Review: I don't get the hype!
Beauty product: 1 Stars

I have MILDLY sensitive skin..at least I did before I tried the 3 step program which included the mild soap and the 2 clarifying lotion.

All seemed well with world for about a week...then all heck broke loose. I broke out in welts on my chin and nose....painful, dry and burning. I know it was due to the soap and toner.

The lady at the Clinique counter "convinced" me that I needed to stick with the soap and switched me to the mild toner.

The issue just compounded.

The soap is WAY too drying. This is the gimmick: you use the soap which supposedly "loosens the glue that holds dead skin cells to your face".. HUH?? Then you use their toner (may as well use straight Vodka) to wipe away the loose cells. Then, after your face is totally in shock, you slap on moisturizer than never actually sinks into your skin; it just settles on top, leaving a waxy feel and shine. I may as well have taken a candle and rubbed it on my face! I warned everyone not to light a match near me; I may go up in flames from the alcohol or melt from the waxy buildup.

So I stopped using it all.....went to the doctor who INSISTED I use them again. So I did, this time getting the liquid version of the soap.

Within 2 days, I had a million itchy bumps on my forehead and the welts began to appear again. I also had dry itchy eyes. I ended up returning it all and switching to Perscriptives Comfort line. Now I TRUELY have sensitive skin because of these "allergy tested, dermatologist recommended" products.

Look at the ingredients...for one thing, Clinique does not list them online and are very reluctant to give out when you call....and I noticed that EVERY time I bought the products at Nordstroms, the Clinique ladies CONVENIENTLY put their receipt-free return label RIGHT OVER THE INGREDIENTS on the packaging!

Most people I know either never had good luck with the 3 step regime, or did at first, but not over time.
