Holy Grail | Daily Moisturizer

I’m going to try to pick out my Holy Grail/forever products, whether it’s for skincare, makeup, hair, etc. Let’s get started.

I have oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin and this is one of the products I always find myself going back to. Sometimes I wonder, why do I stray from the product that keeps my skin happiest? I’ve figured out it’s from boredom, to see if there’s anything else out there that’s better, only to be disappointed — I find myself crawling back to Clinique. Want proof? These are my praises and rave reviews on all things Clinique:

Brace yourself for another rave review…

Clinique Dramatically Different Gel is my first official holy grail face product. I never use the term “holy grail,” but now that I’m using it, you know I mean it! This moisturizing gel is something I’ve been using for years (possibly 10+ years.) Let’s just call this the base moisturizer that I go back to — let me explain.

My skin has had its ups and downs due to acne, oil, and sensitivity, but through and through, my skin has always enjoyed Clinique moisturizers. I may have had to switch up the type of moisturizer, but it’s always from this trusted brand. For instance, there was a time in my life where I actually had extremely dry skin, which was a nice change, but I had to switch from gel to a thicker, more intense lotion (Moisture Surge (Fall/Winter) and then Moisture Surge Intense (Winter + unbearable Dry skin))

The DDG is great for oily skin because it is oil-free. The texture is light and once applied, sinks into the skin. It visibly leaves the skin looking noticeably smooth and clear. The moment I knew I should continue its use… forever… was when I went back to Clinique after finishing up a different moisturizer where on two separate occasions on the same day, two family members asked me what I had done differently to my skin because it just looked so good!

Hands down, my favorite skincare brand — Have I convinced you to try Clinique?
