Clinique- Moisture Surge 100H Hydrator I received this item recently as a complimentary Ulta deluxe sample and decided to give it a test drive in the harsh winter snow. I brought this along with me during a recent ski trip to test this out. I normally use the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion as part of the 3 step Clinique Skincare System, but I decided to swap this lighter lotion with the 100H Moisture Surge. It was perfect for the dry winter winds, kept my skin protected and hydrated despite the weather. I liked that the product was fragrance and dye free like other Clinique products and did not irritate my skin. No sticky residue or oiliness in this lotion. Did it actually last 100 hours in real life?

I would buy this product again and I would recommend this to others.

This hydrating, gel-based moisturizer leaves my skin feeling refreshed and soft. It makes my skin look and feel young. My skin has a nice glow after applying Moisture Surge™️. It works for all skin types. My skin goes through a dry, combo, and oily stage, depending on the weather and if my eczema is acting up. Normally, I have oily skin, but because of my occasional eczema, my skin will get quite dry. This product does not clog pores, or leave a greasy feeling, and on the flip side it soothes dry skin. 100% fragrance-free, it contains hyaluronic acid to help plump up and keep moisture in the skin, and antioxidants vitamins C and E. If I'm not wearing any make up, I can apply this hydrator throughout the day should I need a little pick me up for my face. It reads ... MoreThis hydrating, gel-based moisturizer leaves my skin feeling refreshed and soft. It makes my skin look and feel young. My skin has a nice glow after applying Moisture Surge™️.

It reads that it can double as a mask, although I don't know why anybody would want to wash this beautiful hydrator off their skin. The price is less than other department store lines that offer similar products. Overall, I think it's a great multi use hydrator and I highly recommend.

I've been using the Clinique Moisture Surge™ 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator Moisturizer for a few weeks now, and it's become a staple in my skincare routine. The packaging is a jar design that allows you to get every last bit of product. The texture is lightweight and gel-like, which feels refreshing on the skin, especially after a long day. In terms of performance, this moisturizer absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue, which is a big plus for me. It provides long-lasting hydration that keeps my skin feeling soft and supple throughout the day. I have noticed an improvement in my skin’s overall moisture level, even in areas that tend to get dry. The scent is very subtle, which I appreciate as it doesn’t interfere with any other products I use.

I received this Moisture Surge 100H Auto Replenishing Hydrator sample from Clinique Canada to test. This came at a great time, as the cold and dry winter air here has been sucking the moisture from my skin lately, and this lotion is amazingly hydrating. I also appreciate that it is virtually unscented, so it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. I have no complaints at all. From the clinique website: Key Ingredients Aloe Bioferment + HA Complex combines two hydrating ingredients into one powerhouse complex to help attract moisture and retain it: Aloe bioferment: Clinique scientists transformed the aloe vera plant through an exclusive fermentation process.

One of the benefits of fermentation is that it breaks apart larger molecules into smaller ones, making them more easily absorbed into skin. Made with lactobacillus, activated aloe water, and responsibly sourced and certified organic aloe extract powder, this nutrient-rich ingredient helps skin retain moisture. Hyaluronic acid: This moisture-binding ingredient helps create a “moisture reservoir” for ideal hydration. Our formula is expertly blended with two different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid. Other key ingredients include: Activated aloe water: Pure water is infused with aloe barbadensis leaf extract, then supercharged to hold both positive and negative ionic charges. Auto-Replenishing Technology: Using activated aloe water and caffeine, it helps trigger skin’s own rehydration system. Blend of vitamins C and E: Helps provide antioxidant protection against daily dehydrators.

Caused white flaky and painful irritation on face and eyelid

Unfortunately!! I want to love this product since the first and second use were great BUT it irritated my skin so badly I had to use a cortison cream to fix the damage! my face specially around my mouth and my eye lids have developped white flaky skin that has become painfull and red. I hope this did not cause indefinete damage.I believed Clinique to be hypoallergenic but that does not seem to be the case I had to discontinue the use of 4 Clinique products for my flares to go away:- Moisture Surge™ 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator- All About Eyes™ Eye Cream with Vitamin C- All About Clean™ Foaming Facial Soap- Take The Day Off™ Makeup Remover For Lids, Lashes & LipsI don't usually review products but I believe anyone with sensitive or allergy/eczema prone ... MoreUnfortunately!!

Results with Acne

REVIEW FOR PEOPLE WITH ACNE! I have really bad acne, looking for products that will actually work for me is worrying because I have no clue how my skin will react and I know there's a LOT of people in the same boat so here is my honest review. I've been using the Clinique face wash for a while with no problems but nothing cleared up. At this point I took it to my doctor and got a prescription cream for it and I have never ever seen my skin get this dry, it's actually horrible so I use it at night, I can't put on any moisturizer or anything with it because it makes it 10x worse so I have to use something really good in the morning and this works miracles, it doesn't clog any pores, it doesn't irritate my skin and it hydrates enough that the scarring/bumps don't look ... MoreREVIEW FOR PEOPLE WITH ACNE!

At this point I took it to my doctor and got a prescription cream for it and I have never ever seen my skin get this dry, it's actually horrible so I use it at night, I can't put on any moisturizer or anything with it because it makes it 10x worse so I have to use something really good in the morning and this works miracles, it doesn't clog any pores, it doesn't irritate my skin and it hydrates enough that the scarring/bumps don't look as bad. It doesn't smell like anything super fragranced which I think also helps. The texture is so good and the moisturizer stays so long without making me look super shiny, and a little goes a long way. I figured a container like this would hardly last a month but you barely have to use any for your entire face to be hydrated, it doesn't just immediately soak in and dry, it stays all day. I can't recommend this enough, I feel like if i had super clear skin it would just look like glass skin, I'm on my way to buy this along with the new spf version of this to try it out too. I hope this helps someone out there with the same problem!

So good for severely dry skin!

I've tried all kinds of gel moisturizers, oils, creams, hyaluronic acid, and even straight petroleum to help my dry skin. I call it "lizard skin" because I have this very plasticky top layer of skin that doesn't absorb any moisture. I have to scrub it hard to get it off, and then I feel like I've got a sunburn. Whenever I use makeup, I still see the dry patches and uneven texture. I got this clinique for my Ulta birthday gift, and WOW. It actually absorbs into that top layer and below it, and my skin feels soft and plump again. It does leave a slightly tacky/sticky texture, but for foundation or CC cream, it works as the perfect primer. It's fragrance free and very low scent. The only thing I smell are the actual ingredients, and that's a huge plus.

My skin is starting to heal and become healthier with the use of this, so I definitely recommend it! I have sensitive skin as well and haven't personally noticed any irritation, but everyone is different.

The best moisturizer… IF you’re using it right

Amazing product… IN THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES.If you’re using this (or the other moisture surge products) in dry climates, spritz your face with water before and after applying!I used this all the time when I lived on the humid east coast and looooooved it. I stopped using it for a while. Then I was visiting my mother in the very dry high desert, and my moisturizer wasn’t cutting it. So I borrowed some.My skin dried out *almost instantly,* it was insane. So I looked at the ingredients list, and sure enough: it has TONS of hyaluronic acid, both molecular weights.For those who don’t know HA works by attracting and binding water. High weight HA draws water to the surface of the skin, which makes it plumping/firming. Lower weight penetrates more deeply and draws ... MoreAmazing product… IN THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES.If you’re using this (or the other moisture surge products) in dry climates, spritz your face with water before and after applying!I used this all the time when I lived on the humid east coast and looooooved it.

High weight HA draws water to the surface of the skin, which makes it plumping/firming. Lower weight penetrates more deeply and draws water to lower levels, more deeply hydrating. If you apply it before other water-soluble ingredients, it will draw them to your skin, too.But where does it draw that water from? The air. And in the high desert with 2% humidity and no water in the air… instead it drew water from my skin!I’ll say, I’ve used this in moderately dry climates before with no issues — climates where regular HA serum dried me out quick as a whip. I think all of the other things — the glycerin, the aloe ferment, provide enough water to mitigate any drying effects…. Up to a point. But in mountain desert air, it isn’t enough.With this in mind, I applied it in a humid room after a shower. It was awesome, my face was hydrated all day against the desert air. That night, I spritzed my face with water before and after applying, and it was great.The next day, after washing my face, I tried it with the TJs rosewater mist before and after applying. Even more awesome!So — yeah. Amazing moisturizer in humid-moderate climates. But it needs a little boost in ultra-dry areas.

Too much silicone...

Going on this seemed amazing, I could almost feel my skin breathing a sigh of relief as this watery gel textured moisturizer glided onto it, and would absorb within seconds. It was also the perfect level of hydration for my oily/combination skin type. But within days I started experiencing red bumps on my cheeks and forehead, which is when I finally decided to take a look at the ingredients list and spotted 'Dimethicone' sitting near the top (I really should've checked that first!). If your skin tolerates silicones - by all means give it a try. Unfortunately my skin hates any type of silicone so will have to pass this on to someone else. ~ My Top 5 Beauty Must-Have list ~1.
