Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72H Hydrator Face Moisturizer 1 fl oz — Lipid‑Replenishing, Aloe & Cica

This concentrated face moisturizer combines activated aloe water, cica, and a trio of lipids to soothe, plump, and help protect dry or dehydrated skin. Designed for very dry to dry combination skin, the formula is fragrance-free, allergy-tested, and dermatologist-guided. Clinique developed Moisture Surge Intense to supply immediate comfort and long-lasting moisture that performs even in challenging climates.

How quickly does this moisturizer hydrate skin?

The gel-cream texture sinks in rapidly to provide an immediate feeling of hydration and a smoother surface. Users report an instant improvement in skin comfort and a sustained hydrated feel that can persist between applications.

• Instant moisture infusion from activated aloe water and hydrating agents
• Gel-cream format absorbs without heavy residue
• Clinically measured 72-hour continuous hydration after application

What ingredients help calm and strengthen dry skin?

This formula blends cica (centella asiatica) for soothing with a lipid trio to reinforce the skin’s barrier, helping the face retain moisture and resist environmental stressors. The calming and reparative components reduce tightness and improve softness.

• Cica to comfort and reduce sensations of dryness
• Lipid complex that supports barrier repair and moisture retention
• Activated aloe water to hydrate and refresh the skin surface

Will it be too heavy for combination skin or use in daytime?

Although richer than Clinique’s lighter water-gel hydrators, this cream-gel is crafted to balance nourishment and absorption, making it suitable for very dry to dry combination skin. It layers well under makeup and can be used in morning or evening routines when extra hydration is needed.

• Non-greasy finish that layers under makeup and sunscreen
• Ideal for dry zones while not overloading oil-prone areas when used sparingly
• Fragrance-free and dermatologically guided for sensitive-prone skin

How was its performance tested in extreme conditions?

Clinique evaluated this hydrator with consumer testing in severe cold-weather settings to observe protection and hydration continuity. The results indicated strong immediate comfort and perceived protection in harsh climates.

• Consumer testing on women in winter conditions showed high immediate satisfaction
• Reported improvement in feeling of protection and hydration after use
• Formulated with clinical guidance to withstand environmental stressors

Who this is for: Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator is tailored for people with very dry to dry combination skin who need a richer, scientifically informed moisturizer to soothe tightness, restore softness, and lock in moisture for multiple days. Choose this if you want a fragrance-free, dermatologist-guided daily cream-gel that performs in cold or challenging climates and layers well under makeup and SPF.
