Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel

My major skin concern is the oil mine in my T-zone area. It's so oily that I have to pat it with oil absorbing film for 2-3 times daily. That is why I try to keep my make-up to a minimum and favor oil-free moisturizers as well as mattifiers. I am a fan of simple cosmetic lines for my daily regime. I am not really the type who sticks to one particular skin care brand to address my skin concerns. Instead, I alter my beauty regime depending on the type of weather and my current skin needs. Knowing that we have such humid type of climate in our country where we simply has to sit for an hour to accumulate disgusting oil into one's face, summer season seems to be a daunting type of weather for my skin type. That is why I am thankful to Clinique Dermatologists for formulating their 3-step-skin-care. One of which includes my favorite moisturizer - the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel.

Clinique Goodies

I bought my Clinique-DDMG at Rustan's Gateway in Araneta Center, Quezon City. The kind counter attendant even gave me a free sample of Clinique's Turnaround Concentrate Extra for my to try.

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel in tube.

Clinically formulated. Allergy Tested. 100% Fragrance Free.

Price: I bough my Clinique-DDMG 50ml Tube for Php1,350.00. The pump bottle costs more or less than Php2,000.00.

Hits:

• I love how it controls oil in my T-zone while lightly moisturizing dry areas like my cheeks and neck.
• For me, it is simply the best moisturizer under day make-up. 
• It does not leave a white cast when skin is photographed with flash.
• I use this everyday when i'm at home to keep my skin refreshed and moisturized without the heavy feel.
• It does not trigger any breakouts in my skin.

Miss: 

• The price is expensive compare to the majority of plain facial creams. But a tube usually lasts for half a year or more. 'Bawi naman." :)
• It does not contain any sun protection factor (SPF).

As for me, once I finished my first tube, I am definitely re-purchasing the pump. I just love this product. But mind you, this is the only Clinique product that I use from their 3-step-skin care. I have another brand of make-up remover, facial wash, cleanser, toner and eye cream.
