I bought the Clinique three step system II for Dry/Combination skin because I wanted to try something different! What a mistake my face broke out badly!!! One the lotion is not oil-free... Dry skin or not talk about clogging my pores. Im a licensed stylist and never used a product that was such a waste of money as this! Not to mention once the three step system wasnt working I even bought their acne cleanser and that didnt help! Im 23 years old and never had bconstant acne until now (since using Clinique) . I tried asking my bf's sister if she wanted all the leftover product I have and she said that Clinique made her break out badly too... Now I switched products and have to put my face through more hell till it clears! Anyone else have this experience?

Clinique had done a wonderful job of marketing their brand as something specifically for troubled or sensative skin. It's a gimmick.
I've never liked their products, but I've had customers who are terrorfied to use anything else because they swear Clinique is something magical. It's like a cult following.

I used to go to school with a girl who claimed that the powder foundation from Clinique made her break out. She must have handled the spots/pimples around her chin badly, beause she was left with deep scars, too. I guess that Clinique has some ingredients in it that doesn't agree with everyone. I have oily skin myself, but so far have never had problems using their Dramatically Different Moisurizer.
My mother, the skin queen, tells me that switching from one complete line of skincare products to another, all at once, sometimes has adverse effects on sensitive skin, as though it goes into shock, so to speak... perhaps introducing one product at a time, over a period of time, may be a good procedure for you, as it sounds like you've got very delicate skin.
Good luck!!!

I've used clinique for greasy epidermis. The liquid stuff was once the crimson colour and that i aslo bough the bar of soap, moisturizer and zits mask. It fairly didn't do a lot for me. The only thing i appreciated was the moisturizer. Some moisturizers are likely to over moisturize leaving your epidermis oily and even enhance extra acne. I are living in wisconsin so my skin dries out in the iciness time. I use the clinique moisturizer like 2x a week. The opposite products din't do so much. Oh and incidentally its particularly high priced. If you need to check out clinique be prepared to spend 60 greenbacks or extra. Unless you buy the travel sizes which can be a rip off. I tries every pimples product and i went bavk to my historical product...Clearsil everyday face wash.

i've got used clinique for vivid epidermis. the liquid stuff grew to become into the pink shade and that i aslo bough the bar of cleansing soap, moisturizer and zits mask. it truly did no longer do lots for me. the only element i cherished grew to become into the moisturizer. some moisturizers tend to over moisturize leaving your epidermis oily or maybe strengthen greater zits. i stay in wisconsin so my epidermis dries out interior the wintry climate time. i take advantage of the clinique moisturizer like 2x each and every week. the different products din't do lots. oh and through ways its truly costly. in case you want to attempt clinique be arranged to spend 60 money or greater. except you purchase the holiday sizes that are a rip off. i tries each and every zits product and that i went bavk to my previous product...clearsil each and every day face wash.

Sorry to hear about that but no, I haven't experienced this but it is a little bit perfumed and it depends on the type of skin you have. It's not Clinique's fault really, it's just a matter of finding what's best for you.
Good luck!

I have used their Sport foundation....stays on good and doesn't rub off on your clothes......no signs of break outs.
I can only use it though in winter time for they don't have a summer color to match my skin tone when I am at my darkest shade

I have had the same problem. All it did for me was make my face break out even more!! Now i use cetaphil. It seems to be helping.
GOOD LUCK
