This is a Clinique face lotion formulated for very dry to dry combination skin, featuring humectants urea and glycerin plus pro‑lipids to support hydration and barrier function. The formula is fragrance‑free, non‑acnegenic, and dermatologist tested. It relies on occlusive emollients like mineral oil and petrolatum, which may feel heavy for some.
What people say online
Pros
Cons
Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.
What it may help with
Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.
From Urea, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerin, Petrolatum
Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.
From Petrolatum, Paraffinum Liquidum, Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate
Whether it can improve smoothness and surface texture — roughness, flaking, clogged pores, or unevenness. Exfoliating acids, retinoids, and smoothing moisturizers may score here.
Whether it can help visible signs of aging — fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, or photoaging.
From Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerin
Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.
From Hordeum Vulgare (Barley) Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Petrolatum, Urea
Things to watch
Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.
From Lanolin Alcohol, CI 19140, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Oil, Phenoxyethanol
Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.
From Phenoxyethanol, Urea, Triethanolamine, Pentylene Glycol
Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.
From Phenoxyethanol
Whether it has meaningful potential to be absorbed into the body at levels that may matter biologically. Most cosmetic ingredients score low unless there is known concern or high exposure.
From Triethanolamine
Whether it may worsen breakouts — clogging pores, feeling heavy on acne-prone skin, or triggering comedones in some users.
