Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel Oil-Free Face Moisturizer, 1.7 fl oz — Lightweight, Non-Greasy Hydration

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel is an oil-free, fast-absorbing daily gel moisturizer designed to hydrate and balance combination to oily skin without leaving a greasy finish. Clinique’s dermatologist-developed gel is Step 3 in the brand’s classic 3-Step routine and its best-selling oil-free moisturizer for combination oily to oily skin types. The lightweight formula delivers up to eight hours of oil-free hydration, supports the skin’s moisture barrier within hours, and uses natural moisturizing factors plus hyaluronic acid and botanical extracts to help skin feel balanced and comfortable throughout the day.

How quickly will I feel hydration and a difference in my skin?

Because the gel texture spreads easily and absorbs rapidly, you should notice immediate skin comfort and reduced surface oiliness. Clinical testing shows measurable barrier improvement within two hours, which helps skin retain moisture better over time.

• Absorbs quickly — no sticky residue.
• Provides up to eight hours of oil-free hydration.
• Barrier-strengthening effect within two hours.*

What ingredients deliver the moisturizing benefits?

The formula combines scientifically chosen humectants and botanical extracts to hydrate without heaviness. Natural moisturizing factors (NMFs) and hyaluronic acid pull in and lock hydration while sunflower seed cake, barley extract, and cucumber fruit extract soothe and support balanced skin.

• Hyaluronic acid: attracts and holds moisture.
• NMFs: help bind water to skin cells for sustained hydration.
• Botanical blend: calming and supportive for oily-prone skin.

Will this moisturizer cause breakouts or feel greasy on oily areas?

This gel is formulated to be non-acnegenic and oil-free, making it suitable for pores-prone and combination oily skin. Its lightweight, water-gel texture hydrates without adding surface oil, so it helps balance skin without clogging pores.

• Non-acnegenic and allergy tested.
• 100% fragrance-free to minimize irritation risk.
• Designed for Combination Oily to Oily skin types.

How does this fit into my daily routine?

Use it as the final step of Clinique’s 3-Step system: cleanse, exfoliate/clarify, then moisturize. Apply morning and night to face and neck after toner/essence; its fast-absorbing texture layers well under sunscreen or makeup.

• Step 3 in the dermatologist-developed 3-Step routine.
• Apply twice daily — morning and evening.
• Works smoothly under sunscreen and makeup.

Who is this for? This moisturizing gel is best suited to people with combination to oily skin who want lightweight, non-greasy hydration that helps restore the skin’s oil-water balance. It’s a practical choice for anyone seeking a proven, fragrance-free formula from a dermatologist-developed brand, especially if you prefer fast-absorbing textures that layer easily with sunscreen and makeup. If you have very dry skin, you may prefer a richer cream; if you’re pore-prone or prefer oil-free products, this gel is formulated specifically for those needs. *Clinical testing on 21 women measured moisture barrier improvement at two hours.
