CLINIQUE CLARIFYING MAKEUP CLEAR SKIN FORMULA! SATURDAYS AT SEPHORA!
Katie here, I just don't know what the problem is. I guess it's hormones. But for the last 9 months or so, my skin that has always been relatevely "problem-free" just likes to break out constantly. I used to only break ou on my chin or forehead but I get them in the middle of my cheek now! I think I'm even more self-conscious about my skin than I would have been at 13 or 14 because I know I'm doing everything right! I take my makeup off at night; I moisturize and tone. I do masks! So I appreciate any product that helps in any way!
This summer I sort of got into the Clinique Acne Solutions line - I love the Salycilic Acid clarifying lotion just to dry out all those zit-y suckers! And it really does smooth your skin. Now usually, you think wearing a complexion product (foundation, tinted moisturizer, etc ) is sort of counterproductive to healing your skin. So basically daytime = pore clogging, nighttime = treatment). But with the Clinique Clarifying Makeup Clear Skin formula the you get makeup and treatment in one. And it really works! Its a "foundation that gives oiily skin a smooth, perfecting look. Helps skin stay easily blemish free - controiling oil, minimizing pores. A soft-matte, velvety finish keeps skin flawless-looking all day."
And at $20.50 it's about half the cost of a lot of high-end cosmetic foundation prices. Plus it has a gorgeous finish.
I'd love to hear what anyone else who's tried it thinks:

For some reason my skin was clearing up a week ago and all of a sudden t went 'bam' and now it is COVERED in pimples..... I'll have to pick this up soon... Is it really heavy? I don't want to look cakey!
Ah the fun of hormones and skin! I had the same problem--pretty good skin until I hit 24 then acne! My skin was worse than when in high school. I finally went to the dermatologist and had to go on Accutane. Point being that my derm told me this happens to lots of women--skin freaks out due to hormones in mid-20s.
Oooooh! You are SOOOO right! This stuff WORKS and IS a bargin!!! I got a terrible case of "uglies" when in LA for 10 days,not sure why maybe the water in the hotel? Anyways,my skin went haywire and nothing I had packed was doing the trick so I made a little excursion to "Sephora" at Hollywood/Highland and along with a couple of hundred dollars worth of color and scent,I also snagged a tube of this and within a couple of days,my skin was looking and feeling MUCH more presentable!My only "negative" is the rather limited color range but the coverage,healing-properties,and general great effects is worth maybe not having the perfect match to me...I wouldn't use it everyday but it's a truly effective foundation for skin that's mis-behaving!SO glad you brought it out of the dark and shared it here!
Sounds pretty fabulous Kate and mjsred. I hear you on the "uglies" what is it with that? Zits can be so unfair.
Absolutely not heavy! Goes on very smoothly,covers everything and leaves a beautiful finish...not cakey-look at all!!!
I would like to consider this. But I am not a foundation person. Would this be appealing to someone who does not normally wear foundation and is a little uncomfortable with a mask feeling?
I haven't tried this makeup. But I have tried some of the other products from the acne solutions kit. I particularly love the facial toner and the moisturizer. These things really help your skin if you have problems with acne.
ohhh!! I use clinique products and i guess this should work too! : )I really like clinique and i'm pretty sure this would work really well : ).I used to break out only on my forehead because I had bangs, but after I started to use foundation or blemish coverups, I starts to break out on my cheeks. JUST LIKE WHAT THIS AUTHOR SAID. DD:so hopefully I'll have time and money to buy this and try it : )
i love clinique products, so i think ill try this one
i like clinique product when i put on my face i think i'm like very clean because these products are with no scent very simple but they work anytime on me .

i like clinique, but neither the superfit nor superbalance have been able to control the oil on my skin.. i looked shiny pretty fast, so im hesitant to try this one... the idea is great though. :)
I hear so much about this brand, apparently it works fine... But there celebrity advertising puts me off
I've had bad experiences with Clinique...I don't like what they put in their face products and makeup. I used their cleansing bar once (the thing was like $25 at the time for this gigantic bar of soap) and dried my skin horribly. I tend to avoid the Clinique counter at the mall.
