Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel

I switched to the gel when my regular cream started feeling like too much during warmer weather. It has been a much better fit for my skin.

My skin gets oily pretty quickly, so heavy moisturizers are usually a no for me. This gives me enough hydration without making my face feel greasy.

By lunchtime my forehead is normally shiny, but this doesn't seem to add to the problem. My face just feels comfortable and moisturized.

The texture disappears into my skin so fast. I can move on to sunscreen almost immediately, which makes mornings easier.

I wasn't convinced a lightweight gel would give me enough moisture, but I've been pleasantly surprised. My cheeks stay soft without my T-zone feeling overloaded.

This is one of the few moisturizers my teenage son will actually use. He likes that he can't really feel it once it's on.

Humid summer days are when this really earns its place in my routine. It hydrates without making me feel like I have another heavy layer on my face.

I use two pumps after cleansing, and that's plenty for me. It spreads easily and doesn't leave any sticky residue behind.

There's no waiting around for this to sink in. By the time I finish brushing my teeth, my skin feels soft and ready for the next step.

I tried this after getting tired of moisturizers that made me look shiny an hour later. So far, this feels much lighter on my face.

My combination skin is difficult because some areas need moisture while others get oily. This seems to strike a nice balance for me.

I started using this under makeup and haven't had any issues with pilling. Foundation goes on smoothly over it.

After the gym, I don't want anything rich or heavy on my skin. A little of this after washing my face feels fresh and comfortable.

I've been using this morning and night during the summer. For my oily skin, it's been enough moisture without feeling excessive.

My boyfriend kept borrowing this because he hated the thick moisturizer he was using. Eventually I just got tired of finding my bottle on his side of the sink.

What works for me is how uncomplicated it feels. I don't need my moisturizer to do ten different things. I just want comfortable hydration that won't make my combination skin feel greasy, and this does the job.

Even though the formula is lightweight, my face doesn't feel dry again an hour later. That's what keeps me reaching for it.

I was using a much richer moisturizer and couldn't figure out why my face always felt so heavy. Switching to this made an immediate difference in how comfortable my skin felt.

This doesn't give me an overly dewy finish, which I appreciate. My skin looks natural and feels hydrated without extra shine.

I've used this on and off for years whenever my skin gets oilier. It's one of those dependable products I know I can go back to.

I like a very simple morning routine, and this works perfectly for that. Cleanse, gel, sunscreen, and I'm ready to go.
