ok i need to talk about this moisturizer because im clearly not over it till date
anyone else been loyal to this moisture surge for years? and has anyone actually found a dupe worth switching for, because i keep hearing claims but didnt get one.
i still recall when my aunt was visiting from canada and introduced me this years ago. i was broke. like properly broke and buying choices based on whats left after rent broke. didnt expect to fall for a moisturizer of all things.
first mini tub and i just knew im getting into a trouble. that gel souffle texture sinks in like nothing else ive tried. i tend to massage it in properly at night not just dabbing it on and running off to sleep and waking up to skin that still feels plump the next morning. just all held well.
i have combination skin with these stubborn dry patches on my cheeks while my t zone does its own thing. most moisturizers make me pick a side, either my cheeks stay dry or my forehead turns into an oil slick by noon. this is the only one thats ever actually balanced both. also somehow makes my base sit better all day. not smoothing like a primer, just soft n supple.
doesnt crack on the dry patches, doesnt slide off by evening even under heavier makeup.
wont lie about the price. it hurt.
initial days genuinely sat in my cart deciding if i could afford it more times than id like to admit. over the years had tried cheaper dupes too. told myself id found close enough. i hadnt. so in my mature skin era i dont want fuss and so i always come back to this one.
saw someone post about a good discount on for clinique products on amazon on a sub day before yesterday and restocked it. new jar got delivered, already compared it to the old one, same texture, so if youre worried about authenticity ordering this online, i wasnt disappointed.
