Clinique 3-Step Skincare System Step 1 (Cleanse) x Little Liquid Facial Soaps (Oily Skin)

Advantages: Works, Looks Nice, Great Results
Disadvantages: Expensive, Uses Some Controversial Ingredients

...regime is the basis of the Clinique range; it consists of a cleanser (facial soap) toner/liquid exfoliator (clarifying lotion) and moisturiser (dramatically different moisture lotion/gel). Each of these products can be ordered in different strengths for different skincare needs e.g. extra mild facial soap for people with sensitive skin. All of them have been created by dermatologists Facial Soap This comes in three strengths (extra mild, mild and oily) and two solutions (soap bar and liquid facial soap). The bar comes with a nifty little green sliding 'tub' which allows the soap to stay hygienic and clean, whilst the liquid is bought in a more conventional pump action bottle.

Disadvantages: the price the moisturizer

The product: Clinique three step sells itself as ‘three minutes, twice a day’ to get better skin. It involves first washing your face with a liquid soap, then using a type of cleanser/toner liquid on a cotton wool pad and finally moisturizing using their ‘dramatically different’ hydrating gel. These three products definitely enhance the sophisication of your bathroom in their classy green, pink and yellow hues, but even more importantly they seem to work! They come in different ‘strengths’ depending on your skin... Read review
