What we found

Context. The Clinique product page states the product 'provides 100 hours of stabilizing hydration,' but its testing covers only 19 and 27 women for the one-use results and does not report a 100-hour measurement.[4]

Context. The Clinique Australia page repeats the 100-hour claim and says 'most skin types notice a meaningful boost in lasting hydration,' which is manufacturer marketing rather than independent evidence of a 100-hour duration.[5]

Context. The 2025 Vogue review says a dermatologist described the product as 'clinically proven' to provide 100 hours of continuous hydration, but this repeats the brand's claim and cites no test data.[6]

Context. The fact-checking organization and cosmetics-index pages in the sources do not address Moisture Surge or its 100-hour claim.[1][2][3][7]
