Clinique Moisture Surge™ 72-Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator (Review)

While I was in Canada, my skin was going crazy because it was so dry and since Clinique was having a 25% offer, I thought, why not?

What It Is
"Our addictively refreshing gel-cream is now enhanced to give your skin the power to rehydrate itself. Delivers a 152% instant moisture boost. Keeps skin almost twice as hydrated at the end of the day than it did before. Enjoy 72 hours of non-stop hydration, even after washing your face." - Clinique.ca

It claims to be perfect for all skin types and there are 2 ways that you can use it. First as a moisturiser, and the second as a 5 minute mask. I have yet to try it as a mask because I have so many other masks to use but it works wonders as a moisturiser.

It has a whipped gel texture, similar to that of their Intense Hydrator but that aside, it claims to provide moisture for 72 hours, even after washing your face! Not sure if that is exactly true but I must admit, after I started using this, I realised that I started having lesser dry patches on my face. Of course, it might be because I moisturise twice. I layered this on top of their Moisturising Gel and my skin has been feeling so hydrated. Layering this on top of the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence works well too!

Previously, I did try moisturising twice however, maybe it was because my moisturisers weren't as hydrating (???), I still saw many dry patches on my face. And when I put foundation or BB cream on top of my skin, man... it looked so bad. I think I mentioned in the last post but I have dehydrated skin. So, this didn't cause my skin to product any more oil but at the same time, kept the top layer of my skin super hydrated and moisturised so I'm super happy with this buy. Definitely recommend everyone to get this (:

In fact, this item was sold out during the 25% promotion offer! After trying it, I was raving to my friend about this product and they wanted me to help them get it but it was totally sold out ):

Apparently, you can layer this on top of your makeup as well but I have yet to try it... I honestly can't imagine how to put this on top of your makeup without smudging everything out. But I might be wrong. If you've tried it, please do tell me if it works! (:

If you guys have any products that you would like me to try, do drop me a comment down below (:
