Clinique 3 step skin care kit

For the past 1.5 year, the condition of my skin has been pretty bad. i,e acne problem. It doesn't help that the weather in Singapore is humid, and also the use of BB cream for the past couple of years might play a part in it. 

Ladies, did you know that the usage of BB cream causes the skin to be oily thus causing acne as it clogs our pores!! This is because BB cream was actually manufactured for the Koreans who have done plastic surgery to their faces which is not applicable to ours. But due to the over publicizing of BB creams in our country, we ladies will just blindly purchased these without knowing whether its suitable for our skin type.

Ok back to the topic of my horrible skin. Recently when i was skyping with my sis, i noticed that  her skin was in a pretty good condition. So i asked her what product is she using, and she recommended Clinique 3 step skin care kit.

It comes in a white pouch that makes it look sophisticated. Do purchase this at the airport as it will be much cheaper than purchasing it in their retail outlet. So lets take a look at the items inside.

So step 1 would be cleansing the face with clinique liquid facial soap. According to their specialist, the liquid soap works better than the scrub. However do be prepared to pay slightly more. The texture of this liquid soap is gel based, is scent free and transparent in color. Its really mild to the skin, and gives a refreshing feel to your face. Its suitable for all skin type.

Step 2 of the skin care routine would be applying the clarifying lotion which in common term is called a toner. I must say that this toner is pretty strong. I am not a fan of toners as my skin is rather sensitive to alcohol. However, if i do want my skin to be clear of acne ,i have to use this.  The smell of this toner has a very strong alcoholic smell to it, however the good thing about it is that it does not have a burning sensation on my skin. 

 The solution of the clarifying lotion is slightly purplish but close to transparent when i poured it onto the cotton wool.

Look at the cotton wool after i have applied the clarifying lotion on my face. You can still see that there is still some dirt on my face even after washing my face with the liquid facial soap. Therefore, this is why toners are important in our skin care regime as it can remove the excess dirt that wasn't remove during step 1.

Step 3 which is the last step would be using the moisturizing gel. As you can see the color of the moisturizer is yellow,it is scent free and thin in texture. When applied, the skin feels very soft and subtle. But the only thing which i do not like about this would be it is slightly oily when applied to my face. However, most moisturizers are oily in nature as it is needed to hydrate the skin.


This 3 step skin care kit has to be used twice a day. I have been using this for a week now, and my skin has improved slightly. My acne have become smaller and less reddish. I have yet to see whether it is really effective, as i have just started using this. But i really do hope it helps!
