Anyone use Clinique Dramatically Different moisturizer?

Steph

Veteran

I have resolved to start learning about wearing makeup (I wear none, and at 33 years old, I think I should probably learn at some point), so I decided to go through all of the free samples I have received from Clinique (my boyfriend uses their shaving cream so I am constantly getting their free makeup bags of samples). While going through them I realized I have about 5 or 6 untouched tubes of their Dramatically Different moisturizers. I have never even tried it because I have very sensitive and picky skin. If anyone uses this and would like me to mail them all of the brand-new tubes I have, let me know!

I wore it for many years just from the free samples. Mom Mother-in-law would even save hers and put them in my stocking for x-mas....lol

It's a great moisterizer. I use something totally different now.

I used to; but then it got too expensive. LOL.

Hi, I'm a fan and use it on a daily basis. Is it the cream or gel?

Mary, it's the cream. I have a total of 3.5 ounces--three one ounce tubes and one half ounce purse-sized tube.

I tried this and it completely dried out my skin. But skin is so different, Steph. Perhaps you can test it out for a while?

No, my skin is dry and extremely sensitive. The lotion has too many ingredients that I think would not work well for me, including lanolin alcohol--I am mildly allergic to lanolin so I don't want to put it on my face.

Steph, I've been using the gel for years as my skin used to be very oily. I guess my skin was great and low maintenance when I was younger so I didn't need my moisturizer to do more than simply moisturize. Now, my skin has turned more combination with significant dryness in the non-T zone areas and I find CDDMG is not doing much for me anymore. Lately, I've been adding 2 drops of tea tree oil to 2 squirts of the gel every morning for added moisture. I am looking into other moisturizers to switch to once I have used up the half bottle I have left.

I always purchase during the semi-annual sale when they give out a gift bag with deluxe samples. Their deluxe size samples of mascara and lipstick last until the next semi-annual sale!

ETA: I just realized you weren't really looking for reviews on the product - sorry for the long reply you didn't even ask for!

My husband and I both use the gel, but I like the cream too. If nobody else wants it, I'll take it off your hands. My mom uses Clinique religiously but also can't use this moisturizer.
I used it when I first started caring for my skin, but then I had to switch to Neutrogena as prescribed by my dermatologist.
Now, a lot of other creams are actually TOO heavy, which combined with the heat and occasional humidity, is a bad combination. DDM and DDM-gel are a perfect solution.

My husband loves it! I had to convince him that it is exactly the same product as the higher priced Clinique men's moisturizer in the manly gray bottle!

I used it for years but recently switched to Olay and Neutrogena products. Try it out, it may be perfect for you.

I found it drying as well, or maybe not rich enough for my dry skin, even when I was younger.

I used to use it for a long time, but switched to a daily moisturizer that has sunscreen. Too much skin cancer in my family for me not to protect my face every day.

I've recently gone back to using Clinique products. I use the DDM gel at night and just a sunscreen during the day x

I've used DDC for years. Love it. I use the gel in the summer when my skin isn't as dry.

Ahhh...good to know. I prefer the gel, my skin responds better to it than the cream. Thanks for offering though

No problem Mary. It looks like Sarah was the only one who asked for the cream so I'm mailing it to her.

Now to find a moisturizer for myself.
