Clinique is a brand I can trust when it comes to skin care products, so they should work great!
Just make sure that once you've applied your Clarifying Lotion to a cotton wool pad, you're not pressing hard. Keep to light strokes, even if you do have dry patches, leave it to the moisturizer.
1 pump may not be enough. It might be that you need 1 pump & a half, or 2 even. Make sure that it's being applied all over the face & if you feel your skin could do with a little more, apply a little more, but make sure that it's absorbing.
You want to get yourself an SPF too & Clinique do a few of these. When you go to your Clinique store, let them know your skin type and they will help you to choose one. Some can be quite moisturizing, others are very lightweight & leave no greasy feeling at all.
lastly, I'll recommend this,
Cliniques Pore Minimizer Refining Mask!
I recommend this for everyone, no matter what skin type you are! This mask sucks out all the oil in your pores without making your skin feel dry. It's gentle, yet effective. Helps to minimize the appearance of pores, as they enlarge with age & leaves your skin very smooth. Great for makeup application! I always make sure I have this in my home.
