Q: Custom Clinique ID dramatically different hydrating jelly product review

Clinique recently released a new skincare range called Clinique iD where you can create your custom-blend hydration system.

 

The customisation part is very easy. Firstly, you have to choose your base out of 3 possible moisturisers, the moisturising lotion, moisturising gel and hydrating gel. 
So according to my skin concern I chose hydrating jelly as I've a combination skin.

 

Then you have to choose a cartridge out of 5 possible options, which thankfully are also colour coded. The white cartridge is for uneven skin tone, the green for irritation, the orange one for fatigue, the blue for uneven texture and pores and finally, the purple one for lines and wrinkles. What all this means is that there are 3 base moisturisers and 5 possible addon cartridges.

 

And I then chose white cartridge which is for uneven skin tone , as it suits my concern.

 

All 3 Clinique ID cartridges come in the sa

outer and actual product packaging.

The outer packaging for these cartridges has the typical Clinique branding and design and they all look the same with the only difference being the name and colour of the cartridge. I really like the colour coding, it makes the product look beautiful but also allows you to quickly identify which cartridge you are using without reading a single word.


The packaging also reflects the fact that these cartridges are meant to be used in combination with one of the base moisturisers, by having the number 2 on them and showing on the side of the packaging that for number 1 you have a choice between 3 moisturisers.

 

The actual cartridge products come in a plastic, long tube pump bottle that contains only 10mL of product. They all look the same with the only difference being again the name and colour of the cartridge as well as the actual colour of the liquid product inside.
The cartridges initially come in a see-through plastic protective cap. This cap just protects the cartridge from any damage and should be removed before the cartridge can be placed inside the base moisturiser bottle. The cartridge comes with two pumps, one which will deliver the base moisturiser and one that dispenses the cartridge product. The dispense points are so close to each other that the two products mix (but not very well) upon dispensing.

 

Although these cartridges where designed to be used from inside the base moisturiser bottles, you could still use them on their own if you wanted. The product they contain is sealed and will not be destroyed or contaminated.

Overall, I thought that the cartridges look nice and compliment the base moisturiser bottles very well. The different colours not only help quickly distinguish them from each other but also give the products character.

After I apply the moisturizer, my skin feels immediately felt hydrated and looked significantly brighter. I’m fully aware that my dark spots aren’t going to disappear after one week of using it. Overall, I love that it gives me radiant skin—that was immediately noticeable. I’m looking forward to seeing what my skin will look like in a month or two.

Japanese Angelica root extract is the main ingredient that works to even out skin’s tone. Other radiance-boosting components include Vitamin C and salicylic acid, which help reduce discoloration and smooth texture, respectively.and the power ingredients like barley extract, cucumber fruit extract, glycerine, and hydraulic acid.
As we all know hydraulic acid aims to hydrate the skin more better.

I want to thank Nykaa for giving me this opportunity to review about this product
