So, I'm going to try to make this review shorter than my review of this product's sister/brother, the Dramatically Different Different Moisturizing Gel. If you click the link, it will take you to my review of the gel, an explanation of how Clinique's skincare routine works, and the different skin types, which I won't discuss in this review in the interest of time.
This lotion is unscented as far as I can tell, unlike the gel which carried a light scent. It also comes in 2 different sizes, 1.7 and 4.2 oz. The picture above is the 4.2 oz. size with a pump. The 1.7 oz. size comes in a tube. I would definitely recommend spending the extra 50 cents and buying the bottle that comes with a pump as opposed to the pumpless one because the pump gives you more control over how much product you dispense and is far more hygenic. The lotion itself is a slightly thicker consistency than the gel, but even so, you can tell that the formula contains a lot of water, or a water-like substance. It is also slightly more yellow than the gel if you look closely.
The product feels very cool and refreshing upon application and is recommended for people with very dry, dry, or dry combination skin. I, however, disagree. I have normal skin, and found that this lotion was the perfect consistency and formula for me. My mother (why am I saying mother and being so formal) had given me a travel size bottle of it to try since I had mentioned that I was running out of my previous moisturizer, the Clinique Moisture Surge Intense Thirst Relief, and asked if she had any suggestions. I am doing a review on my previous moisturizer soon, but I will say that this product tops the Moisture Surge in price and performance. Initially, I was very skeptical about this product, but I gave it a try anyway. It left my skin feeling very soft and moisturized, even the next morning, which was surprising because usually the effects wear off overnight/throughout the day. I would definitely recommend this product. However, those of you with very dry skin may (or may not) find that this product isn't moisturizing enough. If so, I would recommend using the Moisture Surge on top of the lotion. Overall, 5/5 stars.
On a side note, if anyone knows of a good eye product for dark circles, please leave me a comment. I can't seem to find a good one for the life of me.
