Clinique Moisture Surge 100h Auto-replenishing Hydrator (Moisturizer)
A lightweight gel moisturiser that focuses on hydration without making the skin feel heavy or oily

- Skin that feels dehydrated or tight
- Oily and combination skin
- Daytime hydration
- Wearing under sunscreen or makeup
Might not be enough if:
- Your skin is very dry and needs richer creams
- You're focusing on barrier repair only

What It's Like to Use

Ingredients
Key Ingredients: - Aloe Bioferment + HA Complex: Combines two hydrating ingredients into one powerhouse complex to help attract moisture and retain it. - Aloe Bioferment: Clinique scientists transformed the aloe vera plant through an exclusive fermentation process. One of the benefits of fermentation is that it breaks apart larger molecules into smaller ones, making them more easily absorbed into skin. Made with lactobacillus, activated aloe water, and responsibly sourced and certified organic aloe extract powder, this nutrient-rich ingredient helps skin retain moisture. - Hyaluronic acid: This moisture-binding ingredient helps create a “moisture reservoir” for ideal hydration. The formula is expertly blended with two different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid. Other key ingredients include: - Activated aloe water: Pure water is infused with aloe barbadensis leaf extract, then supercharged to hold both positive and negative ionic charges. - Auto-Replenishing Technology: Using activated aloe water and caffeine, it helps trigger skin’s own rehydration system. - Blend of vitamins C and E: Helps provide antioxidant protection against daily dehydrators.
