Product Placement

Now....I'm not one to rave about things, unless I absolutely adore them. It's been 1 day and I absolutely adore these products!!!



Last year, just about the time I had finished a battle with a beast named Donna, I began to experience what most would have experienced in their teens. I chalked it up to stress. I continued to wash my face, everyday with my cleanser, use a scrub 2x a week, and a mask once a week and eventually got over my stress. Well, I just kept having breakouts. It became more and more frustrating, because I was doing everything I could. So I forked over $80 for a facial and the esthetician told me that I had oily skin. I was shocked, because I had always had sensitive, dry skin. I was happy with the facial and I bought some oil free products and waited for my skin to begin to renew itself. No such luck. I had one, that apparently was 3 in one and decided to stick around for 2 months and then I had a zillion white bumps pop up all over my chin and cheek area. I was sooo frustrated. I had looked at and used a million different cleansers and couldn't figure out what to get.
I had used Clinique before and had loved their 3-Step system, but it was a bit expensive for me so I put it off. Yesterday I finally went in to go buy some. I headed to Macys because I had a gift card that I needed to use, so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity. I went and talked to the esthetician and she began to do a skin analysis. HALLELUJAH!!! I explained what had been going on with my face and that I was just recently told that I had oily skin. Well she tested and she said I definitely do not have oily skin and that there was no reason that I should be breaking out or have those white bumps on my face. She noted that my forehead, chin and nose were extremely dehydrated and that what had happened was when my skin began to dry out, it trapped all that junk under the new skin that formed and it began to spread.
The wonderful lady that was working that day, started cleansing my face to take off my make up and then began with the Turn Around-Instant Facial. Then she began to cleanse my face with Acne Solutions Clear Skin Kit. Right away, the white bumps started to reduce and some even disappeared. I used it again last night and this morning and the majority of the little white bumps have vacated the premises. It does sting and burn a little, but it's not harsh in any way....you're face will be red for a little while, but that will disappear in about 10-20 min after cleansing. I have been reconverted!!! THANK YOU CLINIQUE, for making me feel like I wasn't going crazy and THANK YOU for clearing up my skin! You have a customer for life!

Beckie! I love this stuff too. It's been a while since I've bought any (I'm wayyyy too cheap) but you can usually get it on ebay from a credible seller for about 50% off of retail.

My skin is allergic to everything and breaks out so easily so I use Cetaphil all the time now - it's fabulous too.

Glad you found a fabulous product!
