Clinique Moisture Surge 72-Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator

As the winter months progress and outside continues to be cold and dry, my skin looses its moisture fast. Especially being in Southern California, I have struggled trying to keep my skin hydrated without becoming oily. I have tried some moisturizers and masks over the past two years and none seemed to give me the exact results I wanted. Moisturized skin that is smooth and hydrated at the touch without being oily, sticky, or feel gross. And of course, not cause any additional breakouts or irritation. And alas, I have found the perfect moisture surge!!

I saw that Clinique had a new 72 hour moisture surge cream and I was curious to give it a try. I have previously used Clinique products and have had good results while in the South. However, as I can be with all new beauty products, it is hard to pull the trigger to purchase a moisturizer or cream that could end up being a waste of money. When I found a 1/2 oz bottle for only $12 it was the perfect way to try the product, so I did. I have been using the cream for 2 weeks now and can already tell a difference. My skin is baby soft and does not get extra oily. I typically put it on twice a day during the winter months for extra hydration. Once during the morning, leaving about 10 min to dry and soak in before applying make up, and once at night before bed after I have washed my face. I seriously cannot imagine my skin without it now.
