Clinique Skin Care

Has anyone tried this?

Another random, unimportant topic!

I got given some samples and from what I can tell it is essentially 100% chemicals. I tried some today but I must say I was disappointed and felt quite reluctant to try it given the list of chemicals. I thought clinique was a fancy expensive brand but I don't see what is fancy about all those parabens etc. The samples I got are supposidly mild but my skin has gone a little red in places and doesn't feel comfe.

I use their skin smoother make up and powder- which I find really good. I also use their UV response facial sunscreen, a pore minimiser refiner and shine controller. I find them brilliant for my skin (hence why I pay the ridiculous prices!)- but like any brand I think it totally depends on the person & their skin type. I react badly to anything from Lancome or Estee Lauder so I just steer clear of them.

If its going red and uncomfortable I wouldn't recommend it!

did you get the mild one for sensitave skin? Perhaps it really isn't for you. My sis has to use 2 different brands for her 3 step as the toner just doesn't work for her skin.

oh, thats good then, I thought you were like me and didn't use a thing (yes, I know naughty of me, but I do now!). Dermalogica is meant to be really good though!

I LOVE my Clinique stuff and although it is expensive I find you don't need to use much and it lasts a long time. If I was to change and try something else Dermalogica is the one I would try first.

IMO I think all the products you can buy over the counter are mostly chemicals...if you can't eat it, why put it on your skin as your skin soaks it up and it winds up going into your system one way or the other. I have been using this product...

linky

for awhile now, its affordable, natural, smells great, and doesn't have harsh chemicals in it...oh and it lasts ages. Prices are around $12 a bottle in NZ.

I used Clinique for a while, but have moved to something more natural as don't like all the chemicals in their products like you said, did find it good though, but prefer Living Nature products, everything is natural, and as a bonus is made in New Zealand, and the service from their webpage is awesome. You can get some samples sent out to you. www.livingnature.co.nz.

just a bit off the topic but can anyone recommend a good light foundation? my skin is really red and blotchy all the time and now Im gonna be working in a professional office again i really should make an effort with makeup but hate heavy obvious foundations yet need good coverage for the redness. what do you guys all use?

I use Revlon Skinlights... I like that one. May try something different next time - I just like that it is light as I hate the mask effect! *shudder*

Mac foundation is fantastic!
