Clinique more than minerals make up and mineral make up in general?

who uses which one? have you used clinique? what do you think? i have read on the internet that you need to avoid talc and bismuth oxychloride, but it seems that they all seem to have either one or both. Does anyone with rosacea have any issues with mineral make up? There is a site which shows some random websites doing mineral make up excluding the two above mentioned items, are they worth trying?|||I use Mineral Powder by Mary Kay. It's a lot cheaper than Bare Minerals but works just as well. I love it!|||I love colorescience makeup, it's mineral makeup sold in plastic surgery or dermatology offices, you may be able to find it online. It has great coverage and does not irritate skin at all!!|||I too love Bare Minerals. It has worked wonders for the condition of my skin. I hardly ever break out anymore (besides the occasional errant pimple, no breakouts!) Combined with their Rare Minerals Skin Revival Treatment and Rare Minerals Blemish Therapy, my skin is better than it has been in years.|||I have used Bare Minerals for almost 2 years now. I LOVE it!!





I love how natural it is, but still gives me plenty of coverage. Liquid foundation always feels heavy, is hard to match color-wise, and can give you those bad lines.





It's perfect for me also because you can sleep in it and so many times I just am too tired or lazy to clean my face at night. It has also trained me to use moisturizer every day. Because you need to put lotion on your face before you apply your makeup I don't have a choice and now it is a great habit.





The best part though is how great my skin looks!! It has been really good for my skin. It makes my skin really healthy. Recently I went and got a facial. The woman who did the facial commented on what beautiful skin I had. Later on she asked what kind of make-up I use and I told her. She then said, "no wonder your skin is so beautiful, that stuff is great for you!"





I will never go back to liquid foundation again.

Does anyone know the exact name for the color of Clinique Superfit Foundation that was a sample in Cosmo Mag?

Does anyone know the exact name for the color of Clinique Superfit Foundation that was a sample in Cosmo Magazine?


I have been to their website but I am not sure which color it matches!


Can anyone help? Thanks!|||I work for Clinique. I'm pretty sure it was Porceline Beige #8. You would be better off going to the counter and get matched.

If I use the clinique dramatically different moisturizing lotion w/even betterskin tone correcting moisturizer?

yesterday I bought two different clinique lotion and moisturizer.


One is the Clinique dramatically different moisturizing lotion and the other one is the Clinique even better skin tone correcting moisturizer SPF 20. And I want to ask if I can use these two products together?|||I actually do that exact same routine!


It works super great and both products are outstanding!


Yes, it is totally okay for you to use them together :)





hope i helped!

Did the clinique acne soultions work for your face?

I recently purchased this and have been using it for 2 days. There is no positive or negative effect so far. Is this how it worked for you?|||You will have to give it a week or two. It worked better for me than Proactiv. Did you get a facial and they told you to use it, or did you just buy that one product? You may want to go get the facial and let them tell you what all you need.|||yes, and i love it!|||I have never used it, but you got to give it a bit more time. Usually two to three weeks using it twice a day. Be patient and you will be spot free|||Maybe you have acne on a different part of your body?|||I tried it and liked the product. I saw results in about 3 weeks or a little more. I didn't like the moisturizer though, it didn't help w/ dry skin.

Is Clinique good for skincare products, or what's better?

I'm thinking of buying the 3 step Clinique skincare things (cleanser toner moisturiser) and just wanted to know if it's good? I have combination skin with a fairly uneven skin tone so I want to fix this. Should I get Clinique or is there something better? Thanks.|||I have combination skin and I cannot say enough good things about Clinique products - I've been using them since I was about 14 (I'm 25 now) and I really think they're the best thing out there.





The coolest thing is that, when you go to the Clinique counter, they will customize the products based on your skin type. They have different "strengths" of soap, toner, and moisturizer to balance different levels of oiliness and dryness in your skin. They'll ask you a few questions about your skin and put together a skincare set.





I prefer the liquid cleanser to the bar, because I think it rinses cleaner. I use the moisturizing gel in the summer when my skin is oilier and the lotion in the winter when it's drier.





Clinique also has great acne treatments, which I used when I had awful teenage skin.





You can actually take the little quiz about your skin type on their website, to see what kind of products they recommend:

My only caveat about Clinique is that they can be expensive, but for me it's worth it. I get the best results for my skin with their products.|||My personal opinion on clinique.. I don't like it. In school we did a ph test on different products. The clinique moisturizer (the yellow one) came up acidic. How can it moisturize if its acidic? I don't like it. If your looking for a professional brand try dermalogica, for a cheaper brand go with anything neutrogena, its very good.

www.neutrogena.com|||Im not really sure whats better, but I definitely wouldn't suggest using clinique. I've used it before and it didn't really do anything, dont waste your money on it. It also irritated my skin sometimes.|||I think that Clinque is good. I have been using it on and off for a long time, and just recently for about 4 years straight.


There are four different regimines, Very Dry to Dry (I), Dry Combination(II), Oily (III), and Oily Combination (IV). The 3-Step has the face soap, clarifying lotion (which is like a toner, but it is actually an exfoliant), and the Dramatically Different Lotion or Gel.


You would proabably be a III or a II. A lot of combination skin is fine with the Skin Type III 3-step in the summer, but will need to switch to Skin Type III 3-step in the winter, as the cold air and dry heat may dry the skin.


I think the best Clinique products are the 7-Day Scrub and the Total Turnaround Concentrate. The scrub is an exfoliator and polisher, which helps to remove dead surface skin cells, so that treatments and moisturizers will be effective. It also helps the skin to look polished and pores more refined. The Concentrate is a time released exfoliator, which smooths the skin, makes it brighter and more even toned. It is very very beneficial for a more even toned skin surface. I use this every night, and it is excellent.


They make an excellent SPF moisturizer called Super Defense (sunscreen is the best thing you can do for your skin) and a night moisturizer, Night Rescue, I believe, which has antioxidants (which is another good thing you can put on your skin, as they protect against free radicals).


As I have been swaying from Clinique, as far as incorporating other products into my regimine, I found that a retinol cream applied at night will aid with skin tone and clarity, as well as pores and fine lines. Retinol is a very good product to incorporate, and I heard philosophy makes a very good one called Help Me.


The hype right now is more natural products that do not contain harsh chemicals. I believe Clinique has alcohol in the clarifying lotion, as well as something in their soaps for the Oily and Oily Combination skin types.


I have been adding Jojoba oil to my cleanser and it has been doing wonders for my skin. Check out the oil cleansing method- yes, cleansing with oil, but don't freak out! Oil cleansers are all the rave right now, apparently.


But remember that whatever is good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gander. What works for some may not work for you, what is preferred by some may not be preferred by you. The only thing you can do is try it, and see if your skin has a good reaction to it, and if it benefits from it.


Clinique is great about returning. So, let them give you the skin type test and try them out.


I hope this helps and good luck!

Did the clinique acne skin care treatment work for you?

I've heard great things about this, but it's very expensive. I have under the skin acne and it's pretty noticable in certain lights.





If you have tried this product, I'd appreciate your reviews. Thx.|||Ya I loved it. I don't really like thier makeup though|||Try using revitol acnezine as it doesnt have any side effects and it cures acne easily. you can get it here http://www.revitolacnezinereviews.com|||My daughter used it but didn't get the results she wanted for the money... We tried Clear.Now from Artistry... She loves it and swears she would never change.. We get it at http://mrtester.ltdteam.com password beauty

Is the Clinique 3 step cleansing system okay to use while you are pregnant?

I was just wondering if there are any ingredients in it that would make it unsafe to use during pregnancy. Can you recommend any other skincare systems that I can use? My skin has broken out really bad this pregnancy.|||Hi! I'm currently 38.5 weeks pregnant. I had the same problem, my skin was horrible. I asked my OB about Clinique and she okay'd it. Just make sure the cleanser you're using doesn't contain more than 2% salylic acid. (It will say so on the container) My acne got so bad that I switch to the acne foam version (comes in a pump) and used the toner III followed by the oil free lotion. Worked great!!! Hope this helps!|||I don't have an answer for you but was wondering the same thing.|||I use it all the time. One of my good friends is a Clinique rep and she used it all during her pregnancy and my dr said it was fine for me to use.


Its the only thing that keeps my skin clear from those pregnancy outbreaks|||According to my midwife, you should avoid anything that is peroxide or salcylic acid based. I used the Neutogena face bar. IT didn't clear my face completely up, but it did keep break outs at bay.





Good luck and congrats
