I've been using this skin care for about 4-5 months now, and it is the Clinique 3 Step Skin Care System. I cant express how much i love this product. It's just perfection in bottles.
At first i was a bit hesitant to try it, especially the fact that in indonesia the price is almost three times the US price. But then, i search tons of reviews about it for around 2 weeks and i finally convinced by Blair's review (read my other post about youtube star). There are 3 steps:
1. Cleanse
2. Exfoliate
3. Moisturize
Clinique 3 step skin care system has 4 levels, you can test your skin on a clinique counter, or on the website. (i'm number 3)
Level 1: Very dry to dry skin (all over your skin is dry)
Level 2: Dry Combination (your T-zone is oily, your cheeks is drier but still needs to be moisturized)
Level 3: Oily Combination (your T-zone is oily, your cheeks is drier but comfortable without a moisturizer)
Lever 4: Very Oily (all over your skin is oily)
Products included:
Level 1: Extra Mild Facial Soap, Toner no.1 (green), & Dramatically different moisturizing lotion
Level 2: Mild Facial Soap, Toner no. 2 (purple), Dramatically different moisturizing lotion
Level 3: Oily Skin Facial Soap, Toner no.3 (pink), Dramatically different moisturizing gel
Level 4: Oily Skin Facial Soap, Toner no,4 (blue), Dramatically different moisturizing lotion
I love this skin care system. It very very refreshing and cleared up my skin pretty well. When i wash my face my skin feels a little tight (that's because it dries up my skin a bit), then i apply the toner which is super super refreshing (if you have a sensitive skin the clarifying lotion might be hell for you because it hurts when it touches an active breakout or pimple. You can get the clarifying moisture lotion which is an 100% free alcohol toner. The regular ones are alcohol based toner). I used to use the clarifying moisture lotion but, first it cost extra, second it didn't exfoliate my skin at all since there's no alcohol in it. It's too mild for me, so i switched to clarifying lotion instead. The third step is to moisturize, because hey, oily skin need to be moisturized too you know. The gel is so so great, i even heard people with dry skin really love it. It is officially the best moisturizer i have ever tried.
For an extra exfoliation i use the Clinique 7 Day Scrub which a very very gentle, cream based scrub. It's good for any skin type, but has to be followed with the 3 step.
Overall:
(+)
- Fragrance fee
- Not tested on animals
- Safe for sensitive skin
(-)
- Alcohol based product might harm some skin types
- Takes a while before your skin become clear
