I am a loyal Clinique fan of many years, and have used the Repairwear Day SPF 15 and Repairwear Night creams for a few years now and now they have changed the Repairwear formula to one, no SPF, and it's "firming". The previous Repairwear felt cooling and soothing and very moisturizing. Now this firming one feels sticky, sort of rubbery and no cooling sensation. Don't think this is an improvement Clinique. I am now switching brands.

I like this product. I tend to use very aggressive skin care. Retinols at high percentages, Retin-A gel and Tazorac gel from the dermatologist as you need an Rx for them. I use 30% and 60% professional glycolic peels, stabalized Vitamin C and some peptides. There are occasions where my skin will get a bit tight and dry though I live in a very humid climate. I know the tolerance of my skin. When I'm feeling dehydration coming on I will use this cream at night for 2-5 days, giving my skin a break from all the actives which would also go on at night. This cream fits the bill to perfection. I will wake up with my skin feeling hydrated and velvety soft and comfortable. This effect (especially after a 5 timer with the Repairwear) will last me another 2-5 days of feeling comfortable and hydrated (even while not using the Repairwear.) It seems to have a cumulative effect after just a few nights use. I don't know of any other product which will do this in tandem with the rest of my aggressive treatments. I would imagine if someone used this consistently it would really build up benefits, though the benefits are higher for me with my regine. Repairwear is suppose to hydrate and firm as a night cream (especially when combined with Repairwear w/SPF for day and Repairwear foundation. It fits the bill for which I use it. I enjoy it's consistency and the way it sets/penetrates. I like the way my skin looks and feel after application and in the morning. It's concentrates and has great slip so a small bit goes a long way as I go very long between repurchases of it. It has no fragrance. It just really does what I need it to do as a substitution for my regular regime: Hydrates and comforts so I may restart the aggressive treatments. I've tried the Zero Gravity Lift version of it and do not like that as much as this more simple cream. I've tried others which also were good to excellent, but I always come back to Repairwear!

I love this cream. The texture and how it moisturizes my skin but doesnt leave it greasy and i wake up with glowing skin. I would love to buy it again but i havent been able to because if i remember right its about 45$....oh well.

as a new user of Made from Earth skin products, I will say so far I like their Olive Night Creme. In the winter I need a moisture, but I use organic oils as well...

This night cream is nice and thick, but not greasy with a light natural aroma. It has even helped to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on my forehead.

I'm still on my mission to find my HG night cream. And this is not it. It is rich and moisturizing as I like it....just lacks that "something." Doesn't benefit me, doesn't add a glow, doesn't even my skin tone. Just "is." I will finish the jar and will not repurchase.

I too see a difference with the Repairwear products: a brighter, smoother, more refined look, plus this is a good product for a dry climate. Just ordered the extra-dry version too.

Not sure what it has that transforms my skin. I always come back to this moisturizer and it's always worked for me. My skin glows and my complexion changes for the better.

This night cream was working well moisturizing my skin but after a month I started getting dry patches. I have very dry skin especially during the winter months.

At first i didn't really like this cream i recieved as a bonus gift. It's very thick in consistancy. I used this product sometimes at night and did not seem to break me out. However i have found this night cream provides me with great protection in the winter here in Finland. Much better than the lumene cream i had used previously. I currently switched to Lancome's hydra zen , and this repairwear cream on my cheeks when i go outside and its been much better for my skin. I still like lumene cream for more basic creams, but this works much better for my sensitive and breakout prone skin for these winter months. I would also recommend it as a night cream if you need extra something hydrating but works great as a protecting cream.

I have been a Clinique customer for years and years and years. Their products are very good typically but not the ABSOLUTE best! But...I like the consistency and quality control of a well-known brand. I tried Repairwear Intensive Nighttime (dry-to-very dry) when it first came out and keep going back to it. It goes on nicely, does a great job of moisturizing and isn't heavy. I use it alone and not on top of 3 step (just cleansed skin), and I'm getting pretty good results. People complement on my complexion often so I must be doing something right. If you want a good product and a very decent price from a consistently high rated company, this is for you!

I'm making this review in behalf of my mum (in her mid 50s). Her skin is the whole year pretty dry, sensitive and she also has several capillaries that she removes many times with laser.
Anyway, this is the only thing she has been using for 15 years and her skin is marvellous! I mean no retinoids, no acids, just Clinique wash, Estee Lauder toner and this cream (night and day cream). Only in summer she tries to use night version of this cream + better protection (like City Block).
She adores Repairwear line that she tried to use Repairwear foundation, but with not so much success (but that is a different story:-))
Anyway, both creams (day and night) have great ingredients (also both have retinol!), but they are jar packaged so we actually don't know how long those ingredients stay fresh.
All in all - I give it 4 for price (these creams are in Europe 100€!) and 4 for jar packaging.
But otherwise I would (and she would) suggest all dry skinned people to try it out! Hope it would be your HG as well:-)

On the plus side, this was indeed one of the most terrifically moisturizing night creams I've found, and I woke up without a flaky patch on me. On the minus side, I found myself with a giganto-zit. I haven't had a substantial zit in about five years. Close, but no.

I got this in a generous-sized gift with purchase. I never would have tried it if I hadn't, but I'm really pleased with the product. I don't think I really need the anti-aging benefits, this cream claims to have, but I don't really use it for that, so I can't really speak to that aspect of it.

I do love it as a generic night moisturizer, though. I have really dry skin and this cream moisturizes it without feeling heavy or greasy; it has a really lightweight texture that still seems to pack a lot of moisture. When I wake up my skin is ultra soft, and all the moisturizer is absorbed.

I'm not sure I'll shell out the rather hefty pricetag for this, once I get through my gift with purchase tub. I've never really used a night specific moisturizer, so I think I'll shop around for another night cream before committing to this one, as much as I like it. I imagine ones that don't claim to have anti-aging benefits would be much cheaper, but still provide heavy the duty moisture I like in this cream, and that's all I feel I need at this stage in my life.

Been using this for a week and I'm very impressed so far. It hasn't stood the test of time yet so I'm only giving it 4 lippies for the moment. Will update if I think it deserves more (or fewer). My skin is lovely and smooth, even-toned and plump the morning after using this, and the fairly deep-set lines I have in my cheeks (from dimples when I smile) are almost invisible! No other anti-aging product I've tried has done this. It's a heavy cream, so sorts out my dry skin, and hasn't caused any breakouts or flakey patches so far. Possibly an awesome cream if it carries on performing this well...I don't normally like Clinique and I got this as a free sample.

I find that this product works great for my skin. I have dry and oily areas, and only apply the cream around my eyes and mouth area (the dryer areas) where lines are noticeable. When I put it on, it is a little heavy, however in the morning, my face looks refreshed and moisturized. The nights when i skip this product, my face looks worn and dry the next day. I have already bought this product again and recommend it if you have dryer skin.

I am still on the line for this product. I have used it a couple times but I think my skin has a subtle reaction to it. I have very sensitive skin but not acne-prone. I have sensitive skin as in eczema. Any product that makes me itch makes me breakout in eczema. I think it may have caused a small reaction, but it could have happened from something else. I put it in my fridge, too!! I don't think I will repurchase, my Comfort on Call is way better. I will just use Repairwear on my body and not my face!

Got this in a GWP, thank goodness I didn't pay for it. The first time I tried this cream my face felt so uncomfortable and itchy that it was like a burning sensation, it even gave me some redness, which is not an habitual problem for me. A few months after, I gave it a second try as a day cream when I was staying home; it broke me out so badly than I still have the tattle-tale pimples on my forehead :(

I got this in a GWP. I have dry, sensitive skin. This is a white gel cream with no scent. I have been using it as a night cream and it's been just great for my skin. I wake up in the morning with soft moisturized skin. I will buy a full size jar when I run out.

i got this for free during clinique bonus time, so can't complain =)

it's too heavy for my combination skin, and i broke out from using it =\

i would say that it's more suited for dry skin ... but after using it at night .. and washing it off in the morning, my face still feels dry ... so i don't find this particularly effective

If you are looking to put grease on your face, get this, it won't disappoint! Thank goodness this was a GWP. I have dry skin and even then this product is way too oily and as a result after using this for 2 days it made my skin breakout. My skin doesn't absorb this at all, it just leaves a layer of grease on my face.

I'm not sure what's wrong with the consistency of this cream but you can't really pick up any product running your finger across the surface like you would normally with any type of cream that's in a jar. So it's a pain even to use it.
