I recently decided to make an effort looking after my skin and whatnot, as I tend to be prone to blemishes after a few late nights: a few days of unhealthy food and a few days of supreme amounts of caffeine. Which, it has to be said; are frequent occurrences!
I went in search of a solution; an found myself looking at the vast amount of skin products: displayed on the shelves in 'Boots'. I was getting immensely disheartened at my inability to find something suitable, despite the sheer volume of products: until a friendly 'Clinique' sales assistant approached me! After explaining my needs, she recommended 'Clinique anti-blemish solutions'.

'Clinique anti-blemish solutions' is cleansing foam; recommended to those who have blemish prone skin. It works by removing impurities, makeup etc thus preventing blemishes. It is allergy tested, 100 % fragrance free and is none irritating - grand for those with sensitive skin.
It is sold in a small, turquoise/green pastel coloured bottle, containing 125 ml of liquid. The bottle is very plain yet classy (see pictures): sporting the silver Clinique logo and providing minimal information on the container, explaining its purpose and instructions of use.
Clinique recommend that this product be used nightly. We are instructed to use our hands: to work the foam over wet skin, avoiding eyes: and then rinse well. The product can have adverse effects, dryness or irritation (hmmm; but they said earlier it was none irritating?) - if dryness does occur, it is recommended that you reduce usage.
'Clinique anti-blemish solutions' can be bought for £13 from any chemist that is licensed to sell Clinique products (very posh!!!), most large 'Boots' stores tend to sell it.

On first using the product; I found the packaging very good quality; a thick, sturdy; upright plastic bottle. It has a funky squirty thing on the top, which, when pressed: converts the liquid in the inside: into foam when it reaches outside. The packaging is also pleasing on the eye: with its subtle, pleasant pastel colour.
The foam itself; does actually have a fragrance, despite their claims of there being none. I would describe it as a very inoffensive, mild minty fresh smell. There is a good lather to the foam; I would say that two squirts is plenty; to generously wash your face with.
After usage: my face felt, clean, fresh and healthy. There was no dryness or irritation; merely the feeling of appropriate amount of moisture. Since the day I started to use 'Clinique anti-blemish solutions' I have been practically blemish free. As an added bonus, my skin looks decidedly healthier and happier.
I have been using this product daily for just over a month so far and I have not yet used half the bottle; therefore my prediction would be that the one bottle would last two and a half months before you need to replenish it.
I don't really have any significant bad words' to say about this product; your face can feel a little over moisturised if your over zealous with the amount you use. Also, there are no listed active ingredients on the bottle - which if you have allergies could be a little annoying.
Comparative to other products of a similar intent; this product is a little steep in price. However, its not an excessive amount to pay for a product that you can rely on. I don't begrudge Clinique my hard earned £13.
I can quite categorically say: that this product more than impresses me; and I quite happily recommend it to you all!
