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.
