A concentrated Moisture Surge gel-cream built for dry, thirsty skin
Clinique Moisture Surge(TM) 72H Intense Hydrating Care, Dry Skin, 15 ml (0.51fl oz) is a concentrated, richer version of the Moisture Surge gel-cream, formulated for dry skin for dry skin that needs a longer-lasting hydration boost than the original Moisture Surge gel. Built on Clinique's Auto-Replenishing hydration technology, it draws in and holds water in the skin's surface layers over 72 hours, while a richer base than the original gel helps dry skin feel comfortable rather than tight.
The texture
A cushiony gel-cream that melts on contact and leaves skin feeling plump, not greasy.
Who it suits
- Dry or dehydrated skin
- Anyone who finds the original Moisture Surge gel too light
- A hydration boost that lasts through the day
- Layering under makeup or a night cream
Worth knowing before you buy: a travel-friendly 15ml size of the 72H formula; the full-size gel-cream suits all skin types, this dry-skin version is richer.
