Clinique Youth Surge Night Age Decelerating Night Moisturizer – My Thoughts

March 25, 2010 Paris B 19 Comments

Early this year, Clinique launched their Youth Surge Night moisturizer. I’d always had a love-hate relationship with Clinique skincare. Their 3 step programme does not agree well with me. But I’ve had great success with Moisture Surge and with their Superdefense night cream.

So trying the Youth Surge Night moisturizer was a bit like playing roulette – I wasn’t sure if it was going break me  out or if my skin would like it. Happily enough, it fell into the latter category. I’d just run out of night cream when I started using this way back in January 2010.

3 months later, I’m still on it and I’m only about 1/4 of the way through because you only use a little. The cream is thick but not oily and you only need a pea sized amount all over your face.

As you can see from the picture above, mine is for dry/combination skin which works really well for me. It does not make my skin oily and absorbs well after a little while, leaving my skin feeling soft.

It must be borne in mind that I sleep in an air conditioned room so when I wake up, and I don’t see dry skin or lines, and have skin that is smooth to the touch, its a good cream for me 😛

There is no fragrance which is really great. However, there is a slight metallic smell – does not bug me. Clinique says their cream is formulated with Sirtuin technology to fortify the skin at night, and collagen to plump up skin. Not having discernable sagging skin (and bearing in mind that Dior One Essential serum is still firmly entrenched in my skincare routine) I cannot tell you if my skin is any firmer than it was before.

All I can say is that my skin feels and looks great in the morning which is all that matters to me at the end of the day.

A 50ml tub of Clinique Youth Surge Night moisturizer retails at RM180 at all Clinique counters. Clinique Youth Surge also comes in a day cream with SPF15. I don’t consider this one expensive because you only use it once a day and a tub can last you at least 6-8 months – yay!

Pros: No scent, Skin looks and feels smooth in the morning, Not expensive when you break it down

Cons: Some may consider it expensive, Slight metallic scent may bug some

I believe Clinique had a sampling drive early this year of this cream. Did you manage to get a sample to try? I suppose you could ask at the counter if they have anymore samples. Have you tried Youth Surge and if you have, do you like it? 🙂

    I absolutely love stuff from Clinique, but all I have for their skincare is the 3 step system, which has worked wonders for me. I’ve been struggling with pimples since I was nine, and since I used Clinique they’ve all disappeared! hehehehhe. Glad that you like the night cream!! ^.^

    Oho! I got the samples in January, but still haven’t used it yet. Was actually contemplating passing it on to my mother for her to use since I am worried that it might break me out. Now I feel like digging it back out to try. 🙂

      But Moisture Surge works for you 🙂 Perhaps this might too? I had the same fears as you and Moisture Surge works for me too. Nearly finished my tub already

    I’ve not try this and still stick to my Moisture Surge Thirst Relief. BTW, Clinique is having a promotion now, upon purchasing a 50ML of Moisture Surge, they will give 2 pc gifts of Moisture Surge too! I’ve not asked personally though, saw it frm the e-newsletter to me, it seems like another small tub of moisture surge and a spray mist I think..if anyone have approached any counter, let me know!

    May I know that the Moisture Surge Thirst Relief is an essence or a moisturizer? In which step should I use it?

      Its a gel moisturizer although some people could use it in conjunction with another moisturizer if its too light. Reading my previous review on the Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief might help 🙂

    Hey Paris B,

    I just got a 50ml of Clinique Youth Surge Night Age Decelerating Night Moisturizer for RM 250. Did they have a price increase?

      I’m not aware of any drastic price increases – based on the information I have, its RM180/50ml. Where did you get yours?

    1 thing I’m reluctant to go for Clinique is…. Too much work to do
    We need to go for their 3step before any other moisturizers of their brand which makes me feel very troublesome…

      April 5, 2011 at 11:23 am

      Hmm… Do we have to use all 3 steps before using other creams? I had the impression the 3 step was it. I think I do about 5 steps most nights anyway hehe 😉

        April 16, 2011 at 10:23 am

        5 steps yes…
        what i mean is we need to follow clinique’s 3step, their cleanser + toner + yellow moisturizer before u add another treatment moisturizer of them…
        as for other brands, we just need to apply 1 moisturizer instead of 2
        well, maybe some may consider clinique’s yellow moisturizer like LANEIGE’s emulsion 😛

        5steps for u?
        cleanse + toner + emulsion + serum + eye + moisturizer

          Oh I wasn’t aware that you had to use the 3 step and then add on other moisturizers? I sometimes use 2 moisturizers (emulsion and cream – Japanese brands advocate that for more moisturizing qualities – theirs is cleansing, toner(lotion), emulsion, cream) but I usually don’t. I usually do cleanser, lotion (toner), serum (1 or 2), moisturizer, eye (when I remember)

The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of each other 😁 Kiddo turns 4 and celebrated with specially made doggy burgers & fries.

I got him in early Jan 2020 so he’s only been with me less than 4 years but it’s been incredible to see how he’s grown (or not), and how he’s slowly mellowed with age (or not!). He’s still that crazy rambunctious puppy who terrorises other dogs, begging them to play and barking at them when they don’t. He’s a greedy fella who makes me think I’m the greatest chef in the world (in the dog world maybe!) and he still gets crazy eyes when excited. 

But I’ve also found more white hair around his eyes and he sleeps in more and later now. He doesn’t even get up early enough to jump onto the bed as he used to 😔

4 years is practically adulthood in doggy years and I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to spend lots of time together even if I bemoan having to bring him everywhere I go. 

Happy 4 years boy ❤️
