Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator, 1 oz — Aloe Water + Cica for Very Dry Skin

Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator is a rich cream-gel moisturizer that delivers an immediate boost of hydration and helps lock in moisture for up to 72 hours while soothing dry skin.

This concentrated face moisturizer combines activated aloe water, cica, and a trio of lipids to restore and support the skin’s moisture barrier. Formulated for very dry to dry combination skin, it provides a comforting, velvety finish without fragrance. Clinique evaluated the formula in extreme cold conditions and consumers reported strong hydration and protection right after use.

How does this moisturizer hydrate for 72 hours?

The formula starts by delivering fast hydration with activated aloe water and humectant ingredients that attract moisture into the skin. A blend of lipids then helps seal that hydration into the skin’s barrier, reducing moisture loss over multiple days. This two-step action—rapid uptake followed by sustained barrier support—helps maintain plumpness and smoothness between applications.

• Activated aloe water provides immediate skin hydration.
• Humectants draw moisture into the skin layers quickly.
• Three replenishing lipids reinforce the skin barrier to reduce evaporation.
• Designed to maintain hydration for up to 72 hours after application.

Will this soothe dry or irritated areas without causing irritation?

Clinique added cica to the blend specifically to comfort and calm dry, delicate skin. The cream-gel texture is rich enough to deliver relief yet formulated to be allergy tested and 100% fragrance free to minimize irritation risk. The product is dermatologist tested and suitable for skin that needs both calming and replenishment.

• Cica helps soothe and reduce the feeling of tightness.
• Fragrance-free formula lowers the chance of sensitization.
• Allergy tested and dermatologist evaluated for safety.
• Cream-gel texture balances richness with a lightweight finish.

How should I use Clinique Moisture Surge Intense in my routine?

Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin morning and night or wherever you need extra moisture. Gently smooth over face and neck until absorbed; it can be layered under sunscreen or makeup. For very dry patches, use a slightly thicker layer or apply after a hydrating serum for added reinforcement.

• Use on cleansed face and neck morning and evening.
• Layer over serums or under SPF and makeup.
• Apply a thicker layer on particularly dry areas or overnight.
• Suitable for spot treatment on rough or dehydrated patches.

Does this product work in extreme weather or cold climates?

The formulation was tested in harsh winter conditions and users reported an immediate sense of protection and long-lasting hydration. The combination of hydrating actives and barrier-reinforcing lipids helps reduce moisture loss caused by cold, wind, and indoor heating. While individual results vary, consumer testing indicated strong performance after a single application.

• Tested in extreme cold conditions with positive consumer feedback.
• Lipids strengthen the skin against environmental moisture loss.
• Provides a comforting, protective feel in dry climates.
• Works alongside other protective products (e.g., SPF) for full weather defense.

Who is this for: Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator is designed for people with very dry to dry combination skin who need deep, lasting moisture and barrier support. It’s a good choice if you want a fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested option that soothes tightness and helps skin look plump and velvety. Consider it when you experience seasonal dryness, cold-weather discomfort, or persistent dehydrated patches that benefit from intensive, multi-day hydration.
