In the Asian climates, skin is often exposed to extreme environmental changes. The outdoors can be very hot and humid while the indoors is kept very cold and dry. These severe and sudden changes can wreak havoc on the skin leaving it dehydrated or unbalanced. Clinique’s Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief is an updated formula that elevates performance to extend and prolong moisture for a full 12 hours while taking into account changes in temperature and humidity.
What’s new and improved
Imagine a moisturizer that not only understands your skin but also the conditions it experiences. In today’s fast-paced world, we are on the go for longer hours and exposed to many climate changes. Whether it is cold weather or hot, dry or humid, indoors or out, new hydration technologies in Moisture Surge Extra Thirsty Skin Relief allow skin to adapt and adjust to these varying changes. Skin experiences a new level of hydration from the very first application and this moisture continues on throughout the day or night. This lightweight gel dramatically improves skin’s natural moisture retention ability for longer lasting hydration. It addresses the cause and effects of skin dehydration, penetrating deeper into the stratum corneum with a quick and faster release of prolonged moisturization.

What makes it work
Trehalose and Sorbitol are sugar derived ingredients that penetrate deep into the stratum corneum to help maximize the skin’s natural ability to attract moisture from the environment, even during drastic changes in temperature and humidity. Both ingredients counter the osmotic shock effect, when skin is dehydrated due to a moisture imbalance. Skin’s natural moisture system is improved.
Hydrolyzed Extensin, naturally found in carrots, helps skin withstand the change in indoor and outdoor temperatures and retain and bind moisture to maintain skin integrity. This key ingredient is water-binding and acts as a protective “coat” to defend the skin against fluctuations in changing humidity conditions that affect moisture levels. Coupled with the Trehalose and Sorbitol, it allows the skin to adjust to shifts in humidity so that moisture levels are optimally maintained.
In skin, hyaluronic acid is a jelly-like substance that fills the spaces between the skin’s essential support structures and is known to hydrate the skin by holding in water and act as a cushioning and lubricating agent against damage. These small Hyaluronic Acid Fragments effectively penetrate the epidermis to provide a more potent water retention capacity, creating a “moisture reservoir” to continually bind water molecules.
Suitable for all skin types, Moisture Surge Extra Thirsty Skin Relief can be used as often as needed all over the face. It can be used as a facial moisturizer twice a day, as a moisture enhancer applied over regular moisturizer or as a midday moisturizer applied over makeup or moisturizer. Tap on face when using it over other products. It can also be used as a five-minute facial mask, spread liberally on clean skin then either blotted off with a tissue or gently massaged into skin for added moisture.
