What They Say: "Rapidly boosts skin's moisture level, restoring balance. To comfort, soften and smooth in a flash. Plump up fine dry lines. Oil-free. For all skin types. Use under or over makeup, or as a mask.

Use daily for immediate moisture boost, even over makeup. Pat over face and as spot treatment around mouth, neck, crow's feet. Use as a refreshing, moisture-intensive 5-minute mask. You may prefer to wipe skin with water-dampened 100% cotton ball before makeup application."

Jen's Experience: Last year I showed up at the Clinique counter with exceptionally dry skin. I bought several of their products in an effort to improve the situation, and as I was checking out, their representative suggested this product.

I use it when my skin is at its driest. I generally apply it in a thick layer before I go to sleep, hoping for a miracle when I wake. And, well, there's never been a miracle, I don't think, but I would definitely say I've seen some improvement. However, I've seen more drastic overnight change with other moisturizers, such as Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Skin Transforming Complex Nightly Renewal Cream.
