Most Helpful Positive Review The Wow Factor! My face looks wide awake! To sum it up:
A couple of months ago I asked for a few samples at the Clinique counter, one of them being the Smart Night Custom-Repair Moisturizer for type 2 skin (allergic to SPF so always wear nighttime versions). WOW WOW WOW it did immediately make a huge improvement in plumping my lines and gave me a glowing radiant look that wasn't shiney or greasy!! It dries to a smooth soft feel with no residue that comes off when I thouch it. Clinique said it makes an immediate difference and it does! My face including under my eyes looks smooth, hydrated, glowing, bright and awake with this product!!! I can't wear the Smart serums due to irritation but the Smart moisturizer actually soothes my skin.
My experiment and test between two of Clinique's moisturizers:
I thought this must be my imagination how can it be so magical on my skin. So I put some of the sample of the Repairwear Upliting cream for very dry on one side of my face and some of the sample of Smart Night-Repair Moisturizer on the other side of my face. Applied my makeup as I normally do and left the house for a dental appointment. I told my hygienist that I was trying two new face creams on opposite sides of my face including under my eyes and asked if she would mind checking them out while she cleaned my teeth. We both laughed because it was kind of a silly request and at the end of the hour when she was done she said there was a DRAMATIC difference between the two and asked what I was wearing on the Smart Custom-Repair Night side. Of course I told her and she exclaimed that that side of my face was smoother and brighter than the other side. She said it was as if the Smart side of my face was awake and the Repairwear side of my face was tired. Bingo that was exactly the right way to describe the difference. She asked how long I've been using the product knowing these results take a couple weeks usually and when I told her I had been using it for two hours she wrote down exactly what I was using and said she was buying some too. I bought the full size on the way home from the dentist that day!
Most Helpful Critical Review Duller skin, poor absorption I really wanted to like the Smart moisturizers as I have some post acne scarring, uneven skin tone, overall lack of radiance, and some shallow fine lines with being in my late 20s. After already trying the Turnaround Nighttime moisturizer (and hating it for this same reason), I was excited that this could have been my new nighttime regime. After first try, I was really disappointed that it felt just like the Turnaround moisturizer--it sat on my skin and didn't really absorb despite proper preparation with the 3-Step. It also made my skin oily, as in I had a sheen of oil across my face after only a couple of hours. The next morning, my face looked extremely dull despite enough sleep, too. I figured the situation might change come the winter, when I have a little bit drier skin. Nope. This morning, I noticed the dullness and tonight I have a massive oil sheen on my forehead. Smart moisturizers are just too expensive for their "results" and should not be used by Type III's. In all honesty, it seems like a glorified version of Turnaround because I've had these exact results.

I've only used this a few times but so far so good. I have extremely sensitive, red skin and am very wary about putting anything on my face. It usually ends up badly with more red and itchiness. This product did NOT do that. I would call it a "thick" cream because it's not a thin watery lotion. For me it's a great consistency- I didn't want something I have to work hard at. You only need a little bit. It glides on smooth and silky and my skin is not tight anymore. Don't know about wrinkles yet, I'll post an update later.
boost of hydration until the morning! 5
Mar from Santa Clara, CA
This moisturizer is excellent, it has a great texture and a nice scent. And my skin is still hydrated when I wake up. Definitely a keeper!!
Perfect to my skin 5
Marcela from Argentina
I love this product. I have this one and the daily one, use them and be happy!
Just what I needed! 5
MiamiJen from Miami, Florida
This cream is just what I needed to amp up my nighttime routine. I love the texture and how it sinks right into my skin. I honestly saw a difference right away in my skin hydration. My dry spots went away and my overall skin tone is more radiant. This is a perfect match with my 3-step routine, and the smart serum, too. Now that I've tried this, I don't want to he without it. Another thing I love is this product doesn't irritate my eyes it any other part of my skin like a lot of night products from other brands do. This really is a smart cream!
Good moisturizer 5
Lisa from Dallas, TX
This product makes my skin smooth and soft. I wish it does not make my skin a bit oiler over night.
Nice and smooth but not sticky 5
LWC from Sacramento, CA
It is best to use in winter time. It really help my dry skin and feels good in the morning. Also, this is the best time of the year to stock up, 30% off is the best deal! Plus, Clinique has the best customer service, I called on 12/4, a representative named Alicia helped me to track my missing gift items and points. She was so polite and helpful, I got both gift and points back! Thank you for the help.

Amazing night cream 5

Plump skin 5
T Horn from WI
I received this as part of a gift with purchase. It's a thick, creamy texture, and is fragrance free. I use it at night, paired with the 3-step cleansing system. I use it on my face and neck, avoiding my eye area. As I stated, it's thick, but it's not heavy or greasy. My skin looks healthy and plump; no dry patches and no break outs. I like and recommend this product :)
wonderful 5
jianyu from Portland
I like it. I will buy again.
Deep hydration without clogging pores 5
Pack4MVP from Milwaukee, WI
I ended up buying this by accident, but I am so delighted that I did! This cream is my go-to for night moisture. It pairs perfectly with my Rx cream, no irritation or adverse reaction. I wake up to bouncy and hydrated skin with no virtually no shine. I just purchased the dry/very dry formula for the winter months and hope it works as well as the dry/combo formula. I've tried a lot of cream moisturizers over the years and this is my favorite, hands down!
Love this 5

Great night cream 5
Ann from New York
I have been pairing this cream up with the smart serum, and I like how they work nicely together. Still in my early 30s, I cannot talk much about the anti-aging effects, but the products have been keeping my skin soft and moisturized, and I would wake up feeling refreshed.

It's super moisturizing and great for someone with acne, but the price is sooooooooooooooooooo high for the small amount you receive.
Great for super dry and reactive skin 5
EN1 from VA
I have super fair skin that is extremely dry and dry reactive. I use this at night most of the year. I also use this during the day for dry winter days or when I am inside with heating all of the time. I do not break out from this heavier cream.
Excellent night cream 5

This moisturizer makes my skin feel refreshed. I like to use at night when I sleep. It really helps so my skin doesn't dry out when I sleep. I love Clinique products and I don't buy anything else for my skin.
