Clinique turnaround concentrate radiance renewer serum review

Clinique's Turnaround Concentrate Radiance Renew Serum

My beauty consultant at Clinique noticed that my skin was oily and dry so she introduced this product "Clinque Turnaround Concentrate Radiance Renew". She told me to use it as a serum, after toner and before moisturizer. She said that this was a Exfoliate Serum and it would help my rough and oily skin.

the product looks milky and a bit sticky

claims:

Fast acting exfoliating serum instantly creates a luminous-from-within radiance. Reveals skin's finest texture, too. Works to optimise natural cell renewal, gently, continually, unveiling skin that's brighter, healthier, more uniform. Becomes softer, younger over time. 

Apply twice a day after the 3-Step Skin Care System.  Avoid immediate eye area. Follow with appropriate treatment moisturizer.  For best results, always use sunscreen.

impressions:

• sticky (but lightweight when your skin absorbs it)
• may cause sensitive skin to break out slightly
• exfoliates your skin while nurturing "new" skin to make it look healthier
• one pump is all you need!

Prior to using this serum, I had dry "bumps" on my skin and an oily T Zone, after using this I could feel there was less oil and the bumps started to disappear (it took me about 5 days to see the changes). Unfortunately, the skin around my mouth and nose were too sensitive, after using this, I discovered some "hard Crystalized pimples" the next day... so every time I use this, I would avoid that area.

Pros:

• spreads evenly over skin
• a little goes a long way
• gets rid of terrible looking bumps

Cons:

• may cause break outs on really sensitive skin

score: 8.5/10

Clinique All About Eyes Serum De-Puffing Eye Massage Roll-On review

Clinique All About Eyes Serum

With insomnia kicking in on top of stress, my eyes have been slightly puffy. I was introduced to this by my Clinique beauty consultant. It is one of their popular products. After using it, I had to agree and was impressed by its results.

applicator

When I first opened the product, I was really surprised with the applicator! It seemed really useful. Just make sure that you give a few roll on (I usually do 2-3 times to make sure the product comes out properly, sometimes you need to apply some pressure to the tube for the serum to come out.

Suitable Skin Types: All

Description (by Clinique):

This instantly cooling rollerball helps massage away bags, refreshes and hydrates puffy eyes on contact. Brightens eye area immediately and over time. Combats dark circles, too. With caffeine, potent antioxidants and soothing botanicals. Oil-free, non-irritating. Ophthalmologist Tested.

Impressions

• Light weighted
• Cool feeling (applicator is cold and soothing)
• Works after a few days, you can see your eye's puffiness 'inflating"

 

product is very clear (you see the slight shimmer on my hand?)

Pros

• cooling effect (helps minimize appearance of puffiness)
• easy to use
• refreshing
• "instant results" (took me 2 days to notice a significant difference)
• your skin easily absorbs the serum

Cons:

• cannot moisturize
• does not get rid of dark circles (I was hoping it could)
• only has one function: getting rid of puffy eyes

This was the first eye serum I have used to "de-puff" my eyes, so I can't compare this with other products. That being said, I was extremely impress with the results as it only took 2 days for my eyes to appear less puffy. However, quite disappointed that it did nothing to my dark circles...

score: 8.5/10

Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus serum review

I have decided to grab this image straight from Clinique's official site since the pictures I took of it didn't seem to look good at all (not appealing), let alone posting them on Instagram.

The Serum is called Clinique repairwear laser focus - wrinkle & UV damage corrector. Although I do not have any wrinkles nor do I go out into the sun too much, I have noticed the significant difference it has made to my skin.

This is officially my favourite serum! I absolutely love how it absorbs into my skin immediately after application and how smooth and soft my skin feels after using it for just 2 days. (I have used this for about a month now, and I love how my skin feels so soft and smooth).

When you first put it on your hand, it feels like milk. Once you apply it on your face your skin instantly absorbs it. What is so amazing about this serum is after you have applied it to your skin it only takes a few minutes for your skin to feel so soft and smooth.

Though it is marketed for those with wrinkles or UV damaged skin, (I have neither of these) I didn't feel it being too strong for my dry skin (and other blemishes, which it did help me get rid of!). Unfortunately, it doesn't help you get rid of large pores.

I highly recommend this serum for those with really dry skin as it does make your skin feel so hydrated. But keep in mind it can be a bit pricey. I would recommend this for those who desperately need their skin to be soft and smooth for major events coming up soon (e.g. prom, formal, weddings, etc) as it instantly "fixes" your skin. It also does a great job in fixing "blemishes" and "bumps" on your skin too.
