Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ 4.2 fl oz — Hydrating face moisturizer, strengthens skin barrier

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ is a fast-absorbing daily face moisturizer formulated to restore and lock in hydration while helping strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier.

This lightweight, silky lotion is Step 3 in Clinique’s dermatologist-developed 3-Step Skin Care System and is designed primarily for very dry to dry combination skin. The formula combines glycerin and urea—two humectant ingredients—to draw moisture into the skin and help hold it there for hours. Clinique positions this product as a simple, science-based solution to replenish oil–water balance and deliver sustained softening and smoothing benefits.

How quickly will I notice improved hydration?

Clinical testing reported measurable improvements to the skin’s barrier within a short timeframe; users often feel immediate smoothing and reduced tightness after application. The lotion absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, making it easy to incorporate into morning and evening routines.

• Visible barrier strengthening in clinical testing within two hours.
• Formulated for eight hours of hydration and soothing moisture.
• Silky, non-greasy texture that layers well under serums and sunscreen.

What key ingredients provide hydration and barrier support?

This moisturizer relies on proven humectants to attract and retain water in the skin while supporting natural moisture factors. The combination of glycerin and urea helps pull in hydration and bind it, promoting a smoother, more supple feel.

• Pure glycerin: attracts and locks in moisture.
• Pure urea: increases hydration and skin softness.
• Natural moisturizing factors (NMFs): help bind water to skin for balanced hydration.

Can this be used with other products in my routine?

Yes—Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ is formulated to integrate into a multi-step regimen. It is the final step in Clinique’s 3-Step system but also pairs well after serums, treatments, or sunscreen to seal in active ingredients and deliver lasting moisture.

• Use after cleansing and exfoliating for the complete 3-step method.
• Layers comfortably under makeup and sunscreen without pilling.
• 100% fragrance-free and allergy-tested to reduce irritation risk.
