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.
Description:
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 .
hi!!
i just started using clinelle for 3weeks already..well..it's ok wf me cz i ddnt hv any heavy-feeling on my face..++ there is no 6 ingredients whch usually found in other skin regime.jst great for me:D. luv it.
but using the snoWhite mask seems no effect at all maa...how frustrating
hi there
can i know which cleanser did u use? gel or milk ya? coz one is for dry n another is for oily skin rite?
im thinking of trying this skincare ... used clinique 3 steps for 3 months.. face popped with pimples around jawline :(
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 :)
