Hi hi~ I wanna share with you guys about my lovely moisturizer, CLINIQUE DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT MOISTURIZING GEL. This is the 4th step of my daily skin care routine.
What is this?
This is a moisturizer designed for oily face, therefore the consistency is gel-ish type. Meanwhile, Clinique has another one for dry skin type, which is Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+, and it is more lotion type rather than the gel one (YOU DON’T SAY, CIN). Anyway, this is a part of the 3-step regimen (cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize) and this is the 3rd step, which the steps is highly recommended by Clinique for us to do for daily routines. And FYI, these 2 moisturizers are pretty much popular, so those ones are best sellers among the other moisturizers from Clinique.
I do love using this as my moisturizer, from the first touch!
First, I don’t need much of it to moisturize my skin, just 1 to 1.5 pumps and that’s enough for my face and neck. I’ve been using it for almost 10 months, and look! I still have some left for a couple months ahead. Even though this moisturizer is quite pricey, but it’s worth the money if you can use it for a whole year, right?
Second, it really was dramatically changed my skin condition when I used it for the first time! No, I don’t exaggerate it but it really does. My skin texture feels better than before, and I feel moisturized at the same time. Before I use this product, I moisturized my skin with a whole-body-lotion-type, because I wasn’t aware and knew nothing about skincare especially for face. I chose things that are safe for baby (perfume free, color free, and etc etc free) cos that means that the products are safe too for my skin (my skin condition was acne-prone skin). The lotion didn’t affect anything to my acne (not improve it nor worsen it) it just moisturized my skin and that’s all, but that’s okay cos I didn’t expect anything from that lotion. But the thing is, my skin had a really bad condition (the acne, texture, acne scar, etc) so I need to change my skincare. I tried this from the recommendation of many many many people on the internet and it really improved my skin. So I’m still using it until now :)
Will I purchase this moisturizer again when I finish the first bottle? Absolutely YES! Even though that means I have to save my money from now on ehe ehe

Hi, guys! I’m gonna introduce you to one of my addiction and savior at the same time.
TA-DAAAAA.
This is CLINIQUE Super City Block (Broad Spectrum 40 SPF).
This thing contains 40 SPF which is good and will protect your skin perfectly from the bad UV (I hope UV A and B at the same time, cos some sources wrote that SPF’s only protects us from UV B and PA+++ protects us from UV A. UV A can cause aging to our skin bcos it will breaks collagen and damages the pigment balance, while the UV B can cause skin burn. Sadly, the “PA+++” isn’t exist both on the packaging and its box, but the other sunblocks from Clinique clearly stated about the SPF and PA+++ on the packaging. So I concluded that this sunblock doesn’t contain PA++). Also, this daily protector is oil free and you could use it as a primer before you put your make up on.
I love using this product as my 5th daily skin care routine. It protects my skin and makes my skin looks more even in color. It does conceal some of my dark areas, both dark spots and skin burn areas (but don’t expect that it will conceal perfectly cos it’s not made for that). I found out that my powder stick more perfectly unto my face when I’m using this product, so this sunblock helps to stick the powder unto your skin better than not using anything. So I’m considering this product as a primer, and you don’t have to use another primer products afterwards. Although after you applied it on your skin it will really makes your skin looks like wearing a thick make up, but don’t worry, all you need to do is just wait until it set and your true skin color will be appeared.
I’ve been using this product for several months and it does really showing some progress. Like, I’m using this to avoid dark spots darkening caused by the UV and it does help me to reduce the darkening process, and it showed too to my skin as a whole, that it really brighten day by day. It might not brighten my skin, but this thing is protecting my skin while the brightening process (by the brightening serum and brightening face mask) is working under my skin.
So I recommend this sunblock as your daily protector ;) I hope it will help you on deciding whether you should try this product or not.

PS: I currently still have some of this (the 25spf and 40spf) but decided to kick out this product from my daily routine since months ago. Why? Because every time I use this stuff, my face looks darker than usual (not permanently darken, only when I put it on).
