Clinique Hydrating Jelly Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid — 4.2 fl oz, Oil-Free Lightweight

Clinique Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly is a lightweight, oil-free daily moisturizer that locks in 24-hour hydration and supports the skin’s moisture barrier without leaving a sticky residue.

This clear water-jelly moisturizer is Step 3 in Clinique’s dermatologist-developed 3-Step system. Formulated with hyaluronic acid and a botanical blend including sunflower seed cake, barley extract, and cucumber fruit extract, it replenishes the skin’s oil-water balance while providing pollution protection through Clean Shield Technology. The gel texture absorbs quickly, leaving skin smooth, refreshed, and non-greasy—suitable for all skin types.

How does this moisturizer hydrate without feeling heavy?

The formula uses a water-jelly base combined with hyaluronic acid to attract and hold moisture at the skin’s surface while remaining oil-free. That means fast absorption, no greasy film, and a cooling, fresh sensation after application.

• Water-jelly texture penetrates quickly for immediate hydration.
• Hyaluronic acid binds moisture for lasting plumpness.
• Oil-free formula avoids pore-clogging and shine.
• Non-sticky finish suits makeup layering.

Will it help strengthen my skin’s moisture barrier?

Clinical testing indicated improvement in barrier strength within one week for participants, driven by replenishing the skin’s oil-water balance and supporting natural defenses. The moisturizer works to maintain hydration levels so the barrier can recover and function more effectively.

• Replenishes oil-water balance to support barrier repair.
• Botanical extracts contribute soothing and protective effects.
• Developed with dermatologists and allergy-tested for safety.

Is this product suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formula is 100% fragrance-free, allergy tested, and dermatologist-tested, making it a gentle option for many skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. Because it’s oil-free and fast-absorbing, it minimizes the greasy feel that can aggravate breakouts.

• Fragrance-free to reduce irritation risk.
• Non-comedogenic texture that won’t overly burden pores.
• Lightweight enough for morning and evening routines.

How do I use this in my daily skincare routine?

Use Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly as the final step in Clinique’s 3-Step regimen—after cleansing and exfoliating or clarifying. Apply a small amount to face and neck, gently smoothing until absorbed; it pairs well under sunscreen and makeup.

• Step 1: Cleanse, Step 2: Exfoliate/clarify, Step 3: Apply jelly.
• Use twice daily for continuous hydration benefits.
• Layer under sunscreen during the day for pollution protection.

Who is this for? Clinique Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly is designed for anyone seeking light, reliable daily hydration without oil or fragrance—ideal if you want fast-absorbing moisture that supports barrier health, works under makeup, and suits combination, oily, sensitive, or normal skin types. It’s also a practical choice for those living in polluted urban environments who want a protective, non-greasy finish.
