Oily skin? Tell me about it!
It’s definitely a double edged
sword. While it is the slowest to show signs of aging, it is also prone to
acne, enlarged pores and blackheads. Aaarrghhhhh!
As a result, I was always hesitant
to use a moisturizer on my face. So while my skin went psycho with enough oil
production for export, it always lacked something. Something, I could never put
my finger on.
Well, after tons of reading and
researching I realized its hydration.
Water helps of course, and it definitely
plays the most important part. That said, you do need to keep the outer skin
hydrated too. So, I began my quest, tried a few products, failed. I was almost
exasperated when I chanced upon, my now favorite, *drum rolls please* Clinique Dramatically Different
Moisturizing Gel.
A quick disclaimer here: If you
have dry skin, this isn’t the right fit for you and you may be disappointed.
Now stay with me ladies, it’s an
expensive product, I know. I broke a sweat too. But, a little goes a long way
and the 125 ml. bottle lasts up to 6 months. Great!
Here’s my two cents on the
uuhh-mazing product:
- Oil-free. Check. Fragrance-free. Check. The two basic criterion for my highly sensitive, oily skin are met. So far, so good.
- Though it’s touted as a gel, it has the consistency of a lotion. Albeit, a very silky, feather light lotion. It glides smoothly on the skin’s surface and absorbs before you can finish the alphabet song.
- The gel is absolutely non-irritating. No breakouts, redness, itchiness or flaky skin.
- I love the hygienic dispensing pump and the sturdy plastic container. It is travel friendly too, no antagonizing spills when you flip that suitcase open.
So, if you are in need of gentle
hydration and have had disappointing results with other product, pick this up.
Pronto!
Love!
I agree it is one of the best moisturiser for oily skin...I am glad you love it so much :)
