1. What were your first impressions of the moisturizer? How did you find the texture/feel? Did you notice any difference in the appearance or feel of your skin when you first started using the moisturizer?

2. Now that you've hopefully had chance to use the moisturizer a lot, what do you think of it now? What's the best thing about it? Is there anything that you don't like about it?

3. Do you prefer this moisturizer to the one you were using before (if you were using one) or not? Do you think you'll continue using it on a regular basis or not? Why?

4. If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend Clinique's Turnaround Overnight Radiance Moisturizer? If so, why? If not, why not?

1. What were your first impressions of the moisturizer? How did you find the texture/feel? Did you notice any difference in the appearance or feel of your skin when you first started using the moisturizer?
   I liked the packaging, the smell was pleasant and not strong and the cream seemed light and was easily absorbed straight away.

2. Now that you've hopefully had chance to use the moisturizer a lot, what do you think of it now? What's the best thing about it? Is there anything that you don't like about it?
   I do seem to be waking up with smoother skin and reduced pores.

3. Do you prefer this moisturizer to the one you were using before (if you were using one) or not? Do you think you'll continue using it on a regular basis or not? Why?
   I do like it better than other night creams I have used - it seems better suited to my slightly oily skin.

4. If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend Clinique's Turnaround Overnight Radiance Moisturizer? If so, why? If not, why not?
   Yes, I would, I would say it is expensive but seems like a good product.

I thought the cream was a nice consistency. I liked the fact it was unperformed. My skin looked plumper and more hydrated the next morning.

2. Now that you've hopefully had chance to use the moisturizer a lot, what do you think of it now? What's the best thing about it? Is there anything that you don't like about it?

I think it has made a difference to my skin and I look less tired and my skin's texture has improved. Although I think the packaging looks nice I would prefer a pump action bottle as I think it's more hygienic.

3. Do you prefer this moisturizer to the one you were using before (if you were using one) or not? Do you think you'll continue using it on a regular basis or not? Why?

I was using a REN night cream before. I'm undecided as to whether or not I will continue with the Clinique product. I will see how it performs long term.

4. If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend Clinique's Turnaround Overnight Radiance Moisturizer? If so, why? If not, why not?

I would recommend this product. Several of my friends are Clinique users anyway and I think they would enjoy this product.

Thank you to MN and Clinique for selecting me to take part in this trial. I will report back with further feedback in a few weeks.

1. What were your first impressions of the moisturizer? How did you find the texture/feel? Did you notice any difference in the appearance or feel of your skin when you first started using the moisturizer?

I thought the moisturizer was packaged nicely and I liked that it didn't have that cloying heavy smell you sometimes get. I thought the texture was just right, smooth and creamy. I didn't notice any difference in my skin for the first couple of days.

2. Now that you've hopefully had chance to use the moisturizer a lot, what do you think of it now? What's the best thing about it? Is there anything that you don't like about it?

I do like this product, though would never spend this much on a skincare product normally. It has made my skin feel healthier, smoother and less dry.

3. Do you prefer this moisturizer to the one you were using before (if you were using one) or not? Do you think you'll continue using it on a regular basis or not? Why?

I didn't use one before so of course my skin is more moisturized now. I will continue using this although am unlikely to buy it once this pot is finished, though I may now try another moisturizer.

4. If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend Clinique's Turnaround Overnight Radiance Moisturizer? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes probably, in fact I have already recommended it to my Mum!

UPDATED FEEDBACK

Since reading all of the positive reviews, I decided to up the ante and have been using the cream during the day too.

I have seen in improvement in the size and appearance of my open pores, and in the number of them. Also, my skin feels smoother. I still don't look any more radiant though, unfortunately.

I am happy with the results in spite of my initial disappointment, and I would now recommend it to anyone who wanted to even out the overall appearance of their skin.

1. The cream itself is very light and smoothes on really well. A little goes a long way - you really don't need much. Other night creams I've tried tend to be much thicker and heavier so I was pleasantly surprised by the consistency of this cream. It has a nice smell - a faint / delicate scent which is good as you wouldn't want anything over powering at night. I didn't notice a difference in the appearance of my skin but it felt great.

2. Because I'm using the Clinique night cream I've found I don't need as much moisturiser in the morning as I used to apply.

3. I never used a cream regularly before but I would strongly consider continuing to use this cream on a regular basis as I can see the benefit the following day.

4. Yes - I was very impressed by the product. If you like nice creams then this is a great treat that definitely improves moisture levels and means you don't have to use so much moisturiser in the day.

   When i first opened the box i was impressed with the tub of cream. It looks really pretty on my bathroom shelf. Doesnt really feel any different to my normal moisturiser just slightly thicker.

2. Now that you've hopefully had chance to use the moisturizer a lot, what do you think of it now? What's the best thing about it? Is there anything that you don't like about it?
   Isnt any different from my normal moisturiser

3. Do you prefer this moisturizer to the one you were using before (if you were using one) or not? Do you think you'll continue using it on a regular basis or not? Why?
   I dont think i would carry on using it at that price.

4. If it came up in conversation, do you think you'd recommend Clinique's Turnaround Overnight Radiance Moisturizer? If so, why? If not, why not?
   I dont think i would recommend it because there is nothing special about it, just the high price
