Well, the question pretty much says it all, but I was wondering also how quickly you got results and what the cost was per bottle roughly? I've been using the Clinique 3-Step plan and I don't feel that it's particularly made a difference - I have oily skin which can be prone to breakouts - so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a clinical aesthetician (skin care specialist) at a medi-spa and I sell and use Dermalogica products in my treatments. I specialize in acne/oily skin and I've used SEVERAL product lines. You should try Dermalogica AntiBac Wash. It's an antibacterial cleanser that lathers and foams. Use it morning and night. If your skin gets oily and shiny throughout the day, try Oil Control Lotion. Skin Prep Scrub is also good to remove dead skin cells and exfoliate the skin. If you're worried about aging and wrinkles, Gentle Cream Exfoliant it also good.
I don't have anything against Clinique, but consider this: ladies at the Clinique counter are trained to sell Clinique products; whereas an aesthitician is trained in skin care and how to help clients achieve the results they want.
Give Dermalogica a try. Try the cleanser and exfoliant for one month. Be aware that you may have a little bit of a breakout because Dermalogica products are designed to provide long lasting results and will bring some oil up to the surface of your skin the first couple of weeks. Dermalogica also has a makeup line. I would suggest you also try that. Whatever you decide, make sure you're using an oil free liquid foundation and loose powder. Wash your face and neck twice a day and use an exfoliant every other day. Also try Dermalogica AntiBac Cooling Gel. It's an antibacterial masque that will help sooth irritated blemish-prone skin while helping to prevent future breakouts. Good luck!

I used to use them but then found a few estheticians who said you can't expect one product to fix all people's skin. No two people are alike. My facial lady makes special products just for me, I have dry skin so she uses a base cream and adds more moisturizer for me. If someone else has oily, she adds something different. If you have some money to spend I would suggest looking for someone who does that or for a dermatologist who can recommend something else. I also like Biotherm products, the main ingredient is water - not alcohol like others. They made my skin great.

My husband uses Dermalogica and he really likes it. His skin looks good and isn't as oily as it used to be.
I'm not sure of the price but I know it is expensive.
Me, I use Clean and Clear and I love it! It's much cheaper than Dermalogica and my skin is flawless (I get compliments often, but I think it's mostly heredity, not anything I do).

i have used it. i got it from my aunt who works at a skin care. i'm guessing it costs around 15-20 dollars at the most. i think it's just like any other face wash, if you wash correctly, it will work. i used it though and it feels great afterward. so you should give it a try. hope this helped...
