- 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.

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...

A little goes a long way
Love Clinique products but this is one of my favorites. I live in the desert and my skin is extremely dry, even on my face. I love putting this on and then feeling that my face is still soft, hours later.
Like the texture and sun protection

Clinique's Moisture Surge™ Sheer Hydrator with SPF 28 feels lightweight and smooth on the skin, providing a nice balance of hydration and sun protection without greasiness. Great for daily wear, though those needing heavier moisture may want to layer it.
It gives PURE hydration
I was looking for a moisturizing product since I have oily/dry skin. I brow tech at Ulta advised this and baabby this is what the doctor ordered for ME❤
enjoying it so far
So far I like it. I've only gotten to wear it once and not in a 'sweaty hot' situation. I want to test it when it's hot outside and the sun is bright to make sure it works and holds up.
just ok
I love the moisture surge gel and was excited to try this! It goes on well and wears well under makeup with no heavy feeling or pilling. I am very fair skinned and didnt burn with this on while out in the sun for short amounts of time. However, after a couple of days of consistent use, my skin started to break out like crazy! This product is definitely not the one for me.
