Advantages: Can be a fantastic moisturiser Disadvantages: works best as part of a three step system
I was first introduced to Clinique products about four years ago. Up until leaving college I had always used Boots simple range or something similar for most of my skin care products. I have extremely sensitive skin and am allergic to any facial products which contain perfume. I was quite happy with the Simple products but was always keen to try new products. About Clinique

Until then I had been using Vitamin E moisturiser from The Body Shop for years. I have sensitive skin and had to change to this after their Jojoba Moisturiser started to contain lanolin, which my skin does not like.

You might want to ask for a sample at the counter and they would probably give/sell you a small one. Otherwise,
plastic 50ml tube is £15.00, a £50 ml bottle at £15.00,
or 125ml bottle at £26.00. There is also a 125ml pump action bottle at £27, although I avoid pump action products due to experience of wastage - you may feel differently. Altogether, more expensive than ...

...correctly. As with all the Clinique range, the quality is such that you never need very much of anything. The beauty of this face cream is that it is so similar to the skin's natural oils that it cannot irritate even the most sensitive of skins and evens out any skin type from dry to oily to different all over. I have very dry skin, so I always use this as a 'first coat'.

It is very lightweight and sinks in without trace. I have had a much clearer complexion since using this product. It may be due to other factors too, but I'd rather not tempt fate by doing without it just to test the theory! My only reservation is the packaging. I absolutely love the stylish look of the clear container, shiny top and simple graphics but it's just not practical! Have ...

...Now trying to find a Clinique moisturiser is not easy. For a start, they have lots of products which look like they might be moisturiser. A flippant, throwaway line to Miss Gatwick Boredom (2001) that “It’s so hard to decide which moisturiser to try” resulted in the said young lady perking up considerably that someone actually wanted to talk about her products and offering me a bit of help.

Then i tried Clinique Dramatically Different. A large bottle retails at around £27 which, gasp, is just too much for something that whilst soothed my skin temporarily, doesn't make much difference.

I think Clinique as a brand has some decent products but i don't think they live up to the hype quite as much (i have Clinique cosmetics and find them no different to other brands).
