5 Things I love about Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion
1. Basic và Simple
A few weeks ago, I was at Cutis Medical laze Clinics lớn receive a skin-firming Radio-Frequency (RF) treatment. After cleansing, the aesthetician noticed how dry and irritated my skin was. I believe this was due to lớn some exfoliating products that I was using then.
After a brief consultation with Dr Sylvia, I was advised lớn postpone the RF treatment for a week. During this period, I should use only basic moisturizer to lớn allow my skin to lớn recover.
When I got home, I dug through my “stockpile” of skincare products and reluctantly picked Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. This was the only lotion I had that seemed khổng lồ make the cut as a basic hydrating lotion as it contains no alcohol và fragrance and has been allergy-tested.
Now that I’ve used DDML for a while, I can attest lớn its gentle và hydrating formula which comforted my dry and irritated skin và healed it. In the ingredient list below, you can see that this Clinique yellow lotion contains moisturising ingredients such as Glycerin, Urea and Hyaluronic Acid.
Ingredients: WaterAquaEau , Mineral OilParaffinum LiquidumHuile Minérale , Glycerin , Petrolatum , Stearic Acid , Glyceryl Stearate , Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Oil , Urea , Lanolin Alcohol , Triethanolamine , Hordeum Vulgare (Barley) ExtractExtrait D’Orge , Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract , Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seedcake , Propylene Glycol Dicaprate , Sodium Hyaluronate , Butylene Glycol , Pentylene Glycol , Trisodium Edta , Phenoxyethanol , Yellow 6 (Ci 15985) , Yellow 5 (Ci 19140) , Red 33 (Ci 17200)
2. Very Nourishing
As the RF treatment was postponed by only a week, my irritated skin had only 7 days khổng lồ recover. Thankfully, it did after using Clinique DDML on a twice-daily basis. When I visited Cutis Medical laze Clinics a week later, the aesthetician was surprised khổng lồ see that my skin had fully recovered.
So, how did my skin recover so quickly?
According khổng lồ Clinique, ingredients such as Sunflower Seed Cake, Barley Extract và Cucumber Fruit Extract are effective in strengthening skin’s barrier. This in turn improves skin’s resiliency & helps it to lớn retain moisture.
In addition, DDML contains Hyaluronic Acid which helps draws moisture lớn the skin lượt thích a magnet. Urea is also known khổng lồ help skin retain water và allow dead skin cells to lớn fall off.
Therefore, within just a few days of usage, my flaky skin patches started rolling off gradually khổng lồ reveal healthier skin. Perfect!

3. Comfortable After-feel
Although Clinique Lotion+ felt overly-rich on my 20-something skin decades ago, my 40+ skin is loving its medium-rich consistency.

Even though I use a very generous amount, the lotion gets absorbed quickly leaving a layer of film just enough to lớn assure me that my skin is protected. Best of all, the moisture barrier stayed on the skin for hours. Therefore, the 8-hour hydration claim is true in my experience!
4. No Pimples
I’m very sure this yellow lotion is safe lớn use on my pimple-prone skin. No pimples at all during usage!
5. Large Bottle for a Good Price
The bottle that I bought has 125ml of lotion, which is more than double the quantity of many lotions out there in the market. Despite its’ generous quantity, Clinique DDML costs only USD28 (view latest price). This is considered low for a counter-based beauty brand.
If 125ml is not big enough, you can also get the 200ml bottle that comes at an even cheaper per unit price.
6. Well-Designed Packaging
I lượt thích the lightweight bottle that is easy lớn grasp even with my small hand. It’s also great that the right amount comes out with each pump, releasing enough quantity to lớn cover my face and neck.
What’s not lớn love about Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion?
1. Not a pleasant smell
I don’t want khổng lồ be rude. But the smell isn’t that great & may even be repulsive to some. I thought Clinique DDML smells like medicine or a chemical with a pungent smell.
Well, of course it would since Clinique DDML contains urea. As we know, synthetic urea is created from ammonia và carbon dioxide. That’s probably where the pungent smell comes from. But at least, we know Clinique is adamant in avoiding fragrance at all cost.
Recommendation
I highly recommend Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ (DDML) khổng lồ those who are struggling with dry, flaky & irritable skin.
Put up with the smell & you’ll be rewarded with a healthy và well-moisturized skin in no time. This is something I need to have in my beauty arsenal & it’s officially entering my Holy Grail list. Rating: 5/5
