Too Drying

No, I don't recommend this

I fancied a change from the dry skin version of this lotion and felt this would be a good choice for the summer months. Unfortunately it does absolutely nothing to moisturize my (normal) skin. Once it soaked in my skin felt smooth, but also uncomfortably dry and tight. A heavier moisturizer had to go on top, which defeats the object - and even then this product still seemed to dry my skin. I cannot see any purpose for this unless you have excessively oily skin. It is not a moisturizing gel by any stretch of the imagination. Sadly I started using it after any return period had expired.

Great product but packaging flaw

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

I love this gel moisturiser. I've used it for many years and it's the only thing that doesn't make my skin break out. You do have to use quite a lot of it to get really nice soft skin. The packaging however, has a integral design flaw. I am probably on bottle number 10 of the 125 mil with pump, and every single one of them has stopped pumping the product up around halfway through, so I end up having to unscrew the top and manually tap the product into my hand.

My absolute Essential

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

This gel moisturiser is my staple. I have been using it for years now, so thought it was time to write a review. It is soothing and refreshing. Great for my sensitive, acne prone skin and love that I can use around my eyes without irritation. It's the perfect base for my foundation and helps keep it looking fresh all day, without looking oily at all. The pump bottle keeps bacteria out, which is a bonus.

The best I've used would totally recommend for combination skin. Very light weight and makes skin very soft. Can use on its own or good to combined with foundation or bb cream for some coverage or colour.

Best moisturiser I've ever used

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

I love this stuff. It makes my skin feel so smooth and matte, like after I've applied a primer. My face is very oily usually and when I apply this in the morning, the soft and matte feeling lasts all day until I clean my face in the evening with micellar water and then I re-apply the moisturiser. I'm amazed at how my face stays like this after long days of traveling on the tube, moving around London, etc. Magical stuff.

Fantastic Moisturiser

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

I have really struggled with moisturisers before. I have oily skin, and anything too heavy clogs my skin and gives me spots under the skin. The moisturising gel goes into my skin, and doesn't feel heavy. Absolutely love it.

Will never use another moisturiser!

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

I've been using this gel moisturiser every morning and evening after cleansing and toning for about 7 years now and I cannot live without it! If I have a no make up day, the minimum I wear is this. I have sometimes oily and sometimes dry skin, season depending, and this moisturiser really sinks in well and doesn't leave a residue or make my skin oily or clog my pores. On top of that, I'm 32 and people ALWAYS tell me I look about 25 so I genuinely believe since I've been using it I just stopped aging haha!! I constantly get compliments for my skin. I just cannot praise this moisturiser enough and will never use another moisturiser. Both my sisters and my mum use this now too! And they will only use this moisturiser now too! It's just the best!

Bought gel instead of lotion

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

No, I don't recommend this

I've been using the lotion for years and swear by it. But accidentally purchased the gel this time and all it did was dry my face. Not for me, I'll just have to look closer next time and double check.

This "dramatically moisturizing gel" destroyed my skin!

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

No, I don't recommend this

It is the first time I have written a review, but I am very disappointed with this product that destroyed my face! After using this gel, my face is dry and irritated; my skin is peeling off, and it is painful! I have not suffered such a thing from any other product! It's the last time I buy something from Clinique. Even the cheapest moisturizer on the market has to be much better.

Best product out there

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

I've been using this product for a year now, each day, twice a day. I couldn't be happier! Actually, I've never been this happy with a moisturizer till I found this one. I have really oily and equally sensitive skin, I used to always get outbreaks each time I put on a cream. Honestly, you can't imagine how frustrating that is! My skin is incredibly happy now. I am definitely recommending this product to all my girlfriends.

The best moisturizer!

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

I bought it few months ago now and it's amazing for my oily skin. I can't feel it on my skin at all, it sinks in really quickly and leaves my skin soft. I've tried numerous other high-end brand moisturisers, including Charlotte Tilbury etc and those always left my skin more oily, sticky and it was always waste of money as I only used those few times because I couldn't stand the feeling it gave me on my face and often gave me breakouts (I've got no acne at all usually). Really happy I found this product and I will definitely keep purchasing it for years to come. It really saved my skin. Definitely recommended buying it to anyone with oily skin struggling to find non-sticky moisturizer that won't make their skin more oily!

Visible change to neglected skin

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

I confess to having neglected my skin over recent years. I decided to commit to a routine and chose Clinique 123 system as I like to wash my face, and wanted a quick routine. After 3 weeks, my skin is visibly different, and it feels softer. This moisturiser literally melts into my skin, leaving no residue (which I experience with creams). This product is so good, I've already ordered it again to ensure I don't run out and ruin my new found routine.

Misled into believing this was for combination skin

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

No, I don't recommend this

I've used the moisturising lotion version of this gel moisturiser for years now. I thought I would try out the new ID version and try the anti ageing addition. I clicked through the steps of which ID I wanted, following the descriptions and was misled into buying this gel instead of the lotion by the description saying it was for combination skin, and the lotion for dry skin! I have typical combination skin, t-zone very oily and I experience dry patches on my cheeks in winter, and the Clinique counter staff always direct me to combination products. It's been a week since using this gel with ID and my skin is incredibly dry and have cracked skin! I can't believe it - I love Clinique, have used their 3 steps for years. After paying so much money for this product I now can't continue to use its really frustrating.

Lovely and light weight

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

I bought this after I used a friends and I love it. It's light weight, sinks in quickly and makes my skin feel lovely and soft. Most moisturisers are too heavy for me and make my face shiny and sticky, but this one is perfect. Ive been using it for 2 months now, 2 pumps morning and night and I have only used 1/3 of the bottle - really good value for money and really worth it (although the initial hit was painful). I haven't tried it before makeup - but my friend swears by it saying it makes her foundation smoother and last longer. I'm impressed by the results. My skin is definitely softer and smoother.

The best moisturiser!!!

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

This is my holy grail moisturiser. I took me so long to finally find the best moisturiser for me that is sooo lightweight yet very hydrating. It gives my skin a drink! It has improved my skin so much as it replenishes moisture, and absorbs and spreads on the skin like leather. It is fragrance free so it's so gentle on my acne skin. I love it so much that I don't think I will ever change to any different product anymore

Disappointed

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

No, I don't recommend this

I was given this as a sample tube, I normally use the dramatically different moisturiser and thought I'd give this a try. Very disappointed, left my skin feeling sticky and didn't take away dryness even though it was absorbed quickly. So quickly that I had to use more than normal to feel moisturised. I have dry skin so maybe it was for a different skin type but I wouldn't use again, I'll stick to my dramatically different moisturiser.
