I've been using clinique's dramatically different moisturizing gel for almost two years now and I've realized that it hasn't been making my skin look exceptional as it used to. This is probably because my skin is starting to get used to the moisturizer... with that being said anyone know of a comparable moisturizer to clinique's that is great for oily/acne prone skin?
Hi Denise! I know what you mean, Im having the same problem with my skin. I am looking into Clean and Clear Mattifying moisturizer SPF 15. It may not be the same texture as the gel, but it l loved it when I last used it. It keeps down the shine and has SPF. Btw, there is a moisturizer called Garnier Moisture Rescue Gel Cream which is a lot like the one you are already using. But DONT get it. It has Alcohol Denat in the first three ingredients. This will make your skin even worse :/ So try the other stuff (find it on amazon) if you dont like it, not a big waste of money :) hope this helped!
thanks for the tips! I've been doing a lot of research and I really need to re-do my whole skin care routine... so far I've found that philosophy skincare products work well with oily skin, and I am thinking about purchasing the hope-oil free moisturizer with spf 30 for my day moisturizer and the breath of fresh air moisturizer as my night cream. Luckily the nordstrom anniversary sale starts tomorrow lol, but i will let you know how these two work for me!
I use Mark. Matte Chance Mattifying Lotion.
It's a great moisturizer. I have oily/combination acne prone skin.
I heard another rep say it was comparable to Cliniques Dramatically different.
It's a lightweight cream, it's oil free and non comodogenic.
I haven't broken out and it mattifies my skin all day long and helps my makeup apply better.
So I'm really in love with it and it's definitely the only moisturizer that has worked for me.
