Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator is a rich cream-gel moisturizer that delivers an immediate boost of moisture and helps maintain skin hydration for up to 72 hours.

This concentrated hydrator combines activated aloe water, cica and a lipid trio to replenish and support the skin’s moisture barrier while providing comforting, non-greasy hydration. Designed for very dry to dry-combination skin, the formula soothes and plumps skin texture while working to reduce the feeling of tightness. Clinique measures effectiveness in challenging conditions, and consumer testing shows high satisfaction with hydration and protection immediately after use.

How does this product hydrate for 72 hours?

The formula pairs an instant moisture boost from activated aloe water with a trio of lipids that help reinforce the skin’s barrier, locking moisture in over time. While the aloe provides rapid uptake and a cooling sensation, the lipid complex helps maintain hydration levels between applications.

• Activated aloe water supplies quick-absorbing hydration.
• Three lipids strengthen the barrier to reduce moisture loss.
• Cream-gel texture spreads easily without heavy residue.

Will it soothe dry or sensitive areas?

Clinique added cica to the formula to help calm and comfort dry, delicate skin; the combination with aloe reduces the sensation of tightness. The product is allergy-tested, dermatologist-tested, and fragrance-free, minimizing potential irritation for sensitive skin types.

• Cica helps soothe areas prone to dryness.
• Fragrance-free and allergy-tested for gentler wear.
• Dermatologist-guided formulation supports skin tolerance.

How does the texture feel and how should I use it?

The moisturizer has a rich cream-gel texture that melts into skin for a plump, velvety finish without oiliness. Use it morning and night on clean skin, or layer under makeup; it can also be applied as a thicker mask for extra replenishment when needed.

• Cream-gel consistency for smooth application and fast absorption.
• Suitable for daily use under makeup or as an overnight treatment.
• Apply to face and neck after serums for best results.

What clinical or consumer testing supports its performance?

Clinique conducted consumer testing in extreme winter conditions and collected immediate-use feedback on hydration and protection. Results reflect participants’ experiences right after application, illustrating the moisturizer’s ability to deliver noticeable comfort and hydration in harsh environments.

• Consumer testing on 106 women immediately after use showed strong hydration feedback.
• Formulated and tested under dermatological guidance.
• Allergy tested and 100% fragrance-free to prioritize safety and comfort.
