Clinique Blemish Solutions Mini Kit


Included in this mini kit is a deep clean soap bar, clarifying lotion and blemish solution.


I bought this off eBay in a mad rush to find a blemish treatment for my post-exam face. My caffeine and sugar fuelled body had formed constellations on my cheek and between my brows. 
Anyway, an eBay seller was selling these kits for around £11 and I thought that was reasonably affordable and I had wanted to test the Clinique blemish treatments myself.
Now what I hadn't realised is that this didn't include the gel (which I wanted to try most of all). But I stuck to the routine for a few weeks and unfortunately saw no great results. I found that the soap bar was very drying and didn't feel very "deep cleansing" at all, and that the toner/treatment weren't special and actually very chemical smelling. Overall, my spots were not treated and my skin has been the same ever since!
So maybe it was certain types of spots that this works best for, or this was just not the right product for my skin, being very dry and sensitive etc. However, when I get the chance I would like to try these again, including the blemish gel which I've heard good reviews on.
I haven't had much luck with a lot of blemish treatments, including La Roche Posay effacular duo and the new effacular duo +. Also, the Vichy Normaderm gel which was the weirdest one, and not cheap either! The only one that I have found to work most of the time is the Balance Me Congested serum.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated, so please feel free to comment below - thanks x
