Having Suffered on-and-off with my skin for the last 6/7 years of my life, I was at my wits end. I mean, I don't have the worst skin imaginable but I do suffer constantly with at-least 2 or 3 spots (if I'm lucky), open pores, oily skin and acne scaring which overall has really knocked my confidence, I'm too embarrassed to go out make-up-less, always having to have a full foundation routine slapped on my face. Which with summer fast approaching I really don't want to be doing. The goal is to be able to pop on a bit of tinted moisturiser and mascara and be on my way.
I Have tried exfoliation, all the face washes under the sun and creams from the Doctors. All seemed to work for a while but after a few weeks maybe more, it was as if my skin 'got used' to the products and they became less effective.
Now, after endless google-ing, reading blog reviews and watching YouTube videos I finally decided to take the plunge and head to my nearest Clinique counter for a consultation. Within a couple of questions from the Clinique dermatologist I was matched to the Anti-Blemish system, which I kinda guess i'd be matched to anyway. I was offered a 4-Week Trial for £25 which for some may seem a little pricey but for me and the lack of confidence my skin often gives me it was worth a go.
As the name suggests the system is split into 3 easy steps.
- Step 1 - Anti-Blemish Solutions Cleansing Foam.
This is the deep cleanse, removing make-up (but from what I've noticed only if not heavy make-up)
- Step 2 - Anti-Blemish Solutions Clarifying Lotion.
Which Unclogs pores that can lead to spots.
-Step 3 - Anti-Blemish Solutions All-Over Clearing Treatment Oil-Free.
Fancy Name for a moisturiser really!
I've only been using it a few days now so not really in a position to write my full opinions as of yet, but what i can say is so far so good. The lady did mention that sometimes skin can get worse before it gets better but luckily (so far) that is not something I have come across.
I Have an appointment after my 4-week trial is up early May so no doubt by then I will have a better insight into this product! :)
