If you are seeking a light, refreshing, smooth, oil free, moisturizer, look no further. Clinique Moisture Surge Treatment Formula is for all skin types. It quickly increases your skin's moisture levels while it softens, calms, cools and rejuvenates your complexion.

Clinique Moisture Surge Treatment Formula has a smooth gel like texture with a soft pink tint. It is advertised as 100% fragrance free but it has a distinct mild fragrance when you sniff the jar. However, the fragrance isn’t noticeable when you apply the product to your face. It is sold in an attractive 2 oz. pink jar with a chrome lid.

My dermatologist, after looking at my skin, sent me to Clinique in search of an oil free moisturizer. That is when a cosmetologist, at the Clinique counter in a local department store, introduced me to Clinique Moisture Surge Treatment. Before I was going to invest in a $30 dollar moisturizer, I had to test it. She applied it to the back of my hand. WOW! My skin immediately took on a soft satiny feel and looked plump and regenerated almost like baby skin. It layed smooth (without residue), and didn’t produce an oily glow like most extreme moisturizers. My skin even felt softer to touch.

The Product Claims:
• Skin appears firmer, has better texture and a refreshing glow
• Provides long-lasting comfort
• Non-clogging; comfortable even for oily skins
• Adds and holds moisture for up to ten hours

It holds true to every word too. I haven’t had a problem with my skin since I have been using this product. I’m not too shiny or dry. It doesn’t clog my pores and leave little annoying blackheads, It doesn’t sting or burn and I only have to apply it once a day.

How to Use:
I prefer to apply it before my makeup. Clinique suggests that you use this product after using their "3 step plan" (Clinique Soap, Toner & Moisturizing lotion), either prior to applying makeup, or as a five minute wash off mask. I find the ׁ step plan” a waste of money. It hasn’t worked for me and I have given it plenty of chances. I just wash my face with Dove soap as my dermatologist suggested and use Clinique’s clarifying lotion 2 (an exfoliating toner). With Moisture Surge I don’t need any other lotions or cremes. Moisture Surge goes a long way. You only need to use an amount the size of a dime. That’s it! It should last you a while. Since it lasts, well, practically forever, it is truly worth it.

Priced at $30, this product can be purchased either at a Clinique counter or through Clinique's website (www.clinique.com).

For those who feel $30 is too much to spend, I still say, give Moisture Surge a try. With Clinique’s exceptional money back guarantee (remember to keep the box in case you decide to return it) – there is nothing to lose. You’ll love it, I promise.
