Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72H Hydrator — 4.2 oz rich cream-gel, lipid-replenishing hydration & calming cica

Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator is a rich cream-gel moisturizer that delivers up to 72 hours of replenishing hydration while strengthening the skin’s barrier.

This concentrated moisturizer combines activated aloe water, caffeine, and a trio of replenishing lipids to revive dry or dehydrated skin. The formula sinks in without heavy residue, helps maintain moisture levels, and includes cica to calm stressed skin. Fragrance-free, allergy tested, and dermatologist-tested, it is designed to lock in hydration and leave skin feeling plump and silky.

How does this hydrator keep skin moisturized for 72 hours?

Instead of relying solely on surface hydration, the product uses activated aloe water and caffeine to encourage the skin’s own water cycle, while a blend of lipids helps seal moisture into the barrier. The combined approach supports lasting hydration between applications.

• Activated aloe water helps convey moisture into skin layers.
• Caffeine assists the skin’s auto-replenishing processes.
• Three lipids form a sealing layer to reduce water loss.
• Non-greasy cream-gel texture for comfortable wear day or night.

Will this suit dry or sensitive skin that needs soothing?

The formula targets dry and dehydrated skin with calming ingredients like cica and aloe-derived water, designed to reduce tightness and discomfort. Clinique’s fragrance-free approach and allergy testing further minimize irritation risk for sensitive types.

• Cica helps soothe and comfort irritated or parched skin.
• Fragrance-free to reduce irritation potential.
• Allergy tested and dermatologist-guided formulation.
• Rich but absorbent cream-gel finish avoids heavy residue.

How should I use this in my skincare routine for best results?

Apply after cleansing and any lightweight serums while skin is slightly damp to maximize absorption. Use morning and/or evening as needed; a little goes a long way thanks to the concentrated, lipid-rich texture.

• Smooth onto face and neck after toner or serum.
• Gently press to help absorption into damp skin.
• Layer sunscreen over it in daytime routines.
• Use nightly for added barrier repair during sleep.

Is it suitable for use under makeup or on very dry climates?

Its cream-gel consistency absorbs without leaving a heavy film, so it can be used before makeup when given time to set. The lipid support and moisture retention make it a solid choice for drier environments where skin needs longer-lasting protection.

• Lightweight finish works well under foundation when allowed to settle.
• Lipid reinforcement helps protect against dry indoor air and cold climates.
• Non-acnegenic formula minimizes risk of pore congestion.
• Use as an intensive treatment when traveling or in harsh weather.

Who is this for: Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator is intended for people with dry to dehydrated skin who want a dermatologist-guided, fragrance-free moisturizer that both soothes and strengthens the skin barrier. It’s a good pick if you need a richer, long-wearing cream-gel that layers well in skincare routines and offers sustained moisture without a heavy, greasy feel.
