Clinique -Dramatically Different Moisturizer

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 quickly absorbed by the skin and does not make skin too oily or greasy. It is a well known and trusted brand and I would suggest it as a worthwhile product to invest in. One concern I have about it is it's spout and packaging - I find that it does not affectively pump as well as other lotion bottles do. Also the square bottle does not pack easily into a makeup bag or when traveling. These are...

Review of Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion

Dramatically different

Advantages: Good quality
Disadvantages: Didn't work for me unfortunately

...Dramatically different! Clinique is one of the world's largest suppliers of prestige makeup and fragrance products. It was launched by Estee Lauder Companies in August 1968. I have always viewed Clinique as an upmarket product and one that is known to have a very good reputation. It is more expensive than other makeup and skin care ranges but I always hear good things about it and that it actually works so sometimes it is worth paying more for something that produces results. I actually received a bottle of Clinique's dramatically different moisturizing lotion as a sample when I purchased something else from their website. Their marketing ploy obviously worked as it is not something I would have tried by myself but by giving it to a consumer as a "free gift" they introduced someone else to their product who they hoped would then go...

Review of Clinique Dramatically Different

Dramatically Different - Dramatically Exceptional

Advantages: Keeps Skin Smooth
Disadvantages: -

...I have never used anything that has lived up to 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 the first product that I ever purchased was Dramatically Different Moisturiser and I wouldn't ever go back on that decision. Clinique has been around since 1968 and is one the worlds leading manufacturers of skin care, cosmetics and fragrances. Clinique is marketed through its famous three step skin care regime of: cleanse, exfoliate...

Review of Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturiser

Advantages: longevity
Disadvantages: price

...I have been using this for years (my daughter who is 21 now does so too) It is extremely light but it seems to penetrate the skin without feeling "heavy" . Your make up stays on top very well. I can't say a bad word against it. I exercise regularly and again it feels great to put onto the face after a hot shower. It is maybe a bit more expensive than a regular moisturiser but a little seems ot go a long way. Clinique often have promotions on if you buy two of their products then you can get a "sample set" of certain items. The Dramatically Different Moisturiser is often included in the sample items. I find this useful for travelling and I have on occasion used the sample to top up my large container....

Review of Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion

Dramatically Different Skin?

Advantages: Light, Best Moisturiser I've Used, Smells Nice
Disadvantages: Best Results found in 3 Step Regime

...I have been obsessing over the brand of clinique since July and was extrememly excited about recieving this in my stocking for christmas. After only a month of use I have never been so pleased with a product. Clinique have described their moisturing lotion and the a moisture "drink" for the skin. It was developed with the goal of maintaining the skins optimal moisture balance and hydrated skin looks smoother and healthier but is also better abled to function as a barrier. Clinique claim that the product works to soften, smooth and improve the condition and texture of the skin. The moisturing lotion is also available in a gel. It also comes in three different bottles. A bottle with a pump depenser at the top, a squeezy bottle like a shower gel or a regular bottle. I own the regular bottle. In order to dispense the product onto...

Review of Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturiser

Dramatically Generic

Advantages: I'm struggling here...
Disadvantages: Cheap formula, too oily for combination skin, doesn't moisturise well

...Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturiser is a consistent beauty editor's top choice in the beauty magazines I read, with numerous people listing it as a must have item. Sadly it's one that in my opinion is completely overrated, overhyped and a total waste of money. It is used as step 3 of Clinique's 3-step skincare routine and is described by Clinique as a moisturiser suitable for Very Dry/Dry Combination and Combination Oily/Oily skin. It comes in a variety of packaging methods - the basic bottle being just that, a plastic bottle with a silver screw top lid, but for about £1.50 more you can buy a version with a pump. Why they don't just supply everyone with a pump is beyond me as the moisturizer itself is very runny and not easily extracted from the bottle. The best way for those without a pump is to simply put a finger over...

Review of Clinique Dramatically Different Lotion

A DRAMATIC DIFFERENCE

Advantages: It worked for me
Disadvantages: Pricey

.../Oily Combination. Ideally this moisturiser is used as part of their 'Three Step-system', after cleansing with their bar soap and then toning with their Clarifying Lotion. I have not tried all three steps so far, but might. The Clinique salespeople will advise you on which formula is are best for your particular skin type, especially if you have problems of various kinds. All Clinique's products are allergy tested. PERFORMANCE I apply Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion after using any vegetable bar soap (sorry Clinique and beauticians everywhere) and (occasionally) toning with what's left of any Body Shop's Vitamin E toner. DDML has no fragrance, and while not exactly thick it is not a thin lotion that drips onto clothes or the floor, or that you need to use a lot of: I've found a two pence piece size squeeze is ample to cover my big...

Review of Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturiser

Dramatically Different or Surprisingly Similar ?

Advantages: Hydrating
Disadvantages: Expensive, can leave the skin greasy

...considered taking advantage of them. I mean, for a start the ladies that work on these counters normally look like Barbie?s mother (but normally dressed more like Barbie?s daughter) and are wearing that much makeup, you?re not sure what they really look like underneath. They used to intimidate / anger me ? I always felt like they were looking at me and wanting to gently push me in the direction of the cheaper brands ?I think you?ll find what you are looking for here love?? And then the price ? who actually pays more than £5 for moisturiser ? Well actually me, or at least I did that day? still not sure why to be honest. Maybe it was the jetlag from the flight (lol). Anyway, whatever the reason, I purchased some ?Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion? (referred to as DDML from now on) and some eye cream and proudly left the counter...

Review of Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturiser

DIFFERENT...BUT NOT DRAMATICALLY

Advantages: barely noticeable scent, lightweight
Disadvantages: Too many to mention

...I think this Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion is probably the bread and butter of Clinique's skin care line. The pretty bottles of moisturiser fly off the shelves every day, and the public can't seem to live without them. I received this cute miniature bottle of moisturising lotion as a free sample, and enthusiastically gave it a try, well several tries, and I admit I started off as a huge fan. There's something about the square bottle of yellow lotion of Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion that looks really retro and funky. Though I'd never purchased it, it's a familiar bottle that probably everyone has seen at a Clinique counter or in a magazine ad. In fact Clinique boasts in the booklet included that a bottle of this yellow moisturiser is sold every 3 seconds worldwide. Pretty amazing...

Review of Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturiser

Dramatically normal

Advantages: Can be a fantastic moisturiser
Disadvantages: works best as part of a three step system

...steps are Cleanse, Exfoliate and Moisturise. Dramatically Different Moisturizing lotion Dramatically Different Moisturizing lotion is part of Clinique?s ?Three Step-system?, the moisturising part. It was sold to me in conjunction with two other products, Clinique?s facial soap and the Clarifying lotion. I bought the Three Step system from Boots in Central Manchester, where there is a Clinique counter. I told her that I had been told to try Clinique products because I have sensitive skin. She asked me a few questions about my skin and told me what type of skin I had. There are a few different combinations of skin that you can be and mine was sensitive with an oily T-zone (your T zone is your forehead, nose and chin). When she had worked out my type of skin she suggested which combination of products I should use to get effective...
