Clinique MOISTURE SURGE OVERNIGHT MASK

Product Information

An overnight face mask is, essentially, an intense night cream that gives a boost of hydration and smoothness. Our bodies go into “repair mode” when we slumber and applying the mask before this time allows your skin to reap the maximum benefits. Many of these masks are formulated to target specific concerns such as wrinkles, dull skin, or acne. How do I apply an overnight face mask? Clinique claims that this moisturizer can keep skin hydrated for 100 hours, but there isn’t any independent research to prove that the product can do this. And even if it did, you’re going to wash your face at some point during those 100 hours, right? If so, the cleansing agents in your face wash will ultimately interrupt the hydration provided by this moisturizer.

Bottom Line: A medium coverage CC Cream that provides broad spectrum SPF 30 protections while also improving skin’s hydration. A lip treatment that ​​smooths and relieves dryness, leaving you with soft, dewy lips. The highest concentration ingredient in the formula is petrolatum, also known as petroleum jelly or Vaseline. MrsAS Brilliant mask! I love this and have used it for a year or so now. It is great as an overnight mask once or twice a week, but sometimes I use it under my foundation instead of moisturiser, for a day or night out! It makes my skin look really good and my foundation stays put too. Pricey but it lasts forever if not used every night or day.Bottom Line: A petrolatum-based lip treatment that helps to relieve dryness and promote smooth, soft, dewy lips. Valt1 Overnight mask Feels nice going on and has helped my dryish skin. A little goes a long way. I had a free sample at first and was so impressed I have just bought some. According to a publication in the Indian Journal of Dermatology , humectants attract water from two sources, from the dermis into the epidermis and in humid conditions from the environment. As you can see, humectants really do provide a “moisture surge” to your skin. Bottom Line: This lightweight water-y lotion draws moisture into the skin and helps to replenish the NMF. In our opinion, Clinique products are worth the money, but there are other brands that deliver greater value.

And another 5-star review says, “I love the light pink color of this moisturizer. I love that this moisturizer is more of a gel consistency than a cream. I noticed it gives my skin a glass-like finish or look. Makes my skin feel soft & hydrated without feeling greasy. It doesn’t break out my skin.” Clinique has even created an entire Moisture Surge collection that includes additional moisturizers, a CC cream, overnight mask, eye cream , facial spray, and more.The main differences are that sodium hyaluronate is more stable, easier to formulate, and cheaper. Once applied to the skin, sodium hyaluronate provides the same benefits of hyaluronic acid. In addition, humectants provide temporary anti-aging effects because the extra hydration is extra volume, which effectively plumps out the skin and makes lines and wrinkles less noticeable. However, this effect is transient -— as soon as the moisture content in skin decreases, lines and wrinkles will return to normal size. The formula includes high concentrations of several different humectants, including glycerin, butylene glycol, sucrose, and hydroxyethyl urea, just to name a few. There’s also a water-binding algae extract and aloe vera leaf water. Ultimately, this formula really is “supercharged” with ingredients that help to bind moisture to the skin. LA22 Formula change Has the formula changed ? I got a new bottle and applied this and spent the whole night itching/scratching ended up washing it off ? What's going on? Bottom Line: Clinique Moisture Surge Eye Concentrate is a hydrating water-gel eye treatment that helps to reduce signs of aging, such as creases and crow’s feet.

So while these temporary anti-aging effects are good in the short-term, you’ll want to make sure to use other products with ingredients that provide long-term anti-aging effects.

A humectant is a hygroscopic substance that has a molecular structure with several hydrophilic (water loving) groups, such as hydroxyl groups (OH) and/or amine groups (NH2). The OH and NH2 groups hydrogen bond with water, essentially “grabbing” it and holding it on the skin.Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG), a long polysaccharide (sugar molecule) that’s able to absorb and hold a large amount of water. When applied to the skin, it will help to increase hydration and even plump lines and wrinkles. Foxwell Like the fragrance Not to heavy, goes into skin not greasy. Not sure what age group it's for. Massage in a generous amount just before bed as the final step in your skincare routine in place of your night cream or moisturiser. Alternatively, use as a pampering treatment two-to-three times a week or whenever your skin needs some TLC. Most don’t need to be washed off – just follow your usual morning skincare routine and the cleansing step will naturally remove any residue.

The humectants that you’ll find in the Clinique Moisture Surge products include glycerin, glycols (propylene glycol, butylene glycol, etc), sucrose (sugar), sorbitol, trehalose, hydroxyethyl urea, aloe vera, amino acids, peptides, and more.

Bottom Line: A sleeping mask that soothes, nourishes, and helps skin stay hydrated, resulting in soft, dewy skin by morning.
