Clinique 3 Step Skin Care Review

So I ordered Clinique's 3 Step Skin Care system approximately 2 weeks ago and I've been using it ever since in order to give a full, detailed review over it. If you go to Clinique's website (www.clinique.com), there is a quiz link on the main page at the top (My Skin Consultation). There, you can answer a few questions and they will generate the best results for your skin type. My personal result was Very Dry. They have different customizable sets for all skin types (even if you are acne prone, which I am not) but these products are for dry skin. If you have a different skin type, these items may not work well for you.



The first product I use is the Liquid Facial Soap. I use about 2 pumps and apply it to my face and my neck. When it's washed off, it leaves my face feeling soft, supple and fully hydrated. The consistency of the Liquid Facial Soap is thin, almost runny, but it tends to work very well to where you feel like you don't need a moisturizer.




The second step is the Clarifying Lotion. This is a toner, which I tend to stay away from since toners tend to dry my skin out even more than usual however this claims to be a hydrating toner. It also exfoliates your skin without you having to wash it off. You saturate a cotton ball with the product and apply it to the face and neck. It does not leave my skin dry at all. In fact, it hydrates just like it claims. You know it's working because there is all sorts of dirt, bacteria, and traces of leftover makeup in the cotton ball. You let it dry on your skin for a few seconds before moving on to the 3rd and last step.




The last step is the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. You do not need much of this product at all. I use two squirts of this item and it covers my face and neck. This lotion is not sticky, it doesn't leave residue and it leaves your skin softer than how the first two products leave it.

I may have only been using it for about a week and a half but I can tell it is doing amazing things to my skin. It is hydrated throughout the day and my makeup goes on smoother. My skin tone appears more even (pre-foundation). I definitely give this system 2 thumbs up. The retail price runs about $50. I know it may be a tad expensive for your face but seeing as I am on camera every week posting YouTube videos, it is a necessity.
