- 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.

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.

- Q
Is this product used in place of the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion or in conjunction? If together, which is applied first?
- Asked by BettyBoop
- Official Answer By Clinique USThanks for asking! 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. However, if you prefer to use both moisturizers for added hydration benefits, then we suggest applying Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ first and then following with Moisture Surge Broad Spectrum SPF 28 Sheer Hydrator Moisturizer after.Was this answer helpful to you

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. The glass is quite...

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.
Makes my face red

Ive used the regular moisture surge product for years and I love it, so I thought I would love this as well. My face gets very red when I wear it. It looks like my skin can't breathe, and my skin gets hot. It does keep my face from getting burned as I go about my regular day.
