Clinique's Moisture Surge is just a classic gel cream moisturizer, and it's a classic for a reason. It's lightweight. It's very hydrating. It layers beautifully under makeup, and it works for a lot of people who just don't need richness.

They've got the Clinique Moisture Surge, the current version. I think they're on, well, since I've been doing skin care, I think this might be the fourth incarnation of it with some slight changes.

Why we only pair takes from the same month

A formula gets reworked, a price moves, and a product people loved in one year is not the product they are handed in the next. Two takes far apart in time can look like a disagreement when they are really a description of a product that changed. So a face-off only pairs experts whose videos went up within a month of each other, and neither take here is sponsored.
