Still unsure!
I have VERY weird dry-combo skin during the winter (add that on top of having eczema, rosacea and hormonal acne). My skin doesn't absorb well either. Gels are often too light and do not nourish my skin adequately, and creams are often too heavy and make me break out. Gel-creams are either a hit or miss. I was intrigued with this product because it's a gel-cream and it says "Extended Thirst Relief"...read more on the packaging--something I was very interested in because spots on my face can become flakey (especially after a pimple starts to dry up). I needed something that was going to last all day. I like that this absorbs right into my skin. However, after a few minutes, my skin feels a bit too tight and I feel like I have to put on MORE of this stuff (or supplement it with another moisturizer) in order for my skin to feel nourished and comfortable. For $34 a jar, I'm afraid that I'm going to blast my way through this jar too quickly. Also, having an open jar format isn't the most sanitary (and you're more likely to use too much too!) However, with Clinique products, I know it's not going to irritate or break out my skin because it doesn't have all those nasty chemicals that are harsh on sensitive skin. Although this moisturizer isnt my miracle product, it's going to have to be this until I find a better product. I'm not a fan of the Moisture Surge Intense because my skin can't take the silicone-y feeling even though it's supposed to hydrate more. I still prefer the Extended Thirst Relief to the Intense formula.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 8 of 8 people said helpful

Moisturizing And Light
As part of the gift with purchase, I was able to try this deluxe sample of Clinique’s moisture surge. This moisture surge extended thirst relief is a great moisturizer that goes on lightweight and feels like you're wearing nothing at all. It also evens out my skin and smoothes out those rough patches. The product has been tested against any sort of allergies and happens to be one hundred percent...read more fragrance free so it really just allows my skin to breathe with this product on with a tint of moisturizer that is not too overwhelming or too little but just right. The instructions imply that this moisturizer can be used whenever, and wherever needed. However, I mainly just use it for my face right after I shower. It works well under and eve over makeup, so it works well as base before applying foundation or such, or even over blush when my skin starts to feel dry there. Lastly, it can also be used as a 5-minute moisturize mask. That is, you can apply a thicker layer all over your skin, allow the product to soak in and really smooth your skin and then wash it off or wipe the excess off. I've always been content with this product and it's very comparable to the Garnier Nutritioniste Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream, which is definitely the cheaper alternative to this product. If price were not an issue, I would definitely recommend trying this product out and see if the results are as great for you as they were for me. The only slight downside is that even though it claims to be 100 percent fragrance free, over time a slight nauseating scent does develop. Regardless, this product is still really light, so once I applied the product, the smell is almost undetectable.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 7 people said helpful

ok moisturizer
It's not a bad moisturizer, gets absorbed well, doesn't smell, but if you have really dry skin, like I do, it doesn't solve the problem. I expected more from Clinique and for that price.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful
