How do I work for Clinique?

DOES CLINIQUE WORK WITH DIFFERIN 0.1% CREAM?

• BEEN USING CLINIQUE 3 STEP FOR 3 WEEKS AND SKIN ITS DEFINITELY WORST AND BEEN USING DIFFERIN 0.1% CREAM AT NIGHT. I WAS USING THE CLARIFYING LOTION #3 BUT I FELT IT WAS TOO HARSH SO I SWITCHED TO #1 AND I ALSO SWITCHED THE OILY SKIN FORMULA FACE WASH TO MILD. WILL THIS COMBINATION WORK?

• Answer:

  This sounds like a bad combination. I also use Differin but I was told by my dermatologist to use a creamy face wash with no beads or scrubbers in it. I use clean and clear's creamy benzoyl wash, and leftover proactiv toner with Cereve moisturizer. Cereve was reccomended as a light moisturizer that would not irritate my skin. I would reccoemnd those products to you, since my cystic acne was cleared up by them (my face is acne free now!) plus if your cleanser has any scrubbing bits in it, it may be irritating your acne, especially if you taking apply a product like Differin.
