Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ — The Moisturiser That Has Been Right Since 1968
One sold every six seconds globally. Not one per minute. One every six seconds. That number — confirmed by Clinique's own global sales data — tells you something that no review, no ingredient analysis, and no beauty editor recommendation can fully convey: the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ has been the moisturiser people come back to, decade after decade, for nearly six decades. Created in 1968 in partnership with New York dermatologist Dr. Norman Orentreich as part of the world's first dermatologist-developed skincare system — and reformulated with the "+" update to strengthen the skin's moisture barrier by an additional 54% — it remains Clinique's #1 face moisturiser and one of the most consistently loved skincare products in the world. Now available in Pakistan at Khayest, 100% original.
Why the DDML+ Has Survived 57 Years Without Losing Its Place
Most skincare products peak and fade. The Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ has been repurchased by the same customers across generations — mothers who started using it in the 1980s whose daughters now use it too. The reason is not mystery. It works. Not in the complicated, multiactive, highly formulated way that contemporary skincare increasingly promises — but in the foundational, reliable, skin-feels-better-after-every-use way that most people actually need from a daily moisturiser. Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion duplicates the exact lipids and water balance that naturally occur in healthy skin, so you receive the perfect amount of both exactly where you need it. A moisturiser built on genuinely scientific principles, validated over decades of use, in a formula that has been trusted by dermatologists since the year it was created.
What the "+" Means — The Updated Formula
The Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ is a meaningfully upgraded version of the original formula — not simply a name change but a genuine formulation improvement. The "+" formula adds pure urea and a more sophisticated humectant complex to the original's emollient base, resulting in a measurably improved moisture barrier strengthening — clinically demonstrated to strengthen skin's own moisture barrier by 54% compared to the original formula. More moisture stays in. Skin feels soft, springy, and has a glow. The silky texture and quick penetration of the original are preserved — the performance is meaningfully better.
Key Ingredients — What Makes DDML+ Work
-
Pure Urea: One of the skin's own natural moisturising factor (NMF) components — a powerful humectant that draws moisture from the environment into the skin and gently exfoliates rough surface texture. At the concentration used in DDML+, urea is one of the most clinically validated moisture-barrier-strengthening ingredients available in any OTC moisturiser. The primary "+" addition that drives the 54% barrier improvement.
-
Pure Glycerin: A powerful humectant that attracts and retains moisture at the skin's surface — one of the most effective and most studied moisturising ingredients in dermatological skincare. Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair and support the skin barrier.
-
Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate): The moisture-binding ingredient that infuses skin with plumping hydration — a moisture magnet that helps attract and retain water in the skin, supporting surface plumpness and a visibly smoother, more hydrated appearance.
-
Sesame Oil: A rich plant oil packed with fatty acids and vitamins E, D, and B complex — providing emollient softness and skin conditioning alongside barrier-supportive lipids. An ingredient with documented anti-inflammatory properties that helps calm the skin while nourishing it.
-
Sunflower Seed Cake: The residue from sunflower oil extraction — a distinctive Clinique ingredient with emollient and anti-inflammatory properties that contributes to the formula's skin-softening and barrier-supporting character.
-
Cucumber Fruit Extract + Barley Extract: Soothing botanical extracts that provide gentle anti-inflammatory support and contribute to the formula's characteristic skin comfort and calming quality — particularly valuable for dry, sensitive, or easily irritated skin types.
-
Petrolatum + Mineral Oil + Lanolin Alcohol: The original formula's classic emollient foundation — occlusive ingredients that create a protective layer on top of the skin, preventing moisture loss and keeping skin soft and comfortable throughout the day. These ingredients are what give DDML+ its characteristic moisturising longevity — they do not add moisture themselves, but they ensure that the humectants' work is preserved by locking it in.
Skin Types — Who DDML+ Is For
The Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ is formulated for Clinique Skin Types 1 and 2: Very Dry to Dry and Dry Combination. It is the rich, emollient option in the Dramatically Different family — the lotion for those whose skin genuinely feels tight, rough, or uncomfortable without a substantial daily moisturiser. For those with oilier skin (Skin Types 3 and 4), Clinique recommends the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel — also available at Khayest — which delivers the same barrier-strengthening benefits in a lighter, non-oil-based gel vehicle without the heaviness of the lotion's emollient base.
How to Use — The 3-Step System Placement
The Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ is the third and final step in Clinique's 3-Step Skin Care System — the world's first dermatologist-developed skincare routine, still the most clinically validated sequential skincare system available in prestige beauty.
-
Step 1: Liquid Facial Soap — cleanse with the appropriate formulation for your skin type
-
Step 2: Clarifying Lotion — sweep over skin to remove pollution, grime, and dulling flakes
-
Step 3: Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ — apply twice daily to face and throat, all over or where needed
The lotion can also be used independently as a daily moisturiser outside of the 3-Step system — for anyone who wants a simple, fragrance-free, dermatologist-developed moisturiser for dry to dry-combination skin, it works seamlessly as a standalone product.
