Not the same as the original Moisture Surge Intense!
I have been a dedicated user of Moisture Surge Intense (most recent name Moisture Surge Intense: Skin Fortifying Hydrator) for many years.

Moisturizing and not irritating. For people with rosacea works great especially after shower or face wash when my face cools off and gets dry. I like the cream/gel consistency. Don't ever stop producing this cream.
Love the product
I'm 64 years old and this Clinique Moisture Surge is the best.
Super moisturizing
This product is perfect for my skin. My skin feels moisturized all day . My skin is sensitive and some moisturizers actually make my skin breakout, this does not. I also appreciate that it isn't scented. I highly recommend this product .
The most luscious moisturizer !
Ok, so I will admit I have not used Clinique since I was a teenager in the late 90s. It has always seemed to be too pricey compared to drug store skin care products that I started using as I got older. Nowadays, I am a big fan of Origins, Belif, and Cosrx , plus a few other Korean brands that I can't live without. I wanted to get a free gift bag from Clinique and bought this on a whim. I am so glad I did ! I have very dry skin and this is such a beautifully thick and luxury moisturizer. It is better than anything I've ever tried. I would buy this again and again! A little goes a long way, so you don't have to use a lot when you do.
I would not buy this product again
This product only keeps moisture for a few once dry there's no moisture
