CLINIQUE - MOISTURE SURGE 100 H - HYDRATION - 75ML
A lightweight gel moisturiser that focuses on hydration without making the skin feel heavy or oily
Works well for:
- Skin that feels dehydrated or tight
- Oily and combination skin
- Daytime hydration
- Wearing under sunscreen or makeup
Might not be enough if:
- Your skin is very dry and needs richer creams
- You're focusing on barrier repair only

What It's Like to Use
This is the kind of moisturiser you reach for when you want hydration but don't want your skin to feel coated. It has a gel texture that spreads easily and settles in quickly.
