i should have read the ingredients before purchasing. the toner contains alcohol and the moisturizer is mineral oil. ugh. this is bullshit of the highest degree! it's making my skin worse, yet it was expensive.

May I suggest the ALBA brand and also JASON? They are a bit more costly than the average drugstore brand, but basically natural. My skin is super pale and very sensitive and I've had luck with both of the above. Expensive (in beauty products) does not equal better.

perhaps that product sucks, but clinique does not.

and they give out better gift sets (like when you spend X amout of dollars, you get the free gift set) with cuter packaging than their competators.

sorry but their superbalanced foundation is my best friend, so i can't talk shit.

Clinique is weird.
I started using the 3 step over a year ago, and it worked really really well for the first few months, my skin had never looked better. Then after those first few months my skin started to get bad again, really dry etc. (Possibly due to the alcohol in the toner) so i had to stop using it.
I do it for a week at a time occasionally & it does my skin wonders.

It seems to be anything I use for too long eventually makes my skin feel crap again.

But yeah, the alcohol in the toner is pretty hardcore.

Are you using the sensitive skin products?
