Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ 4.2 fl oz — Hydrating, Barrier‑Strengthening Daily Face Moisturizer

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ is a fast-absorbing daily face moisturizer formulated with glycerin and urea to replenish hydration and support the skin’s moisture barrier.

This lightweight yet nourishing lotion is Step 3 of Clinique’s dermatologist-developed 3-Step system and is designed to restore the oil–water balance for very dry to dry combination skin. The silky formula absorbs quickly, provides up to eight hours of measurable hydration, and contains natural moisturizing factors that help attract and lock in water to the skin’s surface. Clinique’s formula is allergy-tested, fragrance-free, and created with dermatological expertise for reliable everyday use.

How quickly does this moisturizer hydrate and strengthen the skin?

Clinical testing showed improvements to the skin’s barrier function within hours, and the lotion delivers immediate, soothing hydration on contact. Users report a smoother, softer feel as the formula both attracts moisture and helps retain it in the skin over the day.

• Noticeable moisture boost immediately upon application
• Clinical data recorded barrier strengthening in as little as two hours
• Provides up to eight hours of hydration per application
• Designed to restore oil–water balance for drier skin types

What key ingredients make this lotion effective?

The formula centers on humectants and skin-friendly compounds that draw moisture into the skin and help bind it there. It avoids fragrance and undergoes allergy and dermatologist testing to prioritize tolerance for sensitive skin types.

• Pure glycerin — attracts and holds moisture at the skin surface
• Pure urea — supports hydration and helps skin feel supple
• Natural moisturizing factors — help retain water in the outer skin layers
• Fragrance-free and allergy-tested for everyday comfort

How do I incorporate this into my daily skincare routine?

Use as the final step in Clinique’s three-step regimen after cleansing and exfoliating, morning and night. Apply to clean, dry skin with gentle upward strokes and allow a moment for the lotion to absorb before sunscreen or makeup.

• Step 1: Cleanse with your Clinique preference
• Step 2: Exfoliate/prepare skin as needed
• Step 3: Apply a nickel-sized amount of lotion to face and neck
• Follow with sunscreen in the morning or targeted treatments as needed

Will this product suit my skin if I’m sensitive or prone to irritation?

Clinique formulates this lotion without fragrance and performs allergy and dermatological testing to reduce the chance of irritation. Still, anyone with very reactive skin should patch-test first or consult a dermatologist if uncertain.

• 100% fragrance-free formulation
• Allergy-tested and dermatologist-developed
• Suitable for very dry to dry combination skin types
• Patch-test recommended for highly reactive skin
