I think many people find them drying, I do have a friend almost 76 who swears by the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion! Smile

I love Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. It's a simple lotion that hydrates well.

I, however, no longer use it because my skin now has different needs.

I've had experience with Clinique Acne Set, and it was the worst reaction I've ever had to product use. My skin started flaking uncontrollably to the point where I couldn't go outside. And it's hard to find ingredient lists for any of their products which is a red flag for me.

I am not recommending it at all, my friend who uses the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion (still at 76) has great genes, her mother had awesome skin into her 90's when she finally passed.

I think like any brand there are good and bad products. You just need to review the ingredients. I like a couple of their products.

I agree. The only brand that I know wherein nearly of their products have gotten accolades is Eminence Organics.

It seems like EDS members, especially, love Eminence.

I still say nasty things about the Clinique Toner. Stripped the paint right off my bedside table.

yes i think the basic 3-steps contain much alcohol inside.
By the way, their liquid foundation is quite good and cheap.

It may be that the products are not bad but not that good. I am often intrigued by the yellow Dramatically Different moisturizer, my mom used it. Is filled with parabens though.

I used clinique as a teen and into my mid twenties. At that time I had very oily skin and allot of acne. The 3 step system for oily skin got rid of the acne and access oil; but only for a short time. I also used the make-up. Ironically, the powders and foundations made my skin really shiny. I was very ignorant then and I think the cleanser was stripping my skin of too many oils. Now I'm leary of any department store brand. Based on my own experience and some of the above negative comments, I don't recommend it.
