Clinique M Lotion (Moisturiser for Men)

Advantages: It Works!
Disadvantages: It Costs!

...feeling so wet that my natural inclination was to wipe it dry, no doubt removing the product in the process. Others left my face feeling sticky or lent it an appearance so shiny that passers-by stared at me to check their reflections. All of them, without exception, triggered those red boil-type, under-the-skin blemishes, which can render the handsomest mug clown-like. For me, Clinique M Lotion was a revelation. The smallest amount rubbed gently into the skin goes a long way. It is absorbed quickly, but leaves the skin feeling smooth and natural. It has no scent and apart from the skin's improved, healthy appearance, it is undetectable. It is the only moisturiser I have been able to use, which doesn't trigger the "two days later blemishes". The packaging is unassuming, being a conservative grey as opposed to neon-pink, and if spied in...

Review of Clinique M Lotion

baby lotion- but i'm not a baby!

Advantages: leaves skin nice and smooth
Disadvantages: not one.

...? In the way that your man or women will feel the smooth skin and go crazy, having rough skin doesn?t really have the same effect? Personally I haven?t used the baby lotion on an actual baby, however I do know of many mothers that have done and the results are excellent, leaving baby smooth skin until the next bathing time. With the normal retail price being just under £2 as it is for children I?m not sure if you have to pay vat or not. Putting that detail aside for a second I feel as though this product has been one of the best buys I?ve ever made and I feel that I will use this product for many years to come?...

exfoliating lotion

Advantages: tightens pores, reduces pimples and blackheads..exfoliates!
Disadvantages: can smell like pure alcohol..can dry the skin out if not using the right lotion for your skin

...a little bit about the brand and product: Clinique is actually an american not french brand now owned by Este Lauder who also own brands like clarins, mac, bobby brown, aveda, skii and several more high end products as well as their own este lauder range of products. Clinique was founded in 1968 and was the first company to introduce their famous 3 step system still followed by almost every brand now that is cleanse-tone and moisturise. The clarifying lotion is the "toner" part although I was told it actually works more like an exfoliator and gets rid of dead skin cells as u sweep it across your face. The packing is an opaque cylinder bottle of either 200ml's or 500 ml's with a green screw top lid. It comes in 5 formulations: mild, 1,2,3,4. hokaii.......... now onto my experience with the clarifying lotion: I remember going to...

Review of Clinique Clarifying Lotion

A Quality Toning Lotion

Advantages: Impressive ingredient list of plant extracts.
Disadvantages: Possibly not for those with sensitive skin.

...For more than twenty years I have stuck loyally to my favourite brand of facial cleansing lotion and toning lotion for my night-time routine. Some months ago I just fancied a change. Let?s call it boredom. So, on a shopping trip to replenish my bathroom cabinet stocks I found myself examining the wares on the Decleor counter in a local department store. I had noticed previously that this counter always had an impressive look about it - clinical looking and orderly. The published policy of this company includes a statement that it ?combines the purest, most potent and natural ingredients?. This seemed a reasonable place to seek out something new. The ?Lait Démaquillant? and the ?Lotion Tonifiante? were recommended for my skin type and so I left the store clutching a bottle of each. The idea of a toning lotion which contained...

Clinique clarifying lotion helps with milia

Advantages: Clears up my cheek milia, exfoliates really well, diminishes wrinkles
Disadvantages: Stings a bit when applied, fairly expensive for most

...For years I've had milia on my cheeks, but I didn't know what they were. Since I read that milia only appears around the eye area, I always presumed that I'm just prone to whiteheads. Although they're not really whiteheads since they look like bumps under the skin. They are trapped skin cells. If I tried to squeeze them, I'd make an absolute mess of my skin and they'd then turn into inflamed spots that can be popped. However for the first few days, there would be nothing but clear liquid in them. I was always puzzled by this. And then I came across a forum where someone was talking about their cheek milia and I recognized my problem. Funny enough, the advice to try Clinique Clarifying Lotion came from my boyfriend. He uses it all the time and claims that's why his skin looks amazing, despite having oily skin. Don't you just love...

Review of Clinique Clarifying Lotion

Overpriced and over used!!

Advantages: Very smooth and easy to apply
Disadvantages: Too expensive!

...I've taken a very keen interest in my personal grooming over the past years, using moisturiser and "product" for a long time, helping to stave off the onset of tired skin and worry lines. The downside of taking such an interest is trying to find the right product to suit skin type and to achieve the desired results. Sometimes, this can be frustrating and, on many occasions, can lead to men buying skin products that just don't suit. This is my experience with Clinique M Lotion and, unfortunately, that can be an expensive mistake to make!! The Product The product itself comes very neatly packaged in 100ml tubes, fitting well into the hand and making dispensing the cream very easy and controllable. It is a slightly off putting light yellow colour, but is extremely smooth and is absorbed into the skin very easily. Fortunately, a small...

Review of Clinique M Lotion

Liquid Gold for men

Advantages: Silky, smooth, scent-free lotion. Great for sensitive skin and as a 'post shave' healer.
Disadvantages: None bar the price.

...kinds of wonderful (and extremely expensive) products which they stuffed into my bag when I was buying other things, like Grandma's stuffing a £20 note into your hand as you leave the door. I was young, naive, and innocent in the ways of the moisturiser. Back then if it was white and came out of a bottle in the bathroom it was probably ok to put on your face. That was until I discovered Clinique. The M lotion And so, we amble onto the product itself. I'll say this from the start - Clinique M Lotion for men is the single most effective facial moisturiser I have ever used, period. And as my introduction suggested, I've used a few in my time. And if you don't want to take my word for it, M lotion was awarded a 'Highly Commended' by the 'FHM Male Grooming' awards 2005. So that settles it then. According to Cliniques very own 'Skin...

Review of Clinique M Lotion

Johnsons Adult Lotion

Advantages: Smells nice, leaves skin lovely and soft, extremely versatile
Disadvantages: None

..."Adult" meaning "grown up" rather than "porn" .... although as I'm sure GR-Design will tell us, it could have some uses there too :p I only really use moisturizer in winter, the time when the least amount of skin possible is on show. I’m not particularly strange, though, it’s more to do with the fact that the sun tan lotion and aftersun I apply look after my skin – both figuratively and literally – in the summer months. Right now thought it’s November, and since I don’t live down under, than means it’s winter. For years I used the white Johnsons baby lotion as an every day moisturizer. Then one day, shortly before a birthday (I think it was my 15th) I became obsessed with the idea of trying the pink variety. It was something to do with the gorgeous actress they had advertising it, waffling...

Review of Johnsons Baby Lotion

Is it warm in here? No, it's The Sanctuary Body Lotion

Advantages: an effective moisturiser
Disadvantages: the warming sensation might not suit everyone

...This being the last in my "free gift set" from Boots (well, not quite free - I spent £10 a couple of weeks ago during an in-store promotion period and got a set of travel-sized Sanctuary Spa Essentials, which I've been reviewing on this site ever since) I was expecting great things from the body lotion. As with the other items in the Spa Essentials range, the body lotion appears to be a re-marketed version of what was simply The Sanctuary Body Lotion and my travel-sized item (75ml) appears to be available for sale on the company website for £2.29, although the standard 250ml bottle costs £4.99. I've never bought the larger item so I'm not sure how similar the caps are, but the tiny version is packaged in a clear plastic, cylindrical bottle with a bright orange screw-on lid that is really easy to put on and take off. (The threading...

Johnsons Holiday Skin Body Lotion

Advantages: Moisturising, I like the smell
Disadvantages: I turned orange once afer using it! No directions on back of bottle

...and the gorgeous tan it gives you when you wear it. I saw that it was only about £1.99 in the shop so decided why not buy it. My first experience of trying out Johnsons Holiday Skin Body Lotion That night I covered my arms and legs in what I thought was an even layer of the lotion. There are no directions for use on the back of the bottle I own (I'm not sure if it's the same for all bottles). My sister and friend were right about it smelling really nice. But were they right about the gorgeous tan? I had to wait until the next morning to find out. I put my pjamas on and feeling slightly moist, because the tan hadn't absorbed too well, went to bed. When I dressed the next morning I discovered my white pjamas were slightly orange - the lotion had turned them this colour. My legs were notically more orange but it hadn't made that much...
