"The Clinique Dramatically Different moisturizer is something my wife used for a long time before becoming a Remedy user, and her sister still uses it too. It has a buttery finish but it's a lighter weight lotion, the yellow bottle many will recognize. It's really just a consistently good moisturizer for normal skin."

"The Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion came in a clear bottle. I always thought my skin was dry and it would always be flaky and I'd put this on and then it would be flaky and oily. So it wasn't really a moisturizer I liked. I probably used it for a year solid, not quite realizing that just putting oily moisturizer on your skin isn't enough sometimes. I had issues with dryness, so I'd apply this moisturizer and for me it didn't work. It would make my skin feel moisturized, but then still flaky and red and itchy. I'm not really recommending it per se. I'm sure there's some people that it works for, but that was a good year, year and a half of using that where I just couldn't figure out why my skin was always still looking red and flaky."

"It's basically probably my first moisturizer I ever used and the only one really I used up until I started getting into skincare. It was affordable and fragrance-free, although to be honest I don't think it was really made for my skin type. It always felt kind of greasy and shiny. It seems to work well for a lot of people, but for me I guess it was good enough to get me into skincare."

Dermatologist skincare picks for Chinese New Year | Dr. Jenny Liu

"Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion is one to gift. Clinique is such a wonderful brand, and I also feel like it's very popular amongst Asian women. This moisturizer itself is just lovely. It's really their iconic moisturizer for a reason: it's hydrating yet nourishing at the same time, not heavy or greasy, and has wonderful ingredients. Plus, Clinique actually has a Chinese New Year limited edition that comes in this beautifully red bottle with Dragon details, so if you gift this to Mom or Auntie it's definitely going to earn you more Red Envelope points in the future."
