Clinique 3 step system

Hey everyone, this is a quick review on my current skin care regime... :)

Back in August i went on holiday to Australia and i only took face wipes with me as i was planning on trying a new skin care regime out there. When i arrived in Sydney i stumbled upon a department store, Myer, and i was looking around and found the clinique stand, now in the past I'd tried their samples and found the regime interesting so i got matched up and bought the 3 step system, i was quite surprised that even though i have acne-prone skin i was matched to type 2 which is for normal skin but i was happy as this shouldn't' dry my skin out.

It has now been 3 whole months of using the clinique 3 step system type 2, and I've actually stuck to the regime :O i know even i was impressed! I am one of those people who likes instant gratification, in other words I'm impatient! Well i have now come to learn you need to give it a couple of months so this was the prime time for me to review these products.

Packaging: Looks expensive, so thumbs up...
Product: I was immediately feeling positive and sort of stupid as I'd spent so much money on skin care, but hey i got over it and thought the more expensive it is maybe the better it works hmmm.. not always the case. So i tried it that evening and i liked the VERY clean feeling, but within days i had come up in these monstrosities on my face, the worst i had ever seen. I went back to the clinique counter and they said it was evidence the products were working so i fell for it and didn't get my money back.

After 2 weeks the painful spots had still not budged, however i had accumulated even more! Yes i could not believe it. So i went back again, and surprisingly i got told it was supposed to happen... so for the next 2 weeks making it a month, i carried on using the products hoping that it could only get better and I'm so glad i did, because i read many reviews that said once people had stopped using this line of skin care they got horrible spots.

Anywho thankfully after this first month they started to clear up, my skin was much more radiant, and cleaner, okay, not every pimple went but this isn't supposed to stop spots it's purely for normal skin so I'm happy, and i hate to tell you guys but the only thing i have found to clear up my spots is the dreaded daily 8 glasses of water but my god do i feel healthier :D

So one essay later hahaa, i hope this has helped x
