I bought this for my husband who has been looking for a hydrating moisturizer for his face that doesn't have all the intense scents in it. I have always liked the Clinique brand, and thought this would help. After the first try, he absolutely loves it. He uses it every evening after washing his face, and it helps so much with the dryness, his skin feels and looks much more lively after only two days use. It's his new go-to.

Fantastic

Works fantastically! I've had this going on 3 months and I am only just now going to replace it. It came in a "men's pack" that had this, and a 72 hour facial rehydration cream, and a little bag. It's very light and makes your eye area feel tighter. I used it because I have incredibly dry skin that bleeds after 24 hours of not moisturizing. This product along with a range of Cliniques other facial items are the ONLY thing that has ever brought a complete end to my dry, flakey, and burning skin. I don't know if it lasts 96 hours, but it definitely last the into the following day should I forget to apply it before bed at night. This could be due to my incredibly dry skin, however. I'm a little concerned about some of the health issues a few of the ingredients of their ... MoreWorks fantastically! I've had this going on 3 months and I am only just now going to replace it.

Good product but a bit strong

I am using this 2 maybe 3 times a week when I do my full regimen. My skin feels hydrated, firm, healthy matte look. The feel and look does last a few days..it does take a minute to soak in . A little goes a long way. One thing I highly recommend is using this with a lightweight normal to dry skin moisturizer. It's on the strong side and can dry up your skin. I have combination oily skin. Why I like this, fast results, longer lasting the more I use it, fragrance free, visible difference, skin feels great. What I don't , pricey, a bit on the strong side. Definitely wouldn't recommend using it twice daily.

Happy with this product

I find this to be a very gentle and light weight product. As someone else mentioned, it can leave a slight shinny film if you use to much. I initially got her woman's version of this as a sample and used it for a month. I really liked it so I bought the men's line. They seem similar.

My husband loves it!

I purchased this and a few other facial products for my husband because the dry climate and harsh winter weather was taking a toll on his skin, and I could see he needed something. I had noticed he had started getting bags and wrinkles in the eye area, so I asked if he'd like to try it. After just one use, he said he felt like his eyes were tighter and rejuvenated! I was convinced! He uses it faithfully on a daily basis and asked me to order more! I believe 1 bottle lasted 2 months, which included him using it a.m. and p.m. on most days. Our initial purchase was in-store and on sale, whereas at the same time, the online store/mobile app wasn't reflecting the instore sale price, so we definitely recommend this product, just check your local Ulta store first for a ... MoreI purchased this and a few other facial products for my husband because the dry climate and harsh winter weather was taking a toll on his skin, and I could see he needed something.

Perfect for dry skin-and easy to apply

I bought the original for my husband years ago and I fear I have created a monster! He doesn't 'do' after shave or other grooming products for men but he loves this Clinique moisturiser and especially this new(ish) gel formulation. He has very dry skin and he says it works for him. He says it's easy to apply and his skin feels moisturised but not 'claggy'-his words.

Refreshing and soft skin after

This product is perfect for me. Feels extremely light on the skin, does not feel oily, has a cooling touch to it. Perfect for escaping dry skin during winter season. I usually apply before bedtime and my face feels soft and plump in the mornings, even into the afternoon whenever I rinse my face I can still feel the moisture on my skin. Love it!

Truly the Best Moisturizer I Own

I had been using the previous formula of the maximum hydrator as a night cream for years and it was quite good. This new formula with hyaluronic acid and aloe water is a much more superior face moisturizer. The gel really feels refreshing on the skin, a sensation I fell in love with instantly. Now I actually look forward to my skin care routine every day because I love how great this gel makes my skin feel. Also, a little bit of it goes a long way. It leaves my skin feeling plump and hydrated, without any sticky or greasy sensation. I have combination skin and I would highly recommend this to anyone who struggles with oily skin and acne, and anyone in search of true and long-lasting hydration. I use the maximum hydrator in the morning and at night. I am so happy ... MoreI had been using the previous formula of the maximum hydrator as a night cream for years and it was quite good.

Why change a good thing?

This product just doesn't match it's previous replacement. I find it to be gummy, and feels like you have something slimy on my face. Let alone, I see no benefit after using it for three months. I have been a 47 year Clinique user, and they are starting to annoy me by changing things that don't work as well as the original products. Perhaps this is cheaper to make and allows them to raise the price and use cheaper chemistry. i've no idea. I just know that i don't like this product and it makes me sad.

Why change formula

My son has been using the old formula for years for his red, patchy and very dry skin which was great. This new product is totally different, why not just add this new cream to your products and keep the old one as new is not always best. The new formula does not work at all. We will definitely not buy again as it's making his skin worse. So disappointed with clinique. I have been trying everywhere for stocks of the old product to no avail. Clinique obviously dont want to keep their long standing clients. Just change the packaging if you want something new that way you keep old and get new as well. My son who is 22 who I introduced would definitely not recommend.
