confidential. This product surprised me in how much it made my skin glow. I was worried this would irritate or dry out my skin but I was pleasantly surprised at how within a few days my skin looked more hydrated and radiant. I liked that it was unscented and that it came in a dropper to control the amount applied to my skin. I have been using this for several weeks now and my skin seems to really love this product.
This really grew on me!

When I first received this product, I wasn't blown away. I normally use serums with lots of actives, from brands that market themselves as focusing on effective/high strength ingredients and modern formulations (Allies of Skin, Dieux, Mother Science, Stratia, etc.), and this one felt a little too "simple" for my taste/routine. However, after using this for two weeks, I now see the appeal of this product and really enjoy using it! It does what it says: adds hydration and makes your skin glowy/dewy and smooth. The low level of lactic acid meant that instead of my usual one or two harsher exfoliation sessions during a week, I was getting more consistent, gentle exfoliation over time with less irritation, which I really liked. My one caveat is that I didn't see any effect from the Vitamin C. It seems to be pretty low on the ingredients list, and therefore low concentration, so I'm not sure how effective it is - perhaps it will just take a longer time for me to see any results. Given this, I think this serum would be great for those who: -Are "new" to serums/actives -Have overused actives and need to give their skin a break and lay off the super strong stuff -Are traveling and need to use something that is gentle and effective but won't cause a reaction -Would rather exfoliate gently and frequently than do harsher peels/acid concentrations infrequently. Overall, this product really grew on me and I find myself using it every day and it has replaced my stronger exfoliating serums. I was gifted this product by Clinique through Gloss Angeles Confidential.

I got it for free. I use it everyday and I feel like this serum makes my skin smoother, brighter. The first day of use, my skin was a little stinging, but after a few days, that feeling went away.
