Good for my very sensitive skin
My 56 year old skin is sensitive; no retinoids, retinols, or high percentage vitamin c. They all make me itch, peel and sometimes swell. The lactic acid in this product I can tolerate, and the glycerin is quite nice. It feels a bit tacky until it dries, but I wake up in the morning with smoother, softer skin. I have to take a break every 4th night, and use moisturizer only. It is not fading my dark spots much, but it has helped with smoothing the texture of my skin. Also, as serums go, it is not tremendously overpriced, and I appreciate that. I will repurchase.

More transpercy is needed regarding vitamin C
I got this bottle not via promotion like so many seem to have who have written reviews, I am an actual customer who paid for it. First off I really do enjoy the overall look of the product however looks only mean so much, quality of the product is what matters. I found the serum was very milky and smooth and it did make my skin look more hydrated. I did get a few deep pimples on my chin the first week of use , not sure if it was from this serum or not. The serum layered nicely with other products and sun screen. There was no pilling which is huge for me because I hate pilling. I had that issue with Clinique's super charged hydrating serum so was relieved this serum didn't have that problem. All in all a decent serum if you are looking for something that hydrates nicely and plays well with other products. My issue though and why I only give three stars is Clinique's complete lack of transparency when it comes to vitamin C. For vitamin C to be effective you want at least 10 percent. Also 15 -20 percent can be hard for people with sensitive skin to handle. They claim their secretiveness as far as percentage is due to "proprietary reasons". I don't get that because there are plenty of serums on the market that reveal their vitamin C percentage. Just seems deceitful to me, as if there isn't really all that much in the serum. Due to that I feel like I cant really discontinue the Vitamin C serum I am using as I know that has sufficient amount for effectiveness.For that reason I am on the fence of reordering this.

Worst Product
I was very excited to try the Moisture Surge Active Glow Serum since I found other Moisture Surge products to be effective. Given the product name, I expected it to give the same plump but with an added "glow". It had absolutely NO impact on my skin. None. Totally INEFFECTIVE. I would not recommend to purchase.

Wanted to love it
I’ve been using this for 2 months, morning and night, religiously. I wanted to love it!! I tried!! I just see no difference, literally at all. I gave it two stars because it layers really well under makeup.

Smooth and effective
I received this product form Influenstet for my honest review. The product went on smoothly, but felt sticky for a little. It has little to no scent making it easy to apply.

Makes my sensitive skin glow!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been a fan of Clinique since I first got into skincare, and this serum is no exception! I have dry sensitive skin so I'm always looking for something that hydrates without irritating my skin, and this does just that! My skin looks plump & glowing!

AwesomeNESS in the prettiest of Bottles!!!!!!!
I've been a long time Clinique user! As a teenager, Clinique was my first skin care routine and at 44, i still cant get away. But this here, this Moisture Surge Serum is a game changer. I've had the moisturizer, the mask, and hydro-infused lotion. Its been only a few days and when i tell you my skin is glowing and plumped and just as pretty as it can be! I was using Este Lauder but this price point and the benefits, i don't miss night repair or its price!!!!!

Feels luxurious
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love the glass packaging—it feels heavy and high-end. The serum itself is super soft, gentle on my skin, and layers well under makeup. The scent is light and pleasant. Definitely a favorite!

Broke me out
I got a deluxe sample of this to try. I've had very clear skin on my forehead for a couple years. I tried this product ONLY on my forehead to test it out. Woke up today with white heads, black heads and swollen deep pimples only where I put this product. It's a NOPE for me.

Facial
This item is too small for the price of y'all charged for this. It should be a little bit bigger and it's kind of watery. It need to be a little bit more condensed but other than that it works OK.

Helps My Other Moisture Surge Products Work Better
For me, this is a great substitute for Clarifying Lotion, which contain alcohol denat and witch hazel that cause skin irritation. Due to its mild exfoliation, this serum helps my other products absorb into my skin and improves overall moisturization. Hyaluronic acid is a plus. My skin is sensitive and thinning as I age, so I use it only once daily, in the evening. I am cautious about using vitamin C and lactic acid because they can cause stinging and burning, but with once-a-day application followed by moisture surge cream, this hasn't happened. I use sunscreen daily to keep my skin even more protected. I appreciate that Clinique does not use fragrance in their products!
