i love this stuff.it is worth every penny!

Let me start off by saying that I have never purchased a full sized jar of this so I'm not sure about the price, but I believe it's around $40-50. I normally get a sample size when Clinique has a gift with purchase and it generally lasts me 3 or 4 months (using every day). My cheeks and nose are really dry so I only apply this product to these areas and it works wonders! Honestly, it is the only product I have found that will help relieve the dryness. I wouldn't recommend getting the full size if you only have a small problem area (unless you can afford it), because the sample jars will last a while.

Great lotion for your face! I was looking for a lotion that would be effective at moisturizing but not be too heavy or make me break out and I found it in this! Price is well worth it!

I got this product as a freebie...and well...I can say it's one of only two products I have received in my freebies that I will actually buy from now on!!! I used it over my Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion w/ Pump---and my skin stayed soft all day! My makeup even went on better with this product under it!!! I LOVE IT!!!

Moisture Surge may be a good product - I prefer to use it as a night creme - but the price is just a tad ridiculous. Unless your skin is literally dying of thirst or if you have rosacea, I cannot imagine paying that much for this product (I received this product for free after buying something else).

You can also use this product as a five minute mask, but wouldn't that mean you have to use more of the product to make a mask effect? Which would mean you'll run out of it faster? Not worth the price!

I find this moisturizing pretty average. It does moisturize my skin well when my skin is not acting up. When my skin is on the dry and flaky side, this takes a while to work. I prefer to use this during summer since it's light and fresh. I do love the gel and fresh consistency. The skin absorbs it really quickly and it doesn't leave you feeling like an oil slick. Also, this moisturizing doesn't break me out. Overall, i'd recommend this moisturizing if you have normal to oily skin that doesn't need a lot of tlc.

I absolutely LOVE this product and have been using it for a few years. I started during my last pregnancy when my skin all of a sudden got really dry - something I had never experienced before. This product was recommended to me and I have used it ever since. It does exactly what it promises and my face is soooo soft afterwards. I HIGHLY recommend this product but try to buy it when Clinique has a Bonus Event on and make it really worth while!

What it is: Gel-like cream that holds in moisture all day long. Can be
worn under or over makeup.

Where to get it: clinique.com and clinique counters.

How much: $34 for 1.7 oz. -- $46.50 for 2.5 oz., I got mine as part of a
gift set (it was a birthday present, sample size).

What I like about it: it leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft and
smooth. Such a great alternative to primers and regular face
moisturizers. This didn't leave me oily at all.

What could be improved: I got mine as a gift, but in order to
repurchase, I'd have to shell out well over $30, which is a bit too high
for my blood.

Overall: really great product! If u ever get the chance to sample this,
get it as a gift, or if u can afford it, definitely give it a try!


-- EDIT 5/22/09 --
After a week straight of daily use, this product started to break me out. I dunno if it contains an ingredient that I'm sensitive to or if it was slowly clogging my pores. What I do know, is that I will not be continuing to use this product.

So with that, I've decided to mark it down one star, from 4 stars, now its down to 3 stars. It still feels really great on the skin that's why I don't want to discourage anyone from trying this out. My skin isn't identical to your skin so this may turn out to be an awesome product for you.

I have very dry skin and this moisure surge cream is one of the best by clinique. I don't have to use a lot because it goes a long way and makes my skin feel clean and remoisturized. It's kind of pricey but well worth the price

I have very dry skin and this is the best moisturizer I have found to date.It is a gel that cools your skin as soon as you apply it.Don't rub it in,just dab it on and feel your skin cool and soften.It is a bit pricey but it's worth every penny if you have dry skin like me.The only bad thing is you may have to reapply it.I wear this only during the day,at night I wear something longer lasting,and more greasy.Stop by a clinique counter and try it on.It is a hundred times better than the dramaticly different moisturing lotion.
