Dramatically Indifferent

I’ve been using a deluxe-size sample of Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotionevery night for about a month now, or however long it’s been since I ran out of my deluxe-size sample of Philosophy’s Hope In A Jar Moisturizer.

I honestly don’t see what’s so different about it. Is it because it’s yellow? Most moisturizers aren’t yellow. It was created over 40 years ago, so maybe back then it was really groundbreaking or something.

It’s very gentle, it isn’t overly heavy or greasy and didn’t clog my pores. It moisturized nicely. It’s for “very dry to dry combination skin” which is what my skin is, so that works. The scent is subtle, not unpleasant, and barely noticeable. They claim it is 100% fragrance free, so we’re just smelling the ingredients. It was surprisingly hard to find a list of ingredients, but when I did, I was not impressed. It has mineral oil, petrolatum, and other gross stuff I try to limit my exposure to.

It’s not extremely pricey, though it’s more than what you’d pay for most drugstore brands. It wins awards from magazines and, like Philosophy’s Hope, has it’s own “cult-following”, but honestly, I don’t see what the big deal is. It's fine, I guess.
