CLINIQUE Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+™ for Barrier Repair 4.2 oz Pump/ 125 mL

by CLINIQUE · skin_care

Editor's Take

Clinique keeps the barrier-repair promise, but the Mineral Oil and Petrolatum base feels decidedly old-school beside newer, cleaner moisturizers.

Four-pillar formula scores

  • Efficacy: 7.4 / 10
  • Modern Tech: 4.5 / 10
  • Clean Beauty: 2.8 / 10
  • Sustainability: 4.5 / 10

The Verdict

Efficacy is Strong: Petrolatum locks in moisture while Glycerin and Urea support dry to very dry skin. Clean is Weak, with a petroleum-heavy base, Triethanolamine, and unnecessary synthetic colorants. Technology is Conventional and sustainability is Mixed, so the dependable moisture retention comes with dated formulation choices. A credible barrier-sealing lotion, not a modern clean-beauty treatment.
