My Personal Reviews On Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief

I am loving this product more and more. Clinique Moisture Surge is absolutely a MUST moisturiser for thirsty skin. I love its water based gel and it absorbed quickly into my skin, leaving no trace of oiliness. You can really SEE and FEEL the difference with the help of this lovely moisturiser. I have oily and sensitive skin hence I am quite particular on the products I used. Clinique Moisture Surge is definitely gentle on my skin and it replenished the water that are needed for my skin and best of all it does not causes any breakouts to my face. I applied this moisturiser daily and night. Sometimes, I also use it as a light make up base as well.

If you have been facing problems of getting a suitable moisturiser, you may give a try to Clinique Moisture Surge. It seems to be a relief for sensitive skin. Oh ya, before you try this product, test the product on the back of your hand first to see if there are any allergies. :)

Verdict: Non Oily, Absorbed fast, Light and gentle. Suitable for oily and sensitive skin.
