Clinique's Anti-Blemish 3-Step Intro Kit was my first introduction into the world of Clinique. I decided to give it a go when I was looking for a system that would work for my acne-prone skin, and this kit was a great introduction to the range.
Like most skin kits it contains a cleanser, toner and moisturizer. The packaging is the same as the full-size versions and once I had converted to full-size I kept the bottles for the cleanser and toner to decant into when I went away.
The cleanser is a foaming solution with pump which disperses a small amount of foam, allowing you to use as little or as much as you need. This is my preferred solution when it comes to cleansers so I am happy with that. I used it after removing makeup to cleanse my skin. The formula isn't hardworking enough to remove makeup by itself so this really does need to be a two-step process. The cleanser is mild enough for sensitive skin but did leave my skin dry but not overly tight, which I guess for an acne cleanser was the point.
The toner is quite harsh and astringent. Effective for acne skin but for mild to moderate acne I would suggest something else. I stuck with the cleanser and moisturizer and used a mild toner in between instead.
The clearing treatment moisturizer is fantastic and my favourite out if the three it was my moisturizer of choice for several years before switching to a heavier moisturizer when my skin changed. The formula is lightweight and kept my skin feeling hydrated but not clogged or greasy.
Overall I highly recommend this kit as a way to try out the Clinique Anti-Blemish range if you have acne-prone skin.
I bought this with a view to clearing up my complexion however after one use of the cleansing foam it gave me a bad allergic reaction on my sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin do NOT buy it!!!!
