Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ 1.7 fl oz — Hydrating face moisturizer, strengthens moisture barrier

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ is a fast-absorbing, dermatologist-developed daily face moisturizer that restores oil–water balance and strengthens the skin’s moisture barrier.

Formulated as Step 3 of Clinique’s iconic 3-Step routine, this lightweight lotion is designed for very dry to dry combination skin. The formula combines glycerin and urea with natural moisturizing factors to draw in and lock moisture, delivering hours of soothing hydration while absorbing quickly into skin. Clinique reports clinical testing that shows this lotion can strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier by 21% within two hours, and it is allergy tested, 100% fragrance-free, and dermatologist tested.

How quickly will my skin feel more hydrated?

Visible changes in skin hydration begin within hours; clinical testing showed a measurable improvement in moisture barrier strength after two hours. Users typically notice softer, smoother skin within the first day of regular use as the lotion replenishes both oil and water components.

• Clinically measured 21% increase in barrier strength after two hours (study on 21 women)
• Provides up to 8 hours of hydration per application
• Silky texture absorbs rapidly without a heavy residue

What key ingredients support moisturization?

The lotion relies on proven humectants and natural moisturizing factors to bind and retain water in the skin. Glycerin pulls moisture into the skin while urea supports hydration and helps the lotion spread smoothly for even coverage.

• Pure glycerin: attracts and holds moisture
• Pure urea: supports skin hydration and texture
• Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs): help lock water into the outer skin layer

How does this fit into a simple daily skincare routine?

Clinique’s 3-Step system keeps your ritual short and consistent: cleanse, exfoliate, then moisturize with this lotion as Step 3. Applied morning and night after cleansing (and after any serums), the lotion helps maintain a healthier moisture balance and preps skin for makeup or sunscreen.

• Step 1: Cleanse to remove impurities
• Step 2: Exfoliate to clear dead skin cells
• Step 3: Apply Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ for lasting hydration

Is this suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

The formula is 100% fragrance-free, allergy tested, and dermatologist tested, which reduces the risk of irritation for many users. Still, if you have a known sensitivity, patch testing a small area before regular use is recommended.

• Fragrance-free and allergy tested
• Dermatologist tested and developed
• Recommended patch test for those with specific ingredient sensitivities

Who is this for: Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ is intended for people with very dry to dry combination skin seeking a lightweight, clinically backed daily moisturizer. It’s well suited to anyone following a simple skincare routine who wants fast-absorbing hydration, strengthened moisture barrier support, and a fragrance-free, dermatologist-developed formula.
