I used to use clinique over 15 years ago, but stopped due to it not addressing my skin issues (I don't know why I decided to give it another go-probably couldn't resist the offer in boots as well as double points!)

The clinique assistant was very friendly and explained the application procedure clearly. The main point was that the toner should only be swept once across face, and the cream used sparingly.

Unfortunately, this did not work well for my skin; inl fact, I believed it became even drier. I continued using it over 2 and a half weeks- still no improvement.

When I went back to the store to ask for advice, I was told that the moisturizer is just a simple cream and that I would need to apply a richer cream on top to get the results I wanted!

That made my decision-i will use the much better skincare I used a year ago..at least the one bottle will do the job, and I won't have the added expense!

Yes it's the third step. I used the soap, toner then the lotion. It appears (confirmed by the clinique consultant) that it is a basic lotion and I would need to apply a richer cream over it if skin is still dry (my skin is not excessively dry, just dry on cheeks and forehead, which is why I expected the 3 step regime to work). I don't think it contains lanolin

I'm a little confused as to the product you are reviewing and exactly what it was supposed to do ~ it appears from the name to be one of three products designed to be used together (in 3 steps?) ~ however, to know that it was not a help to you is certainly helpful. . . does it contain lanolin? . . . ♥ jes ♥
