An oil-free gel-cream that keeps thirsty skin hydrated for days
Clinique Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator is a refreshing, oil-free gel-cream for all skin types that feel tight, dull or dehydrated. It is built around aloe bio-ferment and hyaluronic acid, which attract water and help the skin hold on to it, while caffeine and activated aloe water support the skin’s own ability to rehydrate. Antioxidant vitamins C and E help defend against the daily factors that dry skin out, such as pollution, air conditioning and weather changes. Clinique reports up to 100 hours of hydration, and the skin looks smoother and fresher from the first use.
The texture
A light, bouncy gel-cream that melts in quickly and leaves a soft, non-greasy finish. It sits well under make-up and can also be applied in a thicker layer as a 5-minute mask when the skin feels parched.
Who it suits
- Dehydrated skin that feels tight after cleansing
- Combination and oily skin that wants moisture without oil
- Dry-feeling skin after flights or in heated rooms
- Anyone who likes a light moisturizer under make-up
Worth knowing before you buy: The formula contains colorants (Red 4, Yellow 5) and silicones. Very dry skin may need a richer cream on top in winter, such as the Moisture Surge SPF25 day cream during the day.
How long one jar lasts
Used morning and evening on the face, the 30ml jar lasts about 5 to 6 weeks.
