Review: Clinelle Moisture Glow

Again, my apologies for the lack of posts for the past week or so, as I’ve been caught up with wedding preparations and all. But now I’m back with more reviews, and to continue with my review on the Clinelle range, would be Clinelle’s Moisture Glow moisturiser.  

Clinelle Moisture Glow

Description:

  • Will not clog pores (Non-comedogenic).
  • Aloe Vera, Betaglucan, and extracts of Marigold Flower, Licorice, Oat Kernel, Horse Chestnut Extract, Ruscus Aculeatus & Plankton soothe, hydrate and calm sensitized skin.
  • Powerful anti-oxidants protection of Vitamin C, E, B5, and extracts of Centella Asiatica, Grape Seed, Green Tea & Crataegus Oxyacantha for more youthful looking skin.
  • Natural essential oils of Lavender and Lime leave skin more supple.
  • Carrot Seed Oil, Wheat Germ Extract, Rice Bran Oil and Rice Germ Oil help protects skin against moisture loss for more supple skin.

I bought Clinelle’s travel set, and thought to try the moisturiser (by the way, travel sets are a great way to try out new skincare products, as they cost about a fraction of the original price, and if you don’t like it, well, at least you don’t have a lot more to go before getting another one).

I found it to be pretty lightweight and non-greasy, which, again was a plus in my book. It did not clog my pores, and my skin felt breathable. I also like that it’s fragrance-free.

Still, being a lightweight moisturiser, I felt that even though I have combination skin, the moisturiser just wasn’t rich enough for me. After a few days of using it, the skin around my mouth got really dry, and it started to peel. I had to pile on a lot more of the moisturiser than usual at night around those areas. Other than that, I’d say it’s quite a good buy for a moisturiser.

Would I buy this again? Hmm … I might. I’m not about to replace my holy grail of moisturisers with this one, that’s for sure. I’ll use this for traveling though, but only within tropical countries. I just don’t think this moisturiser would not last for more than an hour on my face in cold and dry countries.

The Moisture Glow moisturiser retails at RM35.80, and the travel set (which I LOVE) is sold at RM11.90 (oh so cheap for a facial cleanser, toner, moisturiser and eye cream!) at Watsons or Guardian.

What I like about it: It’s lightweight, non-greasy, doesn’t clog my pores and fragrance-free. Oh, and it’s cheap 😉

What I did not like about it: It wasn’t rich enough for the dry areas of my face.

    hey, i wonder, does your face become oily when u wake up from sleep in the morning? or does it react differently to different moisturiser you use?

    i have less oily face when i use this clinelle moisturiser. but with certain other moisturiser, i always wake up with super oily face.

    WQ: Hi there, thanks for dropping by.

    To answer your question, sometimes my face does, depending on the moisturiser I used the night before. I find that when I used Olay Regenerist Night Cream, my skin is like an oil slick the next morning. I’m now using Clinique’s Moisture Surge as night cream, and my skin remained oil-free in the morning. Except for a bit of oil in the nose area, which I reckon is pretty normal.

    I’m thinking that our sebum is released more during the night, but I can’t be sure. But yeah, the moisturiser you use the night before does play a significant role .

    Michi:
    Oh my, I use all sorts of cleansers. I don’t really stick to a particular one as I like trying out all the cleansers out there. I use gel and sometimes milk (not so much the latter; too much of a hassle for me to have to clean my face with facial cotton when I can just wash it off in the shower). I have combination skin, which means my cheeks and chin are sometimes dry, whereas the T-zone is oily.

    For oily skin – don’t use foam cleansers. These are meant for dry skin. I love gel cleansers. I’m currently using a drugstore one, Johnson’s Facial Wash.

    It’s too bad that the Clinique 3-step care didn’t work out for you. But yeah, Clinelle is good for sensitive skin, so do give it a go. It’s a lot cheaper than Clinique anyway 🙂

    Hi there! I have tried many brands of facial products, including Dermalogica (which is the last brand, I used the products since 2005). But, I always stick to one brand if it works well with my skin. Two months ago, I have decided to find another cheaper brand because Dermalogica products are far too expensive and they are ‘burning my pockets’.

    I used Clinelle’s Moisture Booster while using Dermalogica products and I found that the product was great! So, I have decided to try out Clinelle’s starter kit. The price range for Clinelle is very reasonable and cheap compared to those sold in the beauty centre. Plus, the ingredients are all natural and fragrance free. Why not try it out?

    After a few days of using the starter kit, I felt that my skin has less break out. I have combination skin, most dry at the cheek area and oily in the T-zone. I felt that my skin is more supple and less dry in the cheek area. Above all, the products are non-greasy and not too rich for my skin.

    I can use both type of cleansers and they are great!

    Hi there,

    I have also tried the mositure glow and find it a bit too light, therefore I tried another moistuiser which is suitable for normal to dry skin. It’s called Intensive Skin Moisturiser and the result was really good. It not only keeps my skin moist and supple but also very mild as I have sensitive skin.

  8. eshika

    i would like to ask, is it possible to use both type of cleanser? any side effect or not?

  9. eshika
