Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion

Advantages: Keeps Skin Smooth
Disadvantages: -

...my expectations the way that Clinique does. I was given the Clinique bug in my late teens, at first I thought why spend so much money on a particular brand when there are cheaper ones out there that must be just as good. I became loyal to the Clinique brand when I got married, (best thing about getting married, discovering Clinique properly, my relationship with Clinique lasted longer too) I purchased all their products for my wedding day however ...
...back on that decision. Clinique has been around since 1968 and is one the worlds leading manufacturers of skin care, cosmetics and fragrances.

...skincare system. At a Clinique counter your skin type will be assessed and you will then get a cleanser(soap or liquid cleanser), a clarifying lotion and a moisturizer tailored to your skin's needs. However, although it is recommended to use this 3-step system many people simply use the moisturizer from the range. (and as the some beauty experts say.. . if you're not rich, you can get away with buying an expensive moisturizer and cheap everything ... Read review

Advantages: Effective moisturizer
Disadvantages: Packaging

I enjoy the product; Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. I have been using this product consistently for the past year. I feel that it is a great moisturizer and works particularly well in collaboration with with other Clinique daily products. It smoothes my skin and prevents dry skin, I particularly use it on my face. The smell is average, it does not particularly smell perfumed but for a face lotion it is a desired smell. It is ...
...when traveling. These are just small complaints for a product that is of high quality. Personally I would recommend it, especially when using Clinique facial wash and toner. If purchasing look for deals at duty free stores or department store Clinique tables (usually have free samples or good deals on). ... Read review

Advantages: Leaves skin, clean fresh and well moisturised.

...that it didn't last too long, probably around 3 months. It also compliments clinique toners and cleansers beautifully, however i would recommend a consultation from a clinique store to determine your skin type (1, 2, 3) as the moisturiser comes to match one of the numbers. Hope this is useful ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant product
Disadvantages: Very expensive

...If you are having any problems with dry or sensitive skin beg for a sample of Dramatically Different. I have literally tried out almost every moisturiser in Boots in the hope of finding something that wouldn't dry my skin out or cause it to go blotchy and fall off. This moisturiser is brilliant. Most moisturisers for dry skin tend to resemble a tub of lard, but this actually manages to moisturise your skin without making it go all shiny. I haven't had any reactions to it either. The only thing I do react to is the price of it (which gives me heart failure) especially as it doesn't last that long. The bottle is also a complete nightmare. You'd think the boffins at Clinique could have designed a squeezable bottle or a pump dispenser. Oh, and if you do have dry/sensitive skin don't be tempted to try the toner which resembles paint stripper.... Read review

Advantages: Fairly reasonably priced and has good offers at times
Disadvantages: Is not a brilliant skincare moisturizer, especially for dry skins

...I used to use clinique over 15 years ago, but stopped due to it not addressing my skin issues (I don't know why I decided to give it another go-probably couldn't resist the offer in boots as well as double points!) The clinique assistant was very friendly and explained the application procedure clearly. The main point was that the toner should only be swept once across face, and the cream used sparingly. Unfortunately, this did not work well for my skin; inl fact, I believed it became even drier. I continued using it over 2 and a half weeks- still no improvement. When I went back to the store to ask for advice, I was told that the moisturizer is just a simple cream and that I would need to apply a richer cream on top to get the results I wanted! That made my decision-i will use the much better skincare I used a year ago..at least... Read review

Advantages: Nice packaging, nice creamy texture
Disadvantages: Doesn't really "triple" moisturise as promised, price tag

...into the skin. There is a very slight scent to the product slightly camomile ish and ever so slightly clinical - like all Clinique products there are no artificial fragrances added. However, I am going to have to go against the grain here and say that I just don't see the "triple moisturising" effect that this claims to achieve - it certainly does moisturise, I'm not disputing that, but I don't see that it does a better job than the far cheaper Oil of Olay Total Effects I was using before. I've been using this now for about 7 months so have given it a good try, but I just don't see the effects to warrant shelling out on this again. Having been disappointed by Clinique's moisturisers before (Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion - made me break out in spots, so in that sense, yes, I suppose it was dramatically different!) I think I... Read review
