Gila Rojak: Clinique 1-2-3 Steps

Watching my BFF's facial complexion getting better after using Clinique (plus 2 of my friends are Clinique users), I was tempted to try them. I've tried using hers first, loving the clean and oil-free feeling which I failed to get using Loreal White Perfect..I immediately went and bought the large set of their 3-steps which cost me bloody RM343..Which is my fault..I should have bought the trial kit instead..

Mine is Type 3: Oily-combination skin

Liquid facial Soap:

Quite drying for my face. My skin feels tight after using it. After several months, I started to suffer serious breakouts starting from my forehead then spread to my cheeks. To my utmost horror, they even left dark scars on my face. I sought for explanation from the consultants. They claimed that this regime is cleansing toxins from our skins, that is why I suffered from breakouts. But the problem is, I don't suffer breakouts during the early times using Clinique. The acnes started to appear excessively after 3-4 months of usage. And the acnes are very persistent. Not even spot-treatment plus acne mask can help.

Clarifying Lotion:

My skin doesn't feels dry after using it. It does lift away dead skin cells as you can see yellowish stains on your cotton pad. Very refreshing. But I'm not really fond of its smell. Reek with alcohol.

Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel:

The best moisturizer. No heavy or oily feeling after applying it. It does moisturized my skin but at the same time I felt very comfortable on my oil-prone skin. It leave your skin smooth to the touch..Velvety feeling after applying it.Loving it!

Pros:

This 3-steps regime is REALLY worth of your money. Yes,you have to pay quite a lot for the first time, but with proper usage, these skincare can last around 1 year. As they claimed, you only pay RM1.62 per day..Their consultants are super friendly..They DO understand if you can't afford that particular product at that time. My favourite consultant is at Metrojaya Midvalley named Anis. They even give you lots of sample for you to try..No kidding..They have database system..If the products suit you, they will put them in your database..So if next time you have extra cash to buy for example, the Superfit foundation (which I love!), just refer to the database and you can immediately buy it without having to go through another painful (not literally) hours searching for the best shade.

Cons:

After 4 months using them with no signs of my pimples reducing (I've tried so many extra treatments!), I've concluded that Clinique is NOT suitable for me. I've to stop and continue back with Loreal White Perfect. My pimples drastically reduced (even without the extra treatments!) except for my dark scars.

I have leftover/used Clinique 3-Steps to let go..
