What it is
Formulated with "anti-irritation active ingredients*2" and "Moisture Drop Cocktail*5," this serum refines the stratum corneum, circulating moisture*3 for unwaveringly hydrated, radiant skin. The stratum corneum, just 0.02mm thick, contains a "moisture barrier." Various factors, including UV rays, air conditioning, and stress, can disrupt the stratum corneum, facilitating moisture loss and leading to skin dryness. Dryness can lead to skin irritation, which in turn leads to further dryness, creating a vicious cycle. Clinique's dermatologically-inspired moisturizing series, "Moisture Surge," introduces a new medicated moisturizing serum that addresses both rough and dry skin*1. It contains two "anti-irritation active ingredients*2" that maintain healthy skin against external stimuli like dryness, and "Moisture Drop Cocktail*5," a blend of 10 moisturizing ingredients designed to circulate moisture*4, leaving skin feeling fresh and hydrated. The milky white texture gently absorbs into the skin, gently softening dead skin cells and preventing roughness while circulating moisture*3, keeping it fresh. Achieve plump, radiant skin that feels as if both your skin and your mind are filled with a fountain of moisture. *1 Prevents dryness and roughness*2 Active ingredients: Tocopheryl acetate, β-glycyrrhetinic acid*3 Up to the stratum corneum*4 Within the stratum corneum*5 10 moisturizing ingredients: Lactic acid, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, aloe vera juice, sodium hyaluronate-2, concentrated glycerin, BG, POE(26) glycerin, sodium polyaspartate solution, white sugar, trehalose

At first, I applied lotion → mask → serum → cream, and after a few hours I noticed a sensation on my cheeks. I was worried that it might dry out my skin and cause irritation, so I added serum → cream, and I was surprised that my skin stayed properly moisturized and didn't irritate until the next day. When I applied lotion → serum → cream in the morning before applying makeup, my skin stayed dry all day, so maybe I made a mistake in the order or didn't need a mask.
I won this product from Suzykirei. It's non-irritating, moisturizes well, and leaves my skin feeling bouncy and supple. One pump is all you need for the whole face, so it's great value for money. I've only been using it for a few days, so I'm looking forward to using it up.
It felt like it blended well into my skin, but for me the texture was a little too light and not satisfying.
I won a giveaway from Suzykirei. Thank you! [Scent] As everyone has said, the scent is quite unique. When I smelled it from the bottle, it reminded me of Clinique's unscented scent, but when I applied it, it had a hint of sourness mixed in. Personally, I found it bothersome that it didn't dissipate quickly. Maybe it'll go away once I get used to it... [Usage] It's a serum, but it's milky white and thick like a lotion, but it absorbs quickly! I didn't notice any particular moisture or hydration right away. The official description states that the moment I applied it, it "exfoliated and smoothed my skin," the next morning "gave me a fresh, radiant glow that I couldn't help but touch," and after a week, "I noticed a steady, healthy glow when I looked in the mirror," and after about two weeks, "it gave me a plump, radiant complexion." I'll probably only really see the benefits if I continue using it, so I'll keep using it. Rather than using it as a complete serum on its own, it seems like it would be easy to use as a moisturizing addition to address specific concerns!
