I am always willing to try out a new product when it lands on my desk, or *accidentally* winds up in my shopping cart when I repurchase my shampoo. So it's pretty rare to find me sticking to the same skincare routine for longer than a couple of months at a time.
Personally, I like to keep my serums more active and my moisturiser as a hydrating barrier cream to seal in all of the serum ingredients - you know, nothing too fancy and unnecessary. Which brings me to the moisturiser I keep repurchasing over and over:
Clinique's Moisture Surge Intense.

Tell Me More:
I know what you guys are thinking, but no, Clinique isn't a just a mum brand or a teen brand (a total misconception in my humble opinion). Take it from me, I've got hundreds of
moisturisers to choose from, yet
Moisture Surge Intense is the one I reach for time and time again.
As a makeup artist, the thing I love most about this moisturiser is that it works really well under makeup to prep the skin for foundation application.
It has a gel-like cream formula that absorbs quickly into the skin
Leaves the skin ultra hydrated, and can be used as a lightweight overnight mask
Protects against dryness caused by crazy weather changes and constant air conditioning
It's water-based to suit all skin types, yet feels emollient, nourishing & non-congesting
It contains ingredients like Caffeine, Hyaluronic Acid & Squalane to moisturise & revitalise
Leaves the skin feeling refreshed, plump & comforted (with no fragrance)

Is Moisture Surge or Moisture Surge Intense Right For Me?
If you've already tried the Clinique's classic best-selling
Moisture Surge, you might be wondering what's different about the Intense formula.
Both variations of
Moisture Surge will deliver loads of hydration to the deeper layers of your skin, target fine lines caused by dehydration, and rid your skin of that tight, uncomfortable feeling. Though, if you’re feeling the aftermath of the winter months, experiencing textured dryness, barrier damage and flakiness (or you just want that
extra glow), the
Moisture Surge Intense is your girl!

What Does Everyone Else Like About It?

The best night cream I've ever used.
My skin gets desert dry in the wintertime and this is the only product that has been able to save it from cracking and redness. I've bought this product several times over and will be devastated if it's ever discontinued. The packaging is simple and easy to open. The product soaks in quickly and doesn't feel heavy or greasy or skin. A little goes a...
