Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72H Hydrator – 1.7 fl oz, lipid-replenishing cream-gel for dry skin

Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator is a rich cream-gel moisturizer that locks in long-lasting hydration for up to 72 hours.

This deeply nourishing formula combines aloe water and cica with a lipid-replenishing complex to soothe, reinforce and comfort dry skin. Designed for drier skin types, it has a plush texture that absorbs without heavy residue and is fragrance-free, allergy tested and dermatologist approved. The jar contains 1.7 fl oz of product and aims to restore skin's moisture barrier while giving a soft, velvety finish.

How does this moisturizer deliver 72-hour hydration?

The formula uses a mix of water-based hydration and lipids that help skin retain moisture after a single application. Rather than relying solely on water content, it replenishes barrier lipids so hydration is held in the skin longer. Clinical-style consumer testing supports extended hydration claims when used as directed.

• Aloe water delivers immediate cooling and hydration to the skin surface.
• Lipid-replenishing ingredients help seal moisture into the skin barrier.
• Cica soothes and supports skin comfort during rehydration.
• Light cream-gel texture spreads easily and absorbs without greasiness.

Will this product work for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

Clinique formulates this hydrator to be gentle: it’s fragrance-free, allergy-tested and dermatologist tested, which reduces common irritants for sensitive skin. The inclusion of calming agents like cica further helps minimize discomfort during application. As with any new skincare, patch testing is recommended if you have a history of reactions.

• 100% fragrance-free to avoid scent-related irritation.
• Allergy tested to lower the risk of sensitivity.
• Dermatologist-tested formulation for broader skin compatibility.
• Soothing ingredients help calm redness and tightness.

How should I include Moisture Surge Intense in my skincare routine?

Use this hydrator after cleansing and applying serums, morning and night, to lock in benefits from previous steps. A pea-to-dime sized amount is usually sufficient; warm the product between fingertips and press gently into face and neck. For dry or cold conditions, layer a slightly thicker amount or follow with an occlusive if extra protection is needed.

• Apply after toner and serum while skin is slightly damp for best absorption.
• Pat into face and neck rather than rubbing to preserve skin barrier.
• Use twice daily for continuous hydration support.
• Suitable under makeup — gives a smooth base without heaviness.

What results can I expect and how quickly?

Most users notice immediate softness and comfort after the first application, with improved barrier resilience and prolonged hydration developing over days of consistent use. Consumer testing reported a high percentage of participants feeling their skin protected in challenging conditions. Individual results vary based on skin type and environmental factors.

• Immediate sensation of hydration and reduced tightness.
• Smoother surface texture and more comfortable skin within days.
• Perceived protection in cold or dry environments reported by testers.
• Continued use supports stronger moisture retention over time.
