I haven't used Clinique in years, but I was looking for a new oil-free moisturizer to replace the very expensive one I'd been using.
During the Sephora sale, I ordered the small size of Clinique's dramatically different oil-free moisturizing gel to try it out, and I have to report that it's really great! Lightweight, absorbent... just what I was looking for. And a 4 oz. bottle is only $23 -- that's better than some drugstore moisturizers! (The one I had been using was $42 for 1.67 oz.)
I'm really happy about this find and just wanted to share.
And for those of you who live near a Bloomingdales, there's a great Clinique bonus tomorrow with a $25 purchase. Includes a lip gloss, mascara, blush, facial cleanser, and sunscreen in a cute little bag. I'm all over that tomorrow!

Thanks for the recommendation. The original DDML was awful for my skin. It made me break out even if I used it in my dry areas only. I was curious about the gel. Maybe I will try it in the future. By the way, I recently bought the brush on cream liner in deep brown and I *love* it. They also have it in a new dark green with shimmer. Just some suggestions if you don't know what to get with your GWP.

Thr Dramatically Different Gel is just fantastic. I never could use the original formula, but this is perfect for oily skins that still need some moisturizing. Glad you re=discovered Clinique. They have some marvelous products, IMO.

I too have rediscovered them, I think they have a lot of great new products. I just started using their acne line and I have to say I am impressed!! I was hesitant because when I looked at the ingredients it didn't seem that different to me than other things I had tried. But I have to say, with this acne line and using my new Clarisonic 2xday, my acne is SO much better!
I LOVE the foaming acne cleanser, it is really great to use with my Clarisonic. I also use a Neutrogena deep clean cleanser in the pm and then follow with the Clinique moisturizer, it is great. Very happy with the new mask I bought too.

I've always kept some soap mild and clarifying lotion on hand over the years. I can't seem to part ways with them. My problem was with the DDML, I had some breakout issues a couple of years ago. Recently I've switched to the antioxidant moisturizer and really like it. The reviews have been good, in
fact Paula reviewed it recently on her site. It's worth a read.

I love the DD Gel! I just rediscoverd Clinique myself and am hooked on the Total Turnaround Concentrate Visible Skin Renewer. I also love the Superdefense moisturuzer and Repairwear eye cream. Next I want to try the antioxident moisturizer they have. I've found that their stuff works really well with my Proactiv. I'm also head over heels for the new Superbalms. I've been hoarding them!

I use a lot of their products. My favorite is the Liquid Soap Mild - best cleanser I've ever used. I started using it about a year and a half ago - got a rash from Purity cleanser and happened to have a sample size of the Clinique. It cleared up the rash and I've been using it ever since. I use their Repairwear foundation in the Fall/Winter and Perfectly Real in the Spring/Summer. Their eye shadows are nice too. And I've used their bronzer the last two summers. They always have such great promotions/gifts with purchase - I wait to buy then. It's a great way to try new products too.

I continue to love good ole Clinique through the years - great makeup - esp eye and lip as well as several great moisturizers. I am a Philosophy girl but love Clinique's GWPs for their great travel size items.
