My face is the yucky combination of part dry/part oily skin, so I struggle finding a good moisturizer. This, is a good one. To me, it feels like putting water on your skin, but in a cream form. It is cool feeling when you rub it in, which just soothes your face. No matter how much you use, it is light feeling, and lasts the 12 hours Clinique claims it will last. I live in Oklahoma, which has high humidity, and this lotion lives up to the claim that it will hold skins moisture even in humidity changes.

About the lotion:
You are supposed to use daily, and can refreshen midday by "tapping" a small amount over makeup. It is supposed to last for 12 hours, and for me it does. Cliniques add says that it will give you a "by-a-waterfall feel." It keeps your skin moisturized through changes in humidity as well. It comes in 2 sizes, 1.7 oz for $34 or 2.5 oz. for $46.60. It is allergy tested and 100% fragrance free.

My thoughts:
I really do like this lotion, and it feels great on. My only complaint is the price. Clinique is traditionally higher priced, and they offer great products, but after all my trials with moisturizers, etc, I have found Oil of Olay's regenerist line to be very comparable, and much more inexpensive. With this, you are getting a moisturizer only, but some of the others I have tried have added benefits, such as SPF, anti-aging, etc. So, that is the only reason I give this lotion 4 stars, is because of the price.

It's good, but I, too, am on a tight budget & prefer my moisturizer to do more than just moisturize, otherwise it is even more expensive from buying the other products to compensate (sunscreen, etc.)

Thanks for the info. I've been thinking of trying it but am on a tight budget.
