About a year ago I had incredibly horrid acne (pustules...etc) and I tried everything from Proactiv, Murad, to just regular cleanser and the only thing that made my acne go away was Clinique. I didn't pick anything out on my own...I had a lady who was dedicated to helping me pick out only the best products for my oily face, and within a week of using it I seen such a dramatic difference. It was wonderful! I don't use Clinique anymore because I'm trying this stuff called Cosmedix, but once I'm done with Cosmedix I think I'll go back to using Clinique.
