I have been looking for a good moisturiser (but not too expensive, ie. Lamer) for the longest time. I have scouted for samples from quite a lot of brands hoping to find one that will suit my dehydrated skin but do not feel too oily either. Imagine having a face plastered with oily and sticky moisturiser for the entire day in the office. Not good.
Then, I read a review by ParisB on this particular product - Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief gel cream. According to her, after just 1 application, she felt a "toing toing" feeling of smooth skin. And she also could not stop touching her face.
Luckily for me I have this gel cream sitting in my drawer untouched. I got this as a GWP when I purchased a facial scrub and turnaround concentrate serum a few months back. Imagine having this wonderful product but I did not use it. That's the problem of having so many samples ; )
Immediately, I started using it. First, I cleanse my face with my Paul & Joe creamy facial foam. Smells so good - orangey, citrusy smell.

Then, I applied my Clinique Turnaround Concentrate Visible Skin Renewer (to allow my moisturiser to absorb into my skin - according to the SA), before applying Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief gel cream.
RESULT : VERY, VERY SMOOTH AND HYDRATED SKIN. LOOOOVE IT !!!!!

My skin feels so smooth and like ParisB said, I felt like touching my face all the time to feel the softness and smoothness. Normally, my skin still flakes even after applying moisturiser but this did not happen with this gel cream. The texture of this gel cream is very light and not at all sticky. For day, I apply a thinner layer as compared to for night.

I will definitely purchase again after I have finished with this one.
