It's a hydration-focused formula with minimal oil content. I found this product particularly useful when I had oily skin in the past.
ConsPersonally, I didn't experience any blemishes, but as my skin became drier over time, I felt the lack of oil made it feel dehydrated, so I started looking for other products. Depending on the individual or season (especially in winter), some might find it a bit drying. With the recent increase in skincare products with great ingredients, looking at the composition makes me wonder if it's really necessary. It's disappointing that even after the reformulation, the ingredients haven't been improved.
TipIt's great for use on skin fatigued by heat during summer or when traveling to hot climates.

ConsThe ingredients... I wonder if some of the pigments could have been left out While there was a slight cooling sensation, it did not help manage the redness The value for the price is somewhat disappointing in terms of the ingredients and effectiveness
TipThe absorption is quite fast, so it needs to be spread quickly when applying

When first applied, there was a slight cooling sensation and sufficient moisture, and the absorption was also smooth. There was no stickiness or tackiness, and the finish was smooth and powdery. Some Clinique products have a strong, unpleasant ingredient smell, but the Moisture Surge did not have any such offensive odor, which was great. 😊 The moisturizing and finishing properties are suitable for combination to oily skin types.
ConsIn my case, I would say my skin is more normal, but even with just a moisturizer, I don't feel any tightness or lack of hydration. However, those with dry or very dry skin may find the moisturizing level a bit lacking. Also, while the signature Clinique pink cream is nice, the inclusion of color pigments is a bit disappointing. Sensitive skin types may want to do a patch test on the back of the hand or chin area before using. Additionally, I would recommend using only a small amount in the morning before makeup, as too much can cause the makeup to slip.
TipIf you want to add some moisture before makeup, it's best to use only a small, thin layer, not a thick application. The finish is great, but I wouldn't recommend using it as a pre-makeup skincare step due to the heavy finish. However, if you must use it, stick to a small amount. It's also great to use as an overnight moisture mask. I personally like to apply a generous amount at night, and I can really feel the difference in my skin in the morning.

It seems suitable for combination skin types as well.
ConsThose who prefer an oily type may find it to be a bit light.

I really like to apply moisturizers generously, and this one absorbed well without feeling sticky at all - that was the biggest plus for me!
ConsI'm not sure if it's just for oily skin types... My skin felt dry again quickly. And it kind of made my skin feel thin, if that makes sense? I usually don't have much trouble with blemishes, but some of the stronger chemical ingredients seemed to make my skin a bit irritated, and then I'd get those little bumps the next day. And when I was using the Clinique pink cream, I started noticing some thin, pimple-like spots coming up, not like cystic acne or oily buildup, but just those little bumps - it really seemed like a product reaction. So I'd caution anyone who isn't extremely oily, or has sensitive skin, to be careful with this one!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsSince it has a balanced composition, when I try to buy something without sebum, the moisturization doesn't work well, and when I buy something that moisturizes well, it produces too much sebum. This seems to be in the middle of those. After applying, it feels refreshing and my hands don't feel slippery or sticky, so I really like it.
ConsIt was fine to some extent in the summer and early fall, but in the winter, spring, and fall, it felt quite dry. And if you buy it at a department store or Olive Young, it's also expensive.. I don't know if it's because I used a lot, but the 75ml didn't last for a few months.. I even only applied this product after washing my face in the morning.
TipIf you happen to be taking a flight, I know that buying it on the plane is cheaper than at a department store or Olive Young. At the department store, the 75ml was around 54,000 won, but I bought it on the plane for 39,000 won.

It's great for hydrating and leaves a coating on the skin at the end. As it's not sticky, it's perfect for oily skin that just needs moisture.
ConsIf you apply sunscreen before the product is fully absorbed, it can sometimes pill. This seems to depend on the sunscreen used.
TipIt's great to apply after using a face mask.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe gel-type formula feels refreshing. It provides more of a moisturizing feel rather than complete hydration, but the oil content is quite nice. It applies smoothly without stickiness and absorbs quickly. There is no residual feel. The oil content does not seem to increase over time. It does not feel heavy or greasy.
ConsThe price is on the higher side. It doesn't seem to have many functions beyond basic moisturization. In the winter, using this product alone can feel drying (but adding more product or using an essence could help).
