Benefits
- All Skin Types
- Concern: Dehydration, dry skin.
- Clinique's daily moisturizer for face with SPF 28 delivers the hydration you love from Moisture Surge, plus sheer sun protection.
- This cloud-like cream with Aloe Bioferment + Hyaluronic Acid Complex and provitamin D penetrates deep into skin's surface for all-day stabilizing hydration.
- Leaves skin hydrated and glowing—not shiny.
- It helps keep the sun’s glow from dulling yours. SPF 28 filters up to 96% of UV rays when used as directed.*
- *UV rays associated with sunburn; based on SPF testing.
- Protecting your skin against UV rays has many benefits. UV exposure can: Exacerbate existing dark spots and trigger new ones. Speed up visible aging. Interfere with skin's natural turnover for more noticeable pores. Lead to irritation, which can leave skin looking tired.
- For all skin tones—even for deep skin tones. Looks opaque going on, blends in sheer. Without a white cast, residue, or stickiness.
- Preps for Makeup: Lightweight moisturizer with SPF provides a smooth canvas for makeup application.

- Dermatologist tested. Allergy tested. 100% fragrance free.
Key Ingredients
- Aloe Bioferment + Hyaluronic Acid Complex: combines two hydrating ingredients into one powerhouse complex to help attract moisture and retain it.
- Aloe bioferment: Clinique scientists transformed the aloe vera plant through an exclusive fermentation process. One of the benefits of fermentation is that it breaks apart larger molecules into smaller ones, making them more easily absorbed into skin.
- Made with lactobacillus, activated aloe water, and responsibly sourced and certified organic aloe extract powder, this nutrient-rich ingredient helps skin retain moisture.

Is this product used in place of the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion or in conjunction? If together, which is applied first?

Moisture Surge Broad Spectrum SPF 28 Sheer Hydrator Moisturizer is an excellent choice for keeping skin continuously hydrated throughout the day and protecting it against harmful UVA & UVB rays. This can be used as your daily moisturizer for the day.

I read reviews on the moisture surge 28 on how it pills over Clinique serum and foundation. I too had that problem. Which decided not to use the moisture surge 28 any more. Then I decided to try again, the problem was after the serum you must give the serum time to sink into your skin. You can get dress etc while waiting. Each person is different on how long. Then I Followed with the moisture surge 28. Again you need to wait. Then foundation. I use the Clinique Clinical serum foundation. This goes for all facial products. I am now following this routine and love the moisture surge 28 and the serum. Problem gone. Just had to answer in these reviews.

Not as good as I expected
I received this product free to try in exchange for my honest review. The packaging is appealing. It came in a box which was the signature Clinique green color and showed what the jar would look like. The jar itself is attractive with a heavy pink glass container and a silver lid.

I've worn Clinique all my adult life. I totally recommend this product with SPF, especially for us in South Texas!

Love the way it feels on my face.

I have used the moisture surge moisturizer for years! The SPF is a great addition! It blends and absorbs easily, a little goes a long way. It doesnt cause breakouts. Can easily apply makeup over top with no issue. Please keep this product around!
Not the results I was looking for!

I bought this during the Black Friday sale week and just started using it now in the summer months. I thought it would be perfect for days when I'm just going to be out in the sun occasionally (and don't need something with a higher SPF). Unfortunately, what I recently figured out is that this product is making my face break! I'm nearly 70! I haven't dealt with my face breaking out in decades. Sadly, I don't see how I can keep using this. Now I'm hesitant to buy another Clinique product with SPF. I see the DDMR now has an option with SPF 35 but I'd hate to buy another product I won't be able to use.
I will buy this product again.
This cream goes on smooth and easy. Leaves my skin with a nice dewy look.
