I have tried most products from the Clinique range in my quest for my holy grail product including the following, that i either bought foolishly, or had with a gwp.

Cleansers -
Clinique Wash Away Gel
(Combination/Oily Skin)
Clinique Rinse Off Foaming Cleanser (All Skin Types)
Clinique Comforting Cream Cleanser (Very Dry/Sensitive Skin)
Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover (All Skin Types)

All the cleansers i tried, made my skin feel worse not better, and the word paint stripper comes to mind.

Toners
Clinique Clarifying Lotion Mild (Very Dry/Sensitive Skin)
Clinique Clarifying Lotion 1 (Dry/Sensitive Skin)
Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 (Normal Skin)

What bit of normal skin the cleanser left me with, the toner finished off.

Moisturisers/conditioning products
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion
Clinique Turnaround Cream (Normal/dry Skin)
Clinique UV Response Face Cream SPF 30

Clinique City Block Sheer SPF15 £12.50
Clinique Almost Makeup SPF 15 £11.50

The moisture products were much too rich for my skin and i broke out into spots.

The only products from this range i would buy again, are the last two products which i have priced. Most of the products from this range i have bought from my local Debenhams, but i now use this website for any further Clinique purchases. www.slapiton.tv.com which incidentaly, doesnt charge for delivery.

The skincare items are of good quality, but they are not suitable for temperamental skin types.

Yes, Clinique stuff gives you the impression of luxury but face moisturisers I have used usually end up making my nose and cheeks peel. Still, most moisturisers I try do that, or work for a while then stop working. One product I would recommend is the deep comfort body cream. It smells nice and if you put it on after a bath, it locks in all the warmth by being so rich but not greasy at all. My sister is on a mission to get me some for Cristmas!
