the same thing happened to me!!!! I used to have like the best skin in the world, no acne no red spots just nothing, but because I never really used something for cleaning my skin I thought ok I have to buy something and the clinique 3 step care system will probably be the best.... but it was horrible!!!!! I broke out like sooooo bad!!!! I didn't know myself anymore when I looked in the mirror! horrible!!! I think I never did something worse for my face and my skin than this clinique stuff!!!
@StephalliJane23 yes i dislike the basic package that you get with level 2, in fact i think the 3 step is overly basic and ineffective,
i still like clinique i use their alcohol free toner, and the mild liquid soap, and only moisturizer when my skin is actually dry or the gel one for the antioxidants it provides
hi I purchased the 3 step clinique 3 days ago (£46 starter pack) and had a very bad reaction to it on the 3rd day. I'm just glad I got a refund!. My toner was level 2 because I have sensitive skin and it was soo harsh that my face is now very itchy, red blochy face, It looks like I have BURNS to my face, very harsh stuff. I now am applying germaline, antiseptic cream to calm down the rash that I now have!
I don't recommend this to any one...ALL I CAN SAY THAT IT WAS LIKE ACID IN MY FACE :(
the same thing happened to me !! i broke out alot more then ever ! i didnt have an allergic reaction thoee. i thought that it would work for me too. i been using clinique for a week now. & right now i have sooo many pimples on my forehead. idk if i should still use it. & proactive doesnt work for me either. I dont think anything will work for me. advice ?
@kaydadollx3 hmmm ok so like i said it takes 30 days for your skin to become accostomed to a new product. So if you're using Clinique then continue using it for 30 days, and if it doesn't work then switch. It didn't work for me, but you never know it might work for you. I'm still trying out different products so i can't really say one that i think is fantastic, but you just have to experiment with your skin. I hope that helps =)
The reason why you skin got really bad is becasue it is pushing all of the bactria to the surface which it stars getting more clear after about 2 months. Thats great that proactiv works for you but I dont know ANYONE that it has worked for. I am using the Clinique and my skin is breaking out alot more than before but thats becasue they are pushing all of the bactria!
@HausofBeauty it's true that it pushes out the bacteria, and I realize that. However, it it takes more than 30 days for the skin to clear up that means that it's not working. So for me it didn't work, but i'm glad that it works for you.
im so surprised Proactiv worked for you.... eveery person i know who uses it says it doesnt work for them... and it didnt work for me either. but i guess it depends on each person
sweat is NOT good for skin and in fact you must shower immediatly after working out. your skin was clear because you were not washing your face. you MUST use clinique twice a day and stick with it. not only will you have no acne but you will have healthy skin and your skin will thank you for it when you are older. IT works for EVERYONE with the right line for their skin type
sweat is actually good for your skin, because it pulls out the gunk that gets stored in your pores. The bacteria produced by sweat is whats not good for your skin, and yes you should wash your skin after you sweat. However, sweating in itself is not bad.
that is normal. it is supposed to make your skin worse before it gets better. It is truly DEEP cleaning your face and bringing the inside problems of your skin to the surface so it can treat it properly. you have to stick with it then your skin will thank you and you will never have better skin. it is HYPO allergenic. you need the acne clinique line
With most skin care lines, the skin usually begins to clear up again after thirty days, i used it longer than that, and my skin did not clear up and only continued to worsen. I'm glad that Clinique works for you, however, it did not work for me.

It was the sun. Sun, remarkably, clears up acne. I don't know why, it's weird.
