Clinique Moisture Surge Sheer Hydrator SPF 28 Face Moisturizer, 2.5 fl oz — Lightweight Hydration with Hyaluronic Acid

Clinique Moisture Surge Broad Spectrum SPF 28 Sheer Hydrator is a lightweight face moisturizer that delivers long-lasting hydration while offering broad-spectrum SPF 28 protection in a non-greasy, sheer finish.

This cloud-like cream blends Clinique’s moisture-boosting technology with sunscreen protection to defend skin from daily dehydration and UV exposure. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, aloe bioferment, and provitamin D, it targets moisture loss from environmental stressors—like dry air, travel, and screen time—while absorbing with no white cast, residue, or tacky feel. The product is allergy tested, dermatologist-tested, fragrance-free, and designed to be safe for sensitive skin.

How does this hydrator restore moisture without feeling heavy?

The formula uses hyaluronic acid and aloe bioferment to draw water into the skin’s surface and lock it in for hours. Its lightweight, cloud-like texture spreads smoothly and sinks in, leaving skin hydrated but not oily or shiny.

• Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds moisture for plumper-feeling skin.
• Aloe bioferment helps improve water retention and soothes dryness.
• Non-greasy texture layers easily under makeup or alone.

Will the SPF 28 leave a white cast or affect makeup?

Clinique’s sheer hydrator is formulated to appear opaque when dispensed but blend into the skin without leaving a visible cast or residue. It creates a smooth base for makeup and won’t interfere with foundation application for most skin tones.

• Sheer finish absorbs without visible whitening on application.
• Leaves a hydrated, smooth canvas suitable for primers and foundation.
• Designed to feel lightweight so makeup applies evenly.

How does this product help protect skin from daily environmental stress?

Beyond SPF, the hydrator helps counteract common causes of dehydration—like indoor climate control, travel, and pollution—by stabilizing skin’s moisture balance. Provitamin D and antioxidant-supportive ingredients assist skin’s natural defenses against free-radical triggers associated with sun and environmental exposure.

• SPF 28 provides broad-spectrum UV filtering when used as directed.
• Provitamin D supports skin resilience against daily stressors.
• Hydration ingredients reduce visibility of dryness-related texture.

Is this suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formula is 100% fragrance-free, allergy tested, and dermatologist tested, aiming to minimize irritation for sensitive skin. Its non-comedogenic, lightweight nature makes it a good option for those concerned about clogged pores, though individual skin reactions vary.

• Fragrance-free and allergy tested to lower irritation risk.
• Dermatologist-tested and developed by Clinique’s skincare experts.
• Light, non-sticky texture that is less likely to feel heavy on congested skin.

Who this product is for: Clinique Moisture Surge SPF 28 Sheer Hydrator suits anyone seeking a daily face moisturizer that combines reliable hydration with sunscreen coverage in a lightweight, non-greasy formula. It’s particularly helpful for people who live or work in environments that dry out skin—air-conditioned offices, frequent flyers, or those exposed to outdoor sun—plus anyone who wants a smooth makeup base without a white cast. If you have highly reactive or specialized skin conditions, consult a dermatologist before use.
