So I’ve been using Clinique’s 3-Step system for probably over a month now. I just want to let it be known that I do have some adult acne and I’m well aware that this system is not intended to treat that. My skin is very strange in that I have the acne but it tends to dry out very easily so it’s very hard for me to find something that won’t dry me out but will have an effect on the acne. I was using Neutrogena facewash twice a day without moisturizer (hard to find one that doens’t break me out). But my skin is so rough when I use it. I’ve been using it for years though because it’s just so frustrating spending all that money on products that won’t work. I believe my acne is hormonally driven so I’ve come to the conclusion that I may never find anything that works because it’s not treating the root cause.
Anyway, I decided to try this in the travel size. I sarted with a number two, step two but have since switched to a number three because I didn’t feel like it was cutting the oil enough. I still break out on a daily basis. Nothing has really changed as far as that goes. I’m thinking about switching again to a number four because I still get pretty oily. Some things that have changed is my skin is oilier but I don’t get that flakiness by the end of the day. Also makeup application is smoother. I noticed right away when I forgot to follow the last two steps the other day. My skin is not nearly as rough as it once was. I don’t know if it’s worth the money that I’m paying right now but I think about how much I could be spending just on trying other things. I am contemplating on trying Clinique’s Acne Solutions system. I’m just just worried it will be too drying.
