This moisturizer – made for combination oily or very oily skin is light, very soft and discreetly scented. I chose this over the lotion version because apparently the mineral oil in the lotion formula clogs pores.
This product is really popular as step #3 in Clinique’s 3-Step Skin Care system that many people rave about. I am using the liquid soap and toner and I love them both. This time, I decided to add this product to my regimen to see if it is what it claims to be.
I’ve been using it for a few days in the morning and so far, I don’t like it. It feels nice against my skin during application, but after about 15-20 minutes, my skin felt dry – even my oily t-zone areas.
Personally, I prefer moisturizers to be creamy rather than watery and the moisturizing gel didin’t leave that moisturizing feeling on my face. Maybe my skin is not combination oily after all but more on the dry side? However, if you’re someone who has very oily skin, I would recommend this along with the liquid soap and the toner as a complete 3-step system.
I’ll try this product again in the summer when it gets warmer because my skin tends to get more oily in the summer months.

Have you tried this moisturizer? How did you like it?
I hate it. I tried a sample from Sephora too, and found exactly the same thing — drying!!!!
I’m testing out DDF now. Murad was nice, but I think DDF’s gel (the one without SPF) might be the right one for me.. although it could stand to be a bit more moisturizing.
I’ll keep that in mind! DDF is at sephora too, right?
I’m posting my review for murad tomorrow :) I’m on Lush’s imperialis now… which I really like! you should try it too!
