Question by Lizzie Earle: Has anyone ever had problems with the Clinique acne solutions three step medication?
I recently purchased the Clinique acne solutions products and after a few days of use I resulted in a huge breakout all over the right side of my face. Although it did clear up some trouble spots on my forehead. Is this supposed to happen, or has this ever happened to you?

Your skin is probably reacting to a new product and this product may not be the right one for your skin.

I tried Clinique awhile ago and found it a bit too harsh and drying for my skin. The lotion especially was drying my skin out. If that is the case with you, you could try to dampen the cotton pad with a bit of water which will lessen the harsh impact on the skin.

With acne it is all trial and error. No matter what people say, at the end of the day your skin is unique and will respond differently to different products.

Taking care of your insides is just as important as the products you put on your skin, so keep looking, be patient, and often you will find that the simplest things give the best results.
