no it doesnt make it more oily.... and it doesnt make u break out at all, clinique is the only product line that doesnt make me break out!!! its very good!

I would highly recommend this for winter skin. If you are only very dry in patches try putting this only on the dry areas. This product will not clog your pores. You might also want to try switching your cleanser in the winter if you find it is too harsh for everyday use. You could use your normal cleanser every other day and find a milder cleanser to use inberween uses.

I think Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief would be a great product for you. It's oil-free, hydrates very well, goes on smooth and easy.

They have it on the package box. I did not see silicone written there.

I have pretty sensitive skin and it doesn't irritate mine. I also know what you mean about the dry, flakiness...I used to get that all of the time. I use this product and the clarisonic and my skin is completely different now. I love it!

Yes, At the end of March my ten year love affair with Online ended, Why because Clinique KILLED it. I can't figure out why, there are so many people that hate Clinique for doing this, if you look at the old reviews it was loved. I begged them not to destroy it, (and many others are still venting frustration that its gone). Clinique does Not have another product that matches this one. I've tried the Crisco sensation that they call Comfort on Call-YUCK, and the Super Rescue, sits on my face won't absorb, doesn't feel like it hydrates that much even though there is a layer of oil floating on the surface of my face, and this Moisture Surge_the surge is not working it feels like sticky glue that drys like saran wrap over my face. So now what? Well I've been researching and interviewing other creams, and while I have found none that match this super hydrating, fast absorbing super hero that Online was, I have found happiness with Dr Denese and Dr Wexler. Everything else inflames me or breaks me out, but the Hydrosheild line from Denese is a life saver. The serum is magic and when followed with the dream cream my skin has started looking alive agin. It plumps, it absorbs, and it intensively hydrates. I think it even helps acne heal faster-and no breaks from the products. Dr Denese is a scientist and from that education she puts out some winning products. Wexler make about the only acne product I can use with out turning my face into flake city, the MMPI acnescription serum is anti aging, anti irration, calming, hydrating , I use it after my Dr Denese firming pads, it really preps skin good so products will aborb better.
I wouldn't advise ordering the disscontinued Clinique from Ebay, or other unknown places, I got TWO rancid, expired, or knock offs which was my last straw with trying to not let go of the Online, and now I'm also letting go of Clinique, I don't think they seem to care about customers opinions and we are the ones who keep them employed.
Lastly you may want to check out some Paulas Choice products, you can order samples and play around with the products before commiting, and the cost is a fraction of Cliniques. Some people are using the hydration mask as a moisturizer that were once devoted Online fans.
I hope this helps you, I know I was very distraught trying to find some new moisturizer after ten years of loyalty to the brand, but there are greener pasures out there.

Yes...it can be used around the eye area.

I'm 40 - it worked well for me. I put it on after I come out of the shower, get ready for the day (30 minutes) and then put on my makeup and it has absorbed enough for me to put makeup on or go for a run without looking all greasy.

Yes, you can use this around your eyes!
