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

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....

Dramatically Different - Dramatically Exceptional

Advantages: Keeps Skin Smooth
Disadvantages: -

...and mositurise. The Dramatically Different Moisturiser is now available in thre different forms, the original lotion, with pump, and now available as a gel. The particular version is am reviewing is the original lotion. All Clinique products come packaged in their green boxes with silve writing and the Clinique logo on the front. The lotion is available as 4.2 fl oz and is provided in a plastic, transparent, rectangle bottle, with a small silver cap on the top of it. YOu can see directly though to the contents on a light yellow moisturiser. Using this particular version, I don't find that you waste a lot at all, as when you remove the lid, it is quite difficult for the contents to come flowing out so you have to give it a little shake to actually get t come out. The consistency isn't to thin and not too thick either which is great...

Review of Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion

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

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 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

Excellent Moisturizer

Advantages: Leaves skin, clean fresh and well moisturised.
Disadvantages: Doesn't Last too long.

...My mother brought me this as part of a set, this christmas.I can honestly say it was the best moisuriser i've ever used. It really is dramatically different, and unlike many moisturisers doesn't leave skin dry again merely hours later. It was of medium thinkness and was increadibly clean and simple to apply, and dried very quickly. The pump is very effective and dispenses just the right amount of cream, it also helps the bottle and your makeup bag stay clean as i'm sure many of you like myself have had makeup ruined because of moisturiser leaks! Although expensive i would definatly say worth it! However a downside i felt was 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...

Review of Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising 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 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...

Review of Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturiser

Excellent moisturizer - wouldn't use anything else!

Advantages: Really easily absorbed, leaves the skin looking and feeling great, no need to reapply
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion is a fantastic moisturizer! It's yellow in appearance, non-fragranced and is absorbed really well into the skin. I use it everyday and hydrates my skin brilliantly. It lasts throughout the day and I find there is no need to re-apply. It's non-greasy and feels refreshing when applied. I have oily to combination skin and this moisturizer suits it really well. I think in general it is suitable for all skin types, but particularly for oily to combination, it seems to work really well. It lasts me about 4 to 5 months (used everyday) and comes as a lotion or a gel. I think they recommend the lotion for dryer skins and the gel for oilier skins, but personally I prefer the lotion as it feels nicer on the skin. You can also choose to buy the bottle with the pump or the bottle...
