Product Spotlight: Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion+
Created in partnership with CLINIQUE
The Global Hype
Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion+ is a brand bestseller for its ability to transform dull, dry, lacklustre skin. A big part of its appeal is that it leaves your complexion feeling buttery soft, never sticky or greasy, serving as an ideal pre-make-up base, while soothing dryness and irritation.
About Its Bestselling Formula
Developed by dermatologists, Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion+ stands out because it’s so well tolerated by all, with ingredients that promise to strengthen your moisture barrier by locking in hydration so that moisture stays put.
Those ingredients include sunflower seed oil, barley extract and cucumber fruit extracts – all rich in antioxidants to soothe and protect skin. You then have glycerin and urea, which work together to help retain skin’s moisture levels for a healthier and more balanced complexion. Nevertheless, there are different options depending on your skin type, with Clinique creating several to suit individual needs following research that showed a third of women believe they’ve misidentified their skin type and, as a result, aren’t using the correct formulations and products to suit it.*
How to Choose the Right One
There are three formulas to choose from. The Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion+ is best suited to those who suffer with dryness or have combination skin, while Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel is best for those with an oilier complexion, thanks to its mattifying effects. Both benefit from the same ingredients, but with different textures that cater to individual needs. There is also the Hydrating Jelly, which floods skin with moisture and is best suited to those with very dry skin types. All formulas are fragrance free, meaning no irritation or sensitivities – no matter your skin type. You’ll find just two pumps are enough to cover both your face and neck.
Advice On How To Get The Most From It
Start with a double cleanse, using a remover like Clinique’s new Take The Day Off Mousse, followed by a gentle, fragrance-free, non-stripping face wash such as Liquid Facial Soap Extra Mild. These steps prepare your skin so that when you apply the Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion+, it can absorb fully for maximum results. Immediately, skin will feel alleviated of any tightness or dryness, but over time is when you’ll see your skin’s elasticity and tone is boosted with better glow and softness, too. Seal in the benefits with an SPF to keep your skin protected from both UVA and UVB rays.
