Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer W/ SPF 15 Vs. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion

“Is bigger better?” This debate has raged from Biblical times into the present day and despite my best intents, will probably continue past the reading of this article. If you don’t remember that being in the Bible check out the story of David and Goliath. In this case we’re comparing the bigger name and the bigger price tag of Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion with Aveeno’s Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer.

To be fair and make sure that the products are similar, or what’s the use in comparing them, let’s examine their claims according to each company’s website. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion: “…maintain optimal moisture balance for very dry skins, or skins dry in the cheeks, comfortable to oily in the T-zone. Softens, smoothes and improves.” Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer: “…even out skin tone, improve skin texture, and leave skin soft and smooth…even good for sensitive skin.” So far, so good. Both products are aimed at skin that is a bit problematic due to dryness or sensitivity and are offering to improve skin texture through their product.
