Clinique 3 step system

So guys, let's talk face wash.
or more exacly, Clinique 3 step system.


Liquid Facial Soap
Clinically formulated cleansing—that’s how great skin starts. Clinique’s dermatologists believe soap is best. Our non-drying formula maintains protective lipids. Works to loosen surface flakes. Leaves skin feeling fresh, clean, comfortable—perfectly prepped for the exfoliating action of Clarifying Lotion. Custom-fit to skin type in Very Dry to Dry, Dry Combination and Combination Oily/Oily skin formulas.

Clarifying Lotion 3
Exfoliation is the engine of skin renewal. Why Clinique’s dermatologist-developed Clarifying Lotion is the difference-maker. It releases dulling surface flakes to reveal clearer, smoother skin—perfectly prepped for moisture. Optimizes cell turnover. Uncovers skin’s natural radiance. A gentle “tingle” tells you it’s working. Custom-fit to skin type in Mild, Very Dry to Dry, Dry Combination, Combination Oily and Oily Skin formulas.

Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel
Now, Clinique's finest moisture "drink" is available in a refreshing gel. This lightweight, oil-free gel formula works to soften, smooth and improve. Step 3 in our 3-Step Skin Care System of cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize to bring skin to that famous Clinique glow.


so from the information above, that i got from the clinique website, these products sounds amazing, doesn't it?
well not really.

for the first week, i started to break out a little more than i usually do.
but after 2 weeks my face was almost clear.
unfortuantly, that was a far as it went on clearing my acne.

when i had used the products for about 4 to 5 weeks, the products just suddenly stopped working for me.
pimples started to come back, and i got a big breakout . . great

and do i even have to say that this was very expensive. i paid 600 kr ( around 100 dollars ) for three products, which only 2 were full size.

the cleanser was ok, didn't hate it but didn't like it.
btw: don't get it in your eyes, stings like hell.

the toner was ehhh, well it didn't really suck, but it wasn't either ok.
sometimes it stinged my face, and it reeked of chemicals.

the mouisturizer was the best of all the product. since at that time i had very oily skin, it was very helpfull for my skin. I did get oily later after some hours, but it was better than it used to be.
sometimes to little mouister for your face.

all in all, i will give this a
 3 out of 6
