Winter hydration essentials: Serums, moisturizers, and key ingredients

Smooth skin and boost strength with advanced retinoid and peptides. Winter can dehydrate skin, amplifying the appearance of fine lines and dryness. Target the signs of aging from three separate angles: visibly repair lines and wrinkles, resurface, and replump. Our most advanced wrinkle serum, Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Serum, is formulated with 9.5% peptides to help strengthen your skin, hyaluronic acid to help deeply hydrate and plump, and 1% advanced retinoid to help refine texture.

Make sure you apply SPF every morning after the serum—a must when using retinoids. (And let's face it, winter or not, you should always wear SPF.)

Exfoliate and revitalize with Multi-Renewal Technology. Exfoliating in the winter is crucial to remove the buildup of dead skin cells that can cause your skin to look dull and feel rough. Turnaround Accelerated Renewal Serum fast-tracks fresh, healthy cells to the surface for vibrant, velvety-smooth skin thanks to its Multi-Renewal Technology. You'll look radiant all winter with a lit-from-within glow.

Serums aren't meant to replace your moisturizer. Using a serum and a moisturizer with complementary benefits creates a powerful duo, helping you see results. Together, they offer powerful support for your skin.

Aloe bioferment and hyaluronic acid help deliver hydration. All skin types can become dry, and in the winter, they all need an extra boost of hydration and glow. Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator is a refreshing oil-free face moisturizer with aloe bioferment and hyaluronic acid that delivers instant hydration that soothes in 3 seconds. Its blend of vitamins C and E helps provide antioxidant protection against daily dehydrators so your skin is more resilient

Peptides and hyaluronic acid help fortify and plump skin. Wrinkled skin is often weakened skin. Peptides support skin’s natural collagen to help reduce the look of lines and wrinkles, while hyaluronic acid floods your skin with hydration to help plump skin. Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Rich Cream is an ultra-nourishing moisturizer engineered to visibly reduce lines and wrinkles, and leaves skin feeling stronger and looking smoother.

Visibly calm and comfort skin. It's common to experience redness, blotchiness skin due to irritants even in the winter. Redness Solutions Daily Relief Cream is an extra-gentle, moisturizing cream that hydrates and helps visibly calm and comfort skin. The formula contains lactobacillus extract and improves the look of redness and provides soothing hydration, perfect for the winter months. Plus, it’s safe for sensitive skin.

Remember to wear sunscreen every day, as UV rays can aggravate redness-prone skin.

Pro-lipids help support the skin barrier. Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ is Clinique's #1 face moisturizer. This dermatologist-developed lotion contains pure urea and pure glycerin and helps hydrate and rapidly strengthen the skin barrier—essential during the winter months. This fast-absorbing moisturizing lotion delivers 8 hours of hydration and strengthens the barrier. A strong barrier helps keep moisture in and harmful irritants out.

By using the right serums and moisturizers, your skin can stay hydrated and glowing, plus you can address a variety of skin concerns. Choose your winter skincare allies wisely, and you’ll keep your skin glowing and hydrated all season long.
