Years ago I didn’t like the original formula of this now updated moisturizer when I first tried it…it was kinda okay, but it felt heavy and even slightly greasy on my skin before…and BEFORE, it gave me a mild allergic reaction. The big news that has circled the globe is that Clinique bravely took their well-loved Dramatically Different Moisturizer and gave it a + symbol…indicative of a well-researched reformulation. Big, brave move.
For the DD moisturizer devotees Clinique have kindly kept the consistency and appearance on application the same but have now introduced a swig of advanced botanicals + (Hello!) hyaluronic acid. After practically a decade since my first encounter with this moisturizer Clinique PH sent me an exclusive lab sample last week. Guess what…I didn’t expect it to be what it now is, which is dramatically incredible, my skin can breathe. I only need short of a peasize dot for the whole face and thanks to the hyaluronic acid I instantly felt the non-greasy boost of hydration FROM MORNING TO NIGHT TO THE NEXT MORNING, I did cleanse mind you but I felt the hydration hanging on like crazy just from just 1 application…the finish also feels like a great primer for makeup. The new DD Moisturizer + dries matte to the touch after 15-20mins but you still feel supple hydration across the skin surface the whole day. Both mom and I road tested it and agreed. It offers light, long wearing hydration and it’s fragrance free. I absolutely positively like this. It’s a no brainer choice if you prefer a high end moisturizer and if you’re one of those like me who’d rather not fiddle with a hyaluronic step before moisturizer on certain days this kills 2 birds with 1 stone. Good job, Clinique! Um, I’ll edit in the price later today.
