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 - 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

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 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 Generic

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

..., begin to clog up my pores. Essentially, when looking at the list of ingredients, this is a blend of water, petroleum (so Vaseline), some cheap oils and some Methylparaben thrown in as a preservative. I suspect that the reason this has so many rave reviews from people is that they use it in partnership with the 3 step routine, while I was only using step 1 and 3. The step 2 involves using a Clarifying Lotion which I have tried and found it very harsh, so I suspect that this strips the skin of its natural oils so that they can be replaced with the oils in the Dramatically Different Moisturiser. A good quality product should not rely on being used with others and should demonstrate its effects when used alone. For a product that costs £14.68 for 50ml, this is a very poor quality and disappointing moisturizer. You're better off sticking to much...

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

Dramatically different moisturizer doesn't really live up to name

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...

Review of Clinique 3-Step Skincare System Step 3 (Moisturize) Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion

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...
